Every time a steam sale comes along, I cross my fingers hoping that Half Life 3 will randomly pop up as a daily deal (not even as the featured deal of the day, just one of the secondary deals) so I can watch the internet explode. Wouldn't that be an awesome way to announce the game?

One thing that Valve has done well over the years (L4D2 not withstanding) is combining new features with old properties. For example, in HL2 Valve did a lot of unique things with physics based puzzles. The way they incorporated the puzzles into the fps genre was very innovative for the time, and it paved the way for…

I just started playing Breath of Death a couple days ago. This is great news.

Thanks.

Double Post - Don't know what happened here.

If you find a good one that you like, please come back to this post and give me your recommendation. It's been so long since I was in the market for one that I don't even know what to look for. I start with the ones that you recommend and try to read up on the reviews out there. I'd like to get one before I…

The game can't come soon enough for me. Any suggestions for a good flight stick? I haven't used one since my Mechwarrior 2 days, but it just seems wrong to play a game like Star Citizen without one.

I'm very familiar with Star Citizen. In fact, I'm a backer and can't wait for the game to come out. I'm not sure what part of my comment conflicts with what Cloud Imperium is doing with Star Citizen.

You see a lot of indie space games for the same reason you saw a lot of space games in the 90s and 2000s. They are relatively easy to make because they require fewer art assets and computational power while still being able to make a good looking game with deep mechanics. Indie studios don't have hundreds of…

This game's combat looks kind of "wonky" as well though. At 0:38, the player runs right up to an enemy with a whip and kind of just stands there while he is attacked. there is no reaction from the players hands and it looks a little awkward. The animation just seems way off for some reason. The spell effects on…

There is a pretty cool documentary on Kawloon available on Youtube. Here is part 1:

Thanks. I'll check out Savage Worlds as you recommended. I never really noticed the inconsistencies between the core rules and settings books in GURPS because I generally didn't use the settings books. Both me and the other person in my group that would run games would usually build our own worlds from scratch for…

I'm curious as to what you found so awful about GURPS. I've played a number of other systems including D&D, Riddle of Steel, Traveler, and World of Darkness and found that each system had strengths and weaknesses. GURPS, however, became the system of choice for my group because it had good flexibility and was fairly…

That is understandable. I didn't spend much time reading the comments in previous stories, so if they decided not to post salaries to reduce angry comments, that at least makes some sense. I don't agree with it if that was the editor's reasoning - people are never going to get an understanding of varying costs of…

I highly recommend saving up the money to travel to Japan and visit Disney Sea some day. I've been to all of the Disney theme parks except for Hong Kong and Disney Sea is by far my favorite. The attention to artistic detail is a step above the other Disney theme parks (especially the Jules Verne themed area of the…

Exactly. Spending 28% of one's money on rent in NYC could be very frugal or quite extravagant depending on whether their annual income is 60k or 300k. Without information about the salaries of these people, seeing how they allocate their money in percentage terms doesn't really provide much insight.

Just requested to add you as a friend in steam. Accept the friend request and I'll initiate a steam chat to give you the game.

steam name?

Shame. Its a great game, but probably wouldn't be much fun if you were feeling vertigo during the experience. Maybe Mirror's Edge 2 will be better.

Have you tried ginger pills or other remedies for car sickness? My wife gets motion sickness from 3d games, but these help her some.
