Below is the official video from Valve with all the changes they've made during development, shown in a timelapse. It's pretty straightforward. Otherwise, the map might look a bit more cartoony compared to the original. But the industrial theme rather reminds me of Half-Life 2 and not Team Fortress.

Looks like he used a throwing knife, not a rock :).

No, I was talking about the $20k a year mentioned earlier. And just to be clear, we're talking before or after taxes?

Yikes, I knew it wasn't great, but that really is crap pay. Guess I'm lucky in Europe (and to still have a job in the current state of aviation).

Hmm, must be pretty bad in the US right now. I made $50K+ in my second year FO on a small regional turboprop.

Uggg, this again.... Those movies at 24 frames per second have the frames blurred together to provide perceived smoothness. Games render perfect stills and will look choppy to most people if they are played at 24fps.

When I first played through this level, I looked left, looked right, and then I loudly proclaimed "Go fuck yourself." I got hit by busses, cars and bullets many times before finally making it across. You wouldn't believe how many times I heard Gideon telling me to cross.

And this is why you should always do a trial run in Kerbal Space Program first :-).

I was thinking they might be differences in model year or packages, but browsing around it doesn't seem like that. Maybe they would build you a customized one for more money?

Keep trolling trolling trolling trolling, keep trolling trolling trolling trolling.... :)

No, I've never been in the armed forces. I have a healthy respect for those who are or have been, but I've you'd read the article you'd have noticed that I was quoting the author about the dress blues...

With all due respect to the Ranger, you have to understand that not following company policy can get you fired pretty quickly at any job in an airline. Even if it's for a veteran. And the only people who seem to make a big deal out of it are people other than the Ranger himself... Knee-jerk reaction? Veteran good,…

Wait,

Or you could hit a bird and have it fail after just a couple of hours...

It's still only single engine... I'll take a small chance at engine failure on a multi-engine turboprop over small chance at engine failure on a single-engine turboprop any day :-). Also, it's ugly as hell.

I feel like I should call it Italnyan Cat...

You are on Flight Club... Aircraft kinda involve just a little bit of aerodynamics, including boundary layers and stuff like drag, just like the football. And for some weird reason the National Aeronautics and Space Administration know a thing or two about aerodynamics.

Well, you don't have to. Just come to the Netherlands and bring enough cash to go for a ride on the Cat pictured above.

I know the feeling. That's more the atmosphere of the game though. And I'm just saying better graphics can help creating that atmosphere in these types of games. Take realtime shadows for instance... they meant you might see enemies/monsters/something approaching from around a corner because he/she/it is casting a…

Graphics can help with immersion. Has always been that way. Even if reflections or certain lighting situations don't match up to reality or add anything to gameplay, they can add to the overall impact or atmospehere the game has. The trick is to find a balance between graphics and gameplay. Crysis has always lacked…
