I just finally checked out their opening flash video, which is great.

Yes...it always starts out as kidding....but next thing you know, just while you still THINK it's you in control....something darker and much more sinister starts to take over your mind, until you're nothing more than a lost soul dominated by a hidious force..... :ph34r:

For those that care, the track I was thinking of seems to be called "Lambda Core." I'm probably biased since while it was playing I was arguably going through one of the coolest moments in FPS gaming history at the moment, but it's what was playing in HL1, as well as in the Half-Life 2 chase sequence when you're on the waterboat. While listening to it I could practically see the beautiful water getting strafed by guys up on bridges as I weave in and out dodging obstacles and gunfire from the troopers as well as the helicopter. Sooooo many memories.....

Becareful, lest we fall into the trap of volournism :alanschu:

You complain about being forced to use T3, but then suggest that we give T3 an ability that we would need him for on some missions??? Malak constantly appearing in the story doesn't make him more developed. Ironically, you spend virtually the entire game of KOTOR 2 .

Orchestral music works in some settings, and not so well in other settings. I starting "finding" the soundtrack for HL2, and it's surprisingly untechno IMO. Many of the tracks I remember from Ravenholm and the final chapter of the game, and brought back some good memories. There are some more techno tracks, but I don't recall the music ever being inapprorpiate for the scene. If I find many more tracks, I'll probably find myself playing the game again.

We've all done movies we kind of regret. I mean, you were in Anaconda!!! While I voiced Lou the Beagle in Cats and Dogs.

It's the rugged handsomeness provided by said facial growth. Another one of me: There are many pictures where I don't see much of a resemblance between myself and Mr. Parker....but some of them are kind of creepy...almost like looking in a mirror.

I was very surprised about the hoopla about dual-wielding....since even GoldenEye had dual wielding. I guess it didn't have the dynamic, combo any weapon you want type dual wielding, but meh....The Punisher had that

Why do some people say Schedule -> skedule, when some people say it -> shedule? You're getting your panties in a bunch because people pronounce things differently? We speak English in Canada. They speak English in England. Yet we pronounce things differently.

I don't follow the consoles too closely, but I usually still check on people's claims. If someone came in hyping up how r0x0r the PS3 was going to be, then I'd point out its shortcomings as well.

Am I the only one that didn't think there was any revelation at all in KOTOR 2? (not that that is a bad thing).

I figured you would have played KOTOR 1.

Did you read the write up about him? Parts of it talk about how sad it would be for him to not get a gig somewhere.

Yeah, I have 1.5 working with Half-Life version 1.1.1.0 A friend wants to have a guys weekend together as a pre-bachelor party for himself, and it's going to include a LAN on Friday, with paintball on Saturday. I haven't gone to a LAN in like 3 years, so it should be fun. But I want to get Half-Life working since it has a few games in one, plus counterstrike and it should be easy enough with the 10 or so people we have coming. Other games we're considering are Serious Sam and Action Quake 2. Perhaps it's just because we have good LAN memories with those games, but few other games scream LAN. Plus older games seem to be easier to play without everyone bringing their own copy of the game :ph34r:

Half-Life 2 utilized a very similar music style to Half-Life 1. I would have been disappointed if they decided to change the music personally. But the title screen music for Halo that I had grown so familiar with when I was watching the game's development for the Mac/PC in 2000 was perfect. I don't think that style of music would be appropriate for Half-Life 2 however. The worst thing about the music in the Half-Life games is that there isn't enough of it. Having said that, there's one Half-Life track that made its way into Half-Life 2 that is probably the best action music track I had ever experienced. If you're not sure which track I'm talking about, it's on the We've Got Hostiles level . That same track was played during a . It's a heavy guitar riff with a good beat and excellent tempo, and is perfect for any chaotic action scene.

Even when I was 2/18 Scoundrel/Consular I never had much problems with KOTOR 1. Although Malak was a bit more tedious with a force user than a saber master IMO.

I think Halo is impressive to any console gamer that didn't play Half-Life a few years earlier.

Artificial Lifeform Limited to Assasination and Nullification

I was kind of waiting for Epiphany's response. I had a really good second punch waiting Oh well. Bold prediction, Sony for teh win based on the games they have. Of course it's always easy voting for the defending champion

Neither game provided challenges IMO. I died more in KOTOR 1 simply because I stayed level 2 for all of Taris in one playthrough.

How many would vote for Bastila if there wasn't a cheesy romance with her in KOTOR?

I'm just curios what's the latest version of Half-Life you can download without getting Steam? I've seen 1.1.1.0 which should be sufficient. Alternatively, what's the latest version of Counterstrike that will run on 1.1.1.0?

Except you need a PC to log onto the forum.

The Flood? The Flood sounds more correct. It's a "the" something. I didn't like the Strogg either
