For those people who're feeling demoralized, don't think of it as getting a game to unlock early. Think of it as an opportunity to make gaming history, by slaying the demon known as Valve Time.

That's because 30 hours passed. In the little window under the timer it says this:

My vote would probably go to Turn Based Strategy by a narrow margin.

The part that had me the most excited was improved bot support, especially for Spy bots and Payload maps.

For a graphic design firm, their website looks... what's a nice way of saying terrible?

Especially the built in storage, I demand Sega Saturn on the VC!

Final Fantasy VI? That's not how you spell Final Fantasy #1. ;)

Los Angeles Convention Center.

I still like Whataburger the best in terms of regional burger joints. Nothing beats being able to order a fresh made to order burger at 4AM in the morning.

It sure would have been nice if Sega nipped them in the bud 8 years ago when it started instead of waiting until after all that hard work was done.

Truth be told, I only bought the potato sack for the hat (the games were a nice extra). This whole ARG business has been one wild ride, though, and hopefully there's more surprises in store for the non Portal people.

, dammit.

I'm in Amarillo, and I've never heard of this. Then again, I've always been more of a root beer guy. In any case, I'm headed for the Dallas/Fortworth area later this month to visit Cisco, I might try to swing by Dublin if I can convince my friends.

Honestly, I'm starting to get the same feeling from discs now. The past 4 years I've done the bulk of my gaming through digital distribution, so now CD's and DVD's are nostalgic, and cartridges and floppies feel like precious artifacts.

The sooner we get new consoles, the sooner I'll have a benchmark for a new PC. C'mon guys, at least let me know you're working on something.

It's usually the bees that get me.

I can't see Isaac with a kitten on his head without thinking that he's going to immediately rip it off and curb stomp it out of habit.

I was under the impression that Epic Mickey was hyped because it was using classic Mickey Mouse and other old Disney characters. At least, that was the feeling I got from most people.

Legally I have to post this anytime NMA is mentioned.

That list shows a lot of well received exclusives, I don't think it's doing much to support your argument.
