Hi, my name is Half-Life 2. Here is what I looked like when I was an incomplete mess:

You need creativity.

Even though I can't participate due to having to go to work tomorrow, I still want your Steam ID.

So, who is up for some L4D survival this weekend?

Discussion Idea:

How often do you keep your drivers updated? Do you do it when it's just released? Do you have update utilities that inform you of new updates? Do you do beta drivers for testing?

SlipperyMooseCakes, there is really no other reason for you to be posting in here.

The only thing I see is just a potentially subtle troll in this thread.

You probably will soon.

If there is a Crysis 2 that comes out for the 360/PS3, it will probably look uglier than the PC version.

Left 4 Dead was basically running with everything set at "low" on the 360.

Uhh, Valve games aren't that pretty or demanding to begin with.

But somehow The Orange Box and Left 4 Dead can only get 15-30 FPS with the texture quality at low, while my computer can get just them to run at a smooth 60 FPS with everything at the highest settings. Why is that?

Oh yeah, the Xbox 360 has shit hardware.

Anyone know how to take screen shots in Crysis? Print screen just results in an all black windowed application for me.

And for my sake, I am not going to add you under any circumstance.

It has something to do with how consumers want their products physically smaller. So that means everything has to be smaller, the case, PCB, etc. So what happens when something gets smaller? Something has to give, and with the 360, that time was stability.

Other times, rushed production results in lousy performance overall, and probably shortened testing.

And just to note, all the computer parts made back then were weaker compared to modern day chips, so failures caused to overheating will me much more common with products made today compared to products of yesteryear.

Holy fuck this thread is moving slowly.

Not a good sign.

Well, at least the news media can't go after it for "immorality issues."

Eventually I'll go lurking and try to compile a list of everyone's Usernames. I actually haven't used Steam in a long time, I might have to make a new User for it coincidentally.

Can't you just recover your account info?

Just to throw this out there, my Steam ID is SniperWolfNG. Try to post yours if there is a user here that is not in the Newgrounds Steam group.

The community is like the CS 1.6 community. The only people that play it are the people that have played from the start, and are very good at it.

Why do I have the feeling that the reasoning behind the player playing as a Big Daddy, with the ability to use both a weapon and a plasmid at the same time was because 2K acknowledged that the people who hated the game were the ADD infected freaks who thought the game was too hard?

That happened with my 360's disk drive at one point, but then it failed out right.

So I had to eat a $90 repair cost.

Since Battlefield Bad Company 2 is to have a PC version, I am really looking forward to buying it, since Battlefield was essentially started on a PC, and FPS feels much better with a mouse and keyboard.

I heard Valve worked their magic and got it in for free downloading, but this was news from a while ago; perhaps it has changed.

Valve is really nice with it's support and care for the community. TF2 gets a lot of free stuff (PC only,) and I guess it works from a marketing standpoint.

Oh, and I love how with the PC version of L4D, I can just start the game, wait for the update, and go straight into survival, whilst the 360 version requires me to manually download the mode.

Thanks Microsoft, you guys suck.

A lot of that 5GB will be textures, audio, and the game engine, which will be memory costs that are used throughout the gameplay. So it won't be *disastrous*, I wouldn't think.

I wouldn't think that Square would uncompress everything for just a demo. People would be pissed if they noticed the sudden drop in quality between the demo and retail versions.

So, uh, the demo is 5 GB in size. That's a little more than a standard DVD carries, so, either the 360 version is going to be compressed to hell, or this might happen:

$250 is something I would spend on a high quality computer monitor. Not something like this.

Unplug everything, press and hold the power button for 30-60 seconds, then plug everything back in.

And that's really it. Otherwise, you are shit out of luck.

I like how SEGA ommitted the Japaneese army.

Don't forget the sequel.

This game actually comes with a Mic stand?

Bullshit. It rewards players for playing the game.

By giving unnecessary advantages over already unbalanced weapons. People usually do things like 3x Frags, Stopping Power or Juggernaut, and Martyrdom.

4.Your HP goes back up over time.....What the fuck? Apparently WWI Troops had fucking halo suits on.

So? It makes the game much better and creates a larger amount of skill into the game.

Skill? Last I checked, having 5/100 points of health left with absolutely no health regeneration whilst still on a major killing spree is skill. That health regeneration just promotes sitting in a corner while sucking your thumb waiting for your health to regenerate/person to walk by (not saying it doesn't happen in games like Counter Strike, of course.)

I never even knew anyone who thought the campaign in Call of Duty 3 was good.
