The Scoutman

IHGHZSemfhw And we have a winner.

If we use the half-life speedrun as a guide, remove the opening tram ride, and the final boss, then Ross is roughly 69% through the game. Cuz you know, Ross totally gonna use snarks as a staircase and skip huge ammounts of the game. At this point of the game, there are many glitchful weapons (tau cannon + snarks) and enviroments ( the low grav in xen), thus why this part seems to be so short on the speedrun.

I can understand where he is coming from with most of his points, but wow, most of his arguments are so weak, I agree that video-games should be compared to movies, and there are way more movies with great stories than games with great stories, so he starts to mention movies like "Gone with the wind", movies that were made while there was no games or games were nothing more than a few squares in a screen, movies that were made in a completely different context of the modern world. If gamers are the only kind of people that is dumb enough to suck up games with terrible stories, why we still have plenty blockbusters in the movie industry with a story that is as bad as DNF story? Say, Transformers (1,2 and 3), Fast and Furious 2 and 3 (1,4 and 5 were a little better). Its simple, its because there is a huge audience made of action junkies, horny teenagers and people who love Family Guy "comedy". I do agree that there is a big nitpicking on graphics when it comes to gaming, but when several 60$ games got a terrible story and a overused gameplay, we kinda earn the right to demand graphical perfection if nothing else. The fact that this guy thinks PC gaming is diying due to piracy made he lose almost all his credibility with me, as a matter of fact, i recall buying around 100 pirated games for consoles, I barely have 5 pirated games in the PC, why? Because at the time i used to buy pirated games, I was a complete fool when it came to technology, Physical copies would have some hard taxes and would eventually break, consoles offered no customer support whatsoever, and almost all games were mainly single player only and i was unaware of how much effort was put into these games, basically, i was a fool to the gaming universe. Im not saying that the fact pirating the PC is nowadays way more temptig than to buy a pirated game for one of the modern console has not affected the PC gaming, but the PC gaming is quickly adapting to resist the piracy. Why do you think VALVe haven't launched a single-player only game since 2007? Because they know single-player games are the main target of piracy, so instead of getting profit on the game itself, VALVe offers support the pirate community will never be able to offer: Constant updates, easy access to multiplayer, technical support, etc. And all of this come for free, people willingly pay an extra buck on in-game items (see tf2), and refusing to do so does not affect your gaming experience, you still can play the games as well as anyone else. All of this opposed to the consoles 60$ "sequels". I am not proud of being a gamer, but im not ashamed of it, it is just a part of who I am; this entire article seems to be all about making gamers feel bad about themselves, and what is the point of that? Giving a reality check to the ones that are really guilty of most of the flaws he called? I really hope so, because i dont any other point in this article (besides the one already mentioned) that isnt pressing people into giving up on gaming.

ERECT.

Banned because maybe he was just sympathizing with the ones that don't drink sodas.

Thats one big poster right there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it...

Banned because i see dots right next to the usernames, and i think you had something to do with it

Be quiet, feeble sandraker

On the bright side, im pretty sure none of us is like this: I usually dont take curses seriously, so i tend to forget some people do take swearing seriously and cuss a little when im in my casual mood.

f79ulcxRjas Good concept, flawed performance? Anyway, even without any bugs, i still get the feeling this would get very repetitive in no time. So, are we going to rob zombie banks now? Maybe a crossover campaing, one set in the regular world (for Payday) and one set after the zombie apocalypse (for L4D)

DUDE, IF I DONT HAVE MY FIX OF FREEMAN'S MIND MY SKIN WILL START TO BURN, MY LUNGS WILL MELT AND MY EYES WILL START TO BLEED or i will just calmly wait for a few weeks, still, thats some dangereous stuff.

Nah, there are a lot of people into BDSM stuff

Well, i think Ross updated the progress bar 3 times today, cant deny he did work hard in the dialogue today.

Banned because i wasnt even aware BTG was banned, what for? No shirt, no forum?

The Scoutman claims the hill, its as simple as that when the former owner gets hit by a train and no one claim the hill.
