  1. I'd suggest getting the demo to Bioshock first. I got the game and I ended up not liking it much. As for suggestions, Scratches just became available on steam for like 8 bucks. great game.
  2. Diet Big K soda (generic diet coke)
  3. Over the weekend, the psn was down, so I couldn't continue online co-op. I got bored enough that I tried playing splitscreen by myself... and I finished. At first I was just messing around, but after a while it became a fun challenge to juggle the actions on the two controllers. I would have to time button presses and at some points operate three analog sticks at once.
  4. It really is an awesome game. The only problem I had with the single player was that it didn't really get hard enough. Even up to the end of the game, I was pretty much walking through the chambers.
  5. I was just playing for like 6 hours. It's absolutely awesome. The gameplay, the writing, the visuals, it's really really great.
  6. The UPS man should be by soon... *looks out window*
  7. Symbolic. Were your family black as well? No, actually. I'm a white straight guy. I thought it was pretty weird I dreamed of being a black woman with a husband.
  8. I had a dream recently where I was a black woman who was trying to start a family. Me and my husband and our children built a house together. Then my husband did something bad. It's very blurry. Then me and my children were somehow all powerful. I went back somehow to the time before my husband and I had had kids, and we were building an enormous tower together, but somehow he fell from the tower.
  9. Screw internet explorer. I'm never switching from Netscape.
  10. Amazon just confirmed the release date shipment should be here tomorrow! So excited.
  11. Ads only appear on videos if the channel operator wants them too, and they get a cut of the money. I made around a hundred bucks on it before they decided my videos weren't popular enough to get ads.
  12. lol, Mine's gonna look like garbage (cause it is). It's a Dell Vostro 1510 business laptop that I bought used for 450 bucks. I'm not going to bother to post the technical specs, you know they're not great. The 1 key has fallen off the keyboard, and the X and shift keys work only half the time. The hdd is 250gb, and I have an external 1tb drive that I use for extra storage, Steam games, and a full backup of the internal drive. I don't use it a lot for gaming, partly because the screen is a matte lcd and looks like garbage, and also because it can't handle anything at decent settings.
  13. Working on retopo for game assets. Ultra boring. If you want to make game art, the process of retopo will put you off of it for a good while.
  14. Ok. I can't find any solid numbers for both budget and sales on any big games. (Except record setters like CoD) They seem to be protective of that info for some reason. Though, I'd guess no multimillion dollar game comes close to a 6000 to 1 profit, seeing as at a budget of 1 million, that would be 6 billion dollars.
  15. Quoted from wikiped: That's 33 million dollars over what I can only guess is a three to four digit cost to make.
  16. No. When it comes to DRM, if I am inconvenienced more than just once at install, I don't buy the game. I'm trying to spread this mentality, but it's kind of hard when people would obey the law if it told them to jump off a cliff into a vat of razor blades. What does Minecraft have to do with DRM? I was saying Minecraft is a 20 dollar game that was more profitable than many 60 dollar games.
  17. Working on a high poly model for the new splinter cell game. lol, just kidding, it's for modeling practice.
  18. Yes games are overpriced, generally. Indie developers have proven that you don't need a 60 dollar price tag to make huge profits. Minecraft anyone?
  19. Considering the amount of time I spent running around going insane trying to figure things out in Portal, I think my first playthrough took around 4 or 5 hours. So a first run of Portal 2, for me at least, would be 16-20 hours.
  20. The only paranormal thing I believe may truly exist is Bigfoot. Most evidence presented is certainly hoaxed, but there are a few that are unexplainable. Like the Patterson Gimlin film, the most famous image of bigfoot ever. Analysts have said that if it was a costume, it was much more advanced than any costume produced for TV or film during that period, or arguably, ever. The motion of the leg and arm muscles seen in stabilized versions of the film, as well as movement of the breasts, most scientists are baffled by.
  21. Be it an opening cinematic, or the first part of a game, what's your favorite game intro sequences? Here's my top 5: 1. Riven Absolutely chilling, after the sometimes laughable acting of Myst. The cyan logo preceeding the opening speech from Atrus just sent a shiver down my spine the first time I played it around 1999. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpbwSAp1JJc 2. Fallout 1 I never got into the game itself, but the intro to that game also gave me one of those chilled to the bone moments, when the music stops and you hear the grave tone of the "War never changes" monologue. 3. Shadow of the Colossus A long one, maybe 10 minutes total. Very little dialogue and a lot left unanswered. It really drew you into what is the best game of all time in my humble opinion. (this is only the first part of the intro) 4. Ico Shadow's thousand year sequel released prior was an amazing game on all fronts, and the intro just leaves you so confused and creeped out, that they would kill this little boy. 5. Half Life 1 In 1997, the tram ride and subsequent trip through a healthy black mesa before everything goes wrong was a bolt from a blue, and in my opinion, the first maturely designed mainstream game.
  22. Simon and Garfunkel We got a Groovy Thing Goin' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38lPvuCTMqA
  23. I doubt they're going to combine Portal and HL to such an extent as to have her be on the borealis. Aperture labs is extremely isolated. So much so that we don't even have an idea what continent it's on, and the combine doesn't even seem to know it's still running.
  24. No one. So you believe the concept of morality doesn't exist outside of a person's interpretation of it. That is where you and I disagree, but I've talked at great length about where moral rights come from, so I won't repeat myself right now. Alright. I'm glad we understand each other. Debates like this usually don't end in one side admitting defeat, but it's nice when we can agree to disagree.
