A bit too effusive.

[HoonDing]

Will get it on next year's Steam summer sale, or the year thereafter.

[Nepenthe]

Meanwhile, I have the edition that comes with the emergency dubstep button preordered, you humorless cheap ****s.

Sadly it won't get to the "Please buy it!" stage SR3 reached, good deal that.

In other news, new Humble Bundle! https://www.humblebundle.com/

 

It's an Origin bundle. All of EA's share is going to charity, 5 games include Steam keys.

 

[Labadal]

That's a good bundle even if I'm not interested in a single game on offer.

[Tale]

I got it just for Dead Space 3. I loved 1, loved 2 until it froze on me. Been meaning to play through it.

[Guest Slinky]

Nice, I was meaning to get Crysis 2 from steam sale when I see one, this one works just as well. Maybe I should someday actually play the first one too.

[Gfted1]

Xbox One launch delayed until 2014 in eight European markets.

[WorstUsernameEver]

Did they say they'd like to do it, or was that just Jay Wilson after he'd already moved to a different project?

Technically Jay Wilson, but I can't imagine him leaving the team would make the auction house any easier to remove.

I have never seen a more fuddled, back and forth run-up to launch for any product. If this glimmering rumor about the PS4 releasing before Halloween is true, Xbox fans in "the rest of Europe" could be waiting up to six months for their "Day One."

Best played with a friend btw, It handled co-op better than even RE5. 

[Humanoid]

That's a good bundle even if I'm not interested in a single game on offer.

Same, 75% shooters, and Sims3 which everyone probably has. Still, happy enough to donate guilt-free even if I got nothing, plus never played a Burnout game before (and technically, also don't have Sims 3:High-end Loft Stuff).

 

Anyone know if Sims 3 disc edition content is compatible with Origin version Sims 3?

[ManifestedISO]

Looks like Origin is down on its knees ... it's no longer accepting key codes (temporarily) and logging in isn't happening.

Haha, good way of bolstering my resolve after the kinect announcement yesterday had it wavering a bit.

Funny you say that but that's why I intend to buy this bunble

[Spider]

I am considering the bundle, but it would only be for Mirror's Edge in that case I think.

 

I am a bit curious though why they'd bundle Dead Spaec 1 and 3, but not 2.

John Lowrie, a voice actor who has worked on several Valve games including DOTA 2, Left 4 Dead, Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2, claims that one of the reasons Half Life 3 isn't out yet is because Valve is waiting for better motion capture technology.

Here is the biggest challenge with bringing out HL3: the big thing now with FPSs is motion capture, or mo-cap. One of the great things about HL2 is that all of the characters that you meet actually look at you when they talk to you no matter where you go or stand. With mo-cap you can't do that, at least not yet. Once you film the actor doing something and capture that motion, that's what the character is going to do. This works great in movies, but when you make something interactive it gets way less interactive with mo-cap. So that's one of the things they're working on. Still nothing definitive, but I hope this helps you understand at least one of the reasons why they haven't brought out HL3 yet.

 

 

 

I don't feel any rage because patience is a virtue that will always be rewarded.

Right Gabe?

 

 

GAAAYYYYYBE???????

I've referenced this before, but William Gibson wrote (in Mona Lisa overdrive, iirc) about how the fabulously wealthy are no longer human. That the daily struggle to exist is such a core part of out existence, that the ultra rich either become inhuman in a hannibal cannibal sense or start developing all sorts of quirks. Often they'll just create problems out of thin air. In personal experience, this also applies to extremely beautiful people, perhaps even more so, because they are used to getting things for FREE instead of just having masses of the commonly accepted currency.

 

Now Valve seems to be proof positive that this effect also applies to companies. With legions of fanboys wanting to throw their money at them and ONLY them, they've had to develop all these odd perfectionist quirks just to have some adversity in their life.

[Mamoulian War]

So if this is true, good luck to get HL3 before apocalypse haha...
