HAPPY B-DAY VALVE!!!!
More evidence that TF2 needs deathball
I read that, blinked, then came.
I think Patrick mentioned it. He was talking about party hats and how they made the birthday update go live early or something.
Who’s Patrick?
I am you dolt!
Yerp I did, Patrick creeps inside TF2 and makes it feel violated for all you listeners ;)
Useless but kind of nice (not unlike certain Emanuels) :V

Valve is going to take over Minecraft and port it to Source
He mentioned it on Twitter sometime last week and William mentioned it briefly during yesterday’s recording. Also, Dan Pinchbeck went to visit Valve.
Something, something, fingers in pies, something, yay, something, <3 Valve.

“1-4-9″, a new L4D1 campaign apparently set in the desert suburbs, also located nearby an alien tomb.
I’m downloading right now, been looking forward to this for a long time.
You can find the download link in the developer’s original post, along with media and more info.

Oh lawdy yes yes YES!

I expected a minecraft mod. I am disappoint.
Valve just sent out some new Portal 2 shots from Gamescom. I’ll add them to the agenda once somewhere posts them.
Hl2.net posted it, but without the 6 infographics (same as from the footage) for lazers, etc. that were also uploaded today. Close enough.
If you look closely in the bottom-left of one screenshot … inside one of th tubes, you can see a turret that has been packed in a box, as though they were being sold. WTF. I will link the exact screenshot soon.
There are a couple dotted around the other pipes too. http://www.halflife2.net/news_images/201008/1282588077_sp_sabotage_darkness0196.jpg
Valve released a HD version of the GamesCom footage earlier today and one of the items on a blue screen connected to the pipes is “Boxed Turret – Shipping Product”. It could be that they ship them to smaller facilities, but the packaging would probably be plain white instead of like a washing machine if that were the case. Maybe they’re going to link it to merchandise somehow?
I’ve never had the desire to buy one of those tacky room protectors with a movement sensor and a bunch of audio clips, but if one of those were made of a Portal turret and had decent build quality then I would want it. Especially if its arms followed you and it had the blinking laser of the broken turrets.
They sell them retail, as babysitters.
Oh yeah, the ARG image with the turret in a child’s room. I forgot about that.

Huge news
yup.
I just saw the new portal video and OMG… Wheatleys voice is soooo AVERAGE and MEH.
>_>
Hearing it just makes me picture some average brit guy in a studio with headphones on. It totally kills the immersion for me. They should at least put some effects or processing on it like the turrets or glados.
The old Wheatly was so much cuter and better acted :(

People who were once PC gamers, switched to console and have now come back to PC. And why they came back to PC.

Thats a funny thread.
Im born a hardcore pc gamer and took a 3 year hiatus to play 360 and ended up coming back to the pc similar to the OP.

Poll Question 187: Should games or mods use famous voice actors?
http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/poll-question-187/
Yes, Morgan Freeman to be specific.
Neeeed his voice acting.
i love that video
Bill Cosby for Eli Vance would have been pretty amazing
