I'm cautiously optimistic, but only because Fallout 3 burned out all my un-cautious optimism.

@ImmaLion: A menu that could possibly charge the user money should never default to the 'charge me' option, the user should always have to select it manually to prevent accidental purchases.

I wouldn't call $40 a 'large' purchase (and I'm a poor college student, so that's saying something)

@acidrain69: I've used this analogy already, but saying this competes with eReaders just because it offers the same functionality plus some extra for a little bit more, is like saying a gaming laptop is competitive with a netbook, because you can do everything with the gaming laptop you could with a laptop...

@Dethzilla: It didn't just 'shit on every eReader'.

If the iTab is really going up against eReaders, it's going to fail.

I think there's room for both. It's two different styles of game story design, neither is inherently better than the other, each side has it's triumphs and failures.

the photographer needs better lighting equipment, those night shot girls all look like deer caught in headlights.

There are more problems than this however!

They didn't blur out his face...

I think it takes at least ten years to become a duke nukem forever, none of these have quite made it yet.

"reuniting the lead characters from the first game, but putting them in a more serious situation. "

@phor11: this is why I game on PC :D

@blaab: at this point, I think it's best we just declare it 'Best Game of All Time' and never have to mess with this 'best game of the year' crap ever again.

luckily, it seems Black Mesa Source is probably on track for a release /this/ year (after several months of telling us it was definitely going to be released /last/ year, so...)

@Purple Dave: sorry, twenty hundreds of pennies.

@Purple Dave: until ten years ago, most people thought there was a year zero anyway. Adding one wouldn't be all that hard, it was more than two thousand years ago.

@Purple Dave: millennium would be defined by thousands digit in the year, and Century by the digit in the hundreds place, and decade by the digit int he tens place. Just like what year it actually is is defined by the digit in the ones place.

@Purple Dave: just because we subscribe to a date system which mostly follows the rules laid forth by the Gregorian calender, doesn't mean that anybody cares what the rules behind the Gregorian calender actually are.

@RawrSpoon: yes, but is any louder?
