Technically you got the best version of the game, so there's that.

On consoles, maybe... *sneakily runs away carrying his gaming laptop*

I seriously think that you misread my intentions. I did not mean that everybody should celebrate the holiday, but that the people who do choose to celebrate it should at least mean it and do it for the "right" reasons.

Oh well birthdays actually have a purpose to them, a historical one at that. Someone becoming a year older is an event that you are celebrating. Likewise, many holidays are anniversaries of popular events or days that are dedicated to celebrating specific times and ideals. Birthdays are some of the few types of…

What I mean is that you (and by "you" I mean "we" as a human race) shouldn't have to dedicate a specific day of the year to something like that without some kind of historical reason, you know? If I wanted to give a gift to a friend, I shouldn't have to wait until a day where they expect a gift. Christmas, to me and…

Not to sound like I'm telling you how to live your life or anything, but I have the extremely unpopular opinion that people shouldn't really celebrate things that they have no reason to. Like, I don't celebrate Mother's or Father's day because I refuse to believe that a disproportionate amount of thanks to my loving…

I'm really, really sorry that you have to deal with so many stupid, ignorant replies here. Who cares when Christmas is? Who cares what holidays it's similar to? Fact is, it's a Christian holiday now and I have no idea how it's such a terrible thing to suggest that people celebrate it the way the holiday was meant to…

I mean, well, it's a fun and engaging game, but there's just a lot of bugs. For example, I got stuck in a structure once or twice, pistol sniping is in full effect if you want to exploit it (nearly everything dies in a couple shots at most), and a boss later in the game on the alien world of Xen never triggered a…

Have fun! I hope you like them. I haven't played a Valve game I haven't liked but you should know that, while Half-Life got numerous GOTY awards, it's a pretty archaic experience compared to modern shooters. If you can get past that and the occasional glitch (it's pretty buggy, too, still) then HL2 will be waiting…

It just blows my mind how The Orange Box was a full-priced game collection years ago in 2007, but today you can have every single game Valve has published for $20. I love PC gaming sales.

I wonder when more people will start using something like APNG or similar, what with it being an open standard and all that's significantly more flexible.

Actually yeah. The thing about Nintendo's devices is that they're competing with themselves. They target a different area of the market instead of trying to be miniature PCs in everything but name with a bunch of lockdown thrown on top of that. Wii, Wii U, 3DS, and even to an extent Sony's Vita are all great platforms…

You know, since the first three games in the series (that's ending with Tactics, I mean) were PC-only, it wouldn't be too weird of a move to go all the way back.

The flower thing has actually been standard for a while now and it has worked with any standard pc controller. Try it yourself with an Xbox controller at home to see what I mean. Allegedly, once you get used to it, it's pretty efficient, not unlike T9 on phones.

Are you sure that, for controller mode, you were making right inputs? Last I heard the face buttons weren't actually mapped to corresponding Xbox buttons. Rather, the buttons may be emulated on the right touch pad.

And this is a completely different kind of controller. This is actually supposedly very comfortable since the way you use your thumbs is different. Valve explained why it's like that a while back actually but I can't get a link for you right now, sorry.

I feel like it had more to do with modern filming techniques and CG than anything else to be honest. It's like those reviews of Resident Evil 4 HD. It's just an upscaling of older tech and it makes the game look worse by comparison by showing you all of the details that were previously obscured by filters and the low…

Which is why I loved The Hobbit in HFR 3D. The picture was so amazingly smooth and lifelike because there was less motion blur due to the cameras having a faster recording speed. It even shows a bit in the 24fps version of the film. Sure, it made the difference between the real shots and the CG a little bigger than a…

I googled it just for fun and I found this little gem on iTunes:

Considering I feel and have felt the same sky the original two games for a long while now, is infinite at least any better? BioShock 2 was definitely better than the first in a few areas, but more in a Super Mario Galaxy 2 way than a full blown sequel kind of way. Infinite looks like a much more substantial change,…
