grayling

i hope that if it goes into a debate it can remain pretty civil. have fun, ross

loved the episode!

with the incoming holiday-sized summer update, i'm curious about how much content in it is going to be genuinely worthwhile. what we have to look forward to most are the maps, we just have to hope valve picks good/good bad maps instead of things like wutville

summer update is pretty minor, though at least most of the hats in the new crate aren't lame yeah i've been playing again for around a month and at least in NA bots are largely not a problem any more. the bigger issue at this point imo are human cheaters. people are very reluctant to kick anyone with items even when they're pretty blatantly cheating. i've heard bots are a bigger issue in EU servers, although the few times the system has thrown me into them i didn't see any

that bit about cutscene death reminded me of this welcome to the bridge.mp4

Bane?

ross twitter beef with survarium wasn't what i expected to see today

ultra migraine: prequel to the amazing halo video

i think you're being a little premature here in thinking that he's completely written the gravity gun out of the series, otherwise i don't see why effort was put into modding how it functions. ross mentioned in a video chat that he'll see how the gravity gun plays out since its been modded.

i liked this episode! withdrawal being alleviated aside, it was an enjoyable episode - i particularly liked the jokes about the saw thrower, eddy and how freeman tried to punt the zombies with the gravity gun, got confused when that didn't work and then later assumed its battery died. i also like how freeman's tone has shifted to be less ultra freaked out, even if he had justifiable reasons for it in episodes prior

it's a bit of a pain to play through in both games, but it looks pretty nice in clear sky. it's hard to fully enjoy shadow of chernobyl's red forest when you're trying to avoid getting sniped by SVD-toting monolith stalkers, along with the visual effect from the brain scorcher. still though, cool area

lab x-18 from stalker: shadow of chernobyl is high up there for me

caught me off guard, well done
