A lot of them probably aren’t doing it to be watching to make sure you do it right, but rather out of curiosity. Myself, I’d rather watch some guy replace the brakes on a car (even one that isn’t mine) than sit and read People, or watch CNN.

“That’s what mods are all about.”

Proud, really? This whole things has just reminded me that the gaming community as a whole is one of the most selfish and vitriolic communities on the web. Ask them to pay for content and they resort to harassment and death threats.

cool - this sends a nice clear message from gamers who just play things to gamers who are so passionate about their hobby they gain a level of professionalism at something related even at the expense of their health, well-being, free time and fiscal sanity.

Obviously, as the article states, this is poorly executed. If Valve is going to allocate resources to this, there needs to be some sort of vetting process to it.

Here’s what I don’t get:

Why not? Is the time the devs put in to make the unofficial patch somehow worth less than a regular modder?

Modders should get paid for their time and effort.

Rule #1: You don’t want to know how your sausage is made.

What would you eat for breakfast every day if you were ridiculously wealthy and could eat anything in the world?

ROTJ is the best film IF you fast forward past that cringeworthy mucical number in Jabba’s palace....That is literally the only change to the Star Wars blu-rays that I cannot stand. most of them are great changes, I can even deal with the NO at the end of Jedi but god damn that musical number makes me want to stab my…

MISSSINGNO

Half the time when you are doing nothing, you crit your enemy.

I guess it falls upon me to write a musical parody about how all musical parodies about how all pop songs sound the same sound the same.

YOU'RE ON CNN! THE SHOW THAT LEADS INTO MINE IS PUPPETS MAKING CRANK PHONE CALLS! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????

Coincidentally, I don't think you know what coincidentally means.

"For me, it was about a better match-up."

Well, let's point out here that they didn't actually fight demonic hellspawn, they just checked to see if you could move with all that junk on. Realistically, even a roided out super human would have trouble carrying all that and fighting effectively. So I'd say those two cancel out, more or less.

Ummmm...hello?

I was gonna go into this whole thing about how even the most backwater planets on the Outer Rim had detailed bookkeeping on stuff like births/deaths, but then I remembered that was just in the EU and that's not canon anymore and now I'm just sitting in a pile of Rogue Squadron comics drinking and crying.
