I'm going to school in September where I'll learn even more. I came from a background in 2d animation where I have done several animations that include entire characters, I've just yet to do that sort of thing in 3d. Also: Only real men render in candy colours.

So, I'm pretty much a self taught animator who started out working in a program called Flash when I was like 9. Now, I do 3d work in the source engine. Here are some examples of my stuff: RnL Mod Animation Reel http://www.youtube.com/user/foist101#p/u/13/YfKAnaViDnc Some Random Unreleased CSS Stuff *I have separate vids of these, but they are from my old PC so they are very laggy. This one works just as well.* AK-Forty Sexy (AK47) CSS (again, slow old video) http://www.youtube.com/user/foist101#p/u/28/EGAVpe7esMg Bizon SMG Test Reel (fairly old) http://www.youtube.com/user/foist101#p/u/33/QCGSce9vFCs

Pre-ordered a while ago. Can't waiiiiit!

Just got through Mafia II. It was alright, I love the whole mobster thing. Plus if you can run PhysX, shooting up a store front results in hundreds of chunks of glass and wood littering the streets and shop floor <3 Starting on Bioshock 2 right away. I like to wait until these games go on sale before I pick em up.

I liked the original Flatout. I'd go into demo derby and put on some Slipknot (Before I Forget). The groove would kick in just as the lights turned green. I also used to play a lot of NFS on Gamecube back when they were into the illegal street racing stuff (Underground, etc) I had some pretty kick ass cars...

Gah its hard to choose only 5! I have so many classics I love and so many moderns I play all the time! 1. Basically ANY Valve game released since their creation (lul) 2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3. Penumbra Overture+Black Plague 4. Battlefield Bad Company 2 (+Vietnam) 5. Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days (I like this game, so much hate on it. :''C)

Me too. I also don't really see any merit with choosing a favorite, I just enjoy watching them. I enjoyed Oil's Well, but I can see why some might not. Its kinda like a political cartoon; its good if you understand it and are into that kind of humor but most would rather read Garfield.

Damn Mr. Satan! Also if you guys like Penumbra you probably know about Amnesia. Its their most recent well known title. Its not quite as obscure but it certainly has the game play and appeal of an obscure game.

As you can probably tell by now from my avatar, I quite enjoyed this game. I remember playing it way back in 2000 and having a blast. The characters are all insanely creepy and the world is full of wonder and chaos. While it may have received a large amount of praise back in the day, there's quite a few who haven't heard of it. With the new game "Alice: Madness Returns" coming out soon, its worth at least checking out an LP (Helloween4545 has a good one.) Jeez I'm kind of becoming an unofficial spokesperson for him. ^_^

I just mean that they kind of muscled their way into the motion control market to steal the fire. In regards to what Nintendo does with their games they are pretty much on the sidelines; hitting on the soccer moms and handing out balloons while Microsoft and Sony manly flex and grunt.

Hmmm, hard to narrow it down... my favorites are probably SHODAN, Andrew Ryan, Clarence (Penumbra Black Plague, "Take a joke, monkey..."), and GlaDOS for sure. The Queen of Hearts is also, undoubtedly, a massive bitch... 'nuff said.

Haha yeah Nintendo is quite famous for that. While the games may not be quite as pretty who doesn't enjoy a good round of Mario Kart with family or friends? Also I'm glad you used the family-friendly aspect as the niche rather than the technology it employs. While that may be why some people picked it up at first, Sony and Microsoft weren't about to be outdone.

I'll play just about anything (except RPGs... I despise RPGs and MMOs with the burning passion of a thousand suns...) but I mainly play shooters and action adventure games. Although, I guess games like STALKER can be considered RPGs it still has elements I enjoy such as shooting things in the face. When I say RPGs I dislike I mean the ones where you wander a grassy field until you are forced into a mind numbingly slow turn based battle. While I enjoy blasting the ever loving hell out of things I also enjoy a good adventure game (can you tell by my avatar? )

Then again that's another platform that fan boys use to launch attacks from. But I do agree, if there's enough good games on a system to warrant the price I'll get it. That's why I have an XBox, because PS3 had very few games at launch. I'm starting to think about picking one up though because Killzone and Uncharted look delicious.

I tied my card to my paypal account, so it takes the cash right out of my bank account and only uses the card if the cost exceeds my balance. Never had any problems with card denial yet.

I'm glad they are still working on it. I've kinda lost all the fire I had for it in 2009 when they were going on about it being released, but I suppose that'll make it even more exciting when it finally comes out. However theres always the backlash of the over-hyped development; some people who have little knowledge of what it takes to develop a mod will undoubtedly screech about why it took so long.

Most people never know a person online is a girl until they either post a picture on a forum or use their microphone in-game.

Lolwat.

Name, address, phone nu-... okay nevermind. Tell us a bit about yourselves! My name is Ryan, I am 18 and I live in Alberta, Canada. I like to snowboard, snowmobile, read, animate, game, watch movies and hang out. My interests include history (WWII, reading about anything to do with bank robberies/shootouts), lifestyles and the romantic elements of crime life and the old west, modding, animation, and gaming. I also seem to have some unnecessary fascination with military helmets... Seriously I own everything from an M1C to a fully rigged modern US Marine PASGT. If someone buys me a bit of helmet scrim or an original helmet cover I am all over them. Oddly enough there's a long story I wont get into about how one of my helmets kind of got me the girl of my dreams whom I have been with happily for over a year now. For reference here's me when I sold one of my precious hunks of formed steel. Sad, sad day. Lol. I like WWII movies/shows/books, I adore cats, and I have a sexy red truck and a snowmobile with a mustache. Anyway kgo.

I used to get my ass handed to me in my old DoDs clan by a girl. Her and I were the best sharpshooters and became the company marksmen(markspeople?). We'd usually have little competitions that generally ended in me getting owned. I know and game with several females (not surprising they generally make the most friends in games xD). There has been a few on and off in the ICTON vent but the other 'special' individuals usually scare them off quickly. ^_^ Also worth noting is that my girlfriend avidly plays games and is pretty much addicted to Minecraft multiplayer.

Try to resist me. Sorry ladies, I'm taken.

Helps pass the time brotha! I'm pretty sure someone will post a dedicated thread when its released.

I like any console but I'm mainly a PC guy, especially since I just built my first gaming rig (more people need to do this; saves money and is quite easy if you do a little research.) Not to mention the graphics will always be superior to consoles if you have the right hardware. Toss Killzone 3 on a $2000 gaming rig and It'll probably blow PS3 out of the water visual and performance wise (my best example so far is Bad Company 2. It just looks and runs so much better on my pc that on my XBox.) That being said, console wars are dumb, I'd own a PS3, Xbox360, PSP, DS, etc if I could afford them all.

I love the part where he is getting choked by the barnacle. "GgggKKKK GGGAHHHHKK *BREATH* WHAT THE FUCK! Now I'm covered in blood- in my hair!" Just the way he says it makes me crack up. ^_^

When I play the Half Life series now, any thinking about is going on in the game comes to my mind in Ross' voice. I literally have his voice stuck in my brain. God damn you Ross, *god damn youuu*!
