The text images are completely useless, just a fyi. Q&A fed with clever questions will prevent all bot spamming, only human spammers will stand a chance.

I imagine a distant future where there are only machines around and no humans to supervise them, their AI has no long term goal, only to be productive; build, learn. Maybe a few humans are stored in cryotubes in an attempt to prevent the race's complete extinction. They are defrosted one day and they will look upon what machines can do for thousands or even millions of years; megastructures all around that dwarf the HL2 citadel. Endless, inconsistent series of rooms and hallways constructed with all sorts of materials, contained inside equally inconsistently built buildings.

Speaking of lack of progress, some nutjob priest in the US burned Islam's holy book and Muslim(?) extremists killed 30 people and injured over a hundred as a response, many of them being people from the United Nations on a mission to help out.

What are people hoping to accomplish with violence and childish provoking? Certainly not solving problems or reaching peaceful agreements (to disagree).

13 years later and people are still butchering the Freeman's first name.

Shodan for example. She was trully evil and GlaDos was simply insane. I like them both.

SHODAN actually lost her "mind" as well. It was said in the System Shock 2 intro.

But what makes it awesome is that it becomes compatible with organic matter that way.

I don't think mass manipulation is a matter of compatibility, organisms are made of molecules just like crates, barrels, etc. The only reason you can not grab smaller enemies with the "orange" gravity gun is due to gameplay reasons; that ability would vastly overpower it. The supercharged gravity gun is a nifty idea that gives people a chance to do exactly what they dreamt about ever since first getting the weapon.

That's a good idea, you'd suffocate. Quality takes time.

I am 99% sure it will. They recently updated their front page with some media, and the soundtrack went gold last month. The developers plan to release the soundtrack a few weeks before the mod itself.

You don't throw away 6 years of hard work, together the team has spent thousands upon thousands of hours working on it.

If you said that over at the BM forums you would get permabanned before you could finish saying the word vapourware.

Ross said in one news item that he may possibly switch over to BM if it will be released by the time he reaches the KO part of the game (where you get knocked out and lose all your guns).

Playing invasion matches in UT2004 with the Ballistic Weapons mod.

And HLS is still a classic anyway, more classic

There is no such thing as more or less classic, either something is classic or it is not. HalfLife: Source is not a classic, the original game is, which Ross is not using for the FM series. HalfLife: Source will always be the mediocre done-quick upgrade job to the classic game, especially when we will have BM to compare it to.

Creating facts from thin air or several years old videos and using unfunny internet memes is not going to magically make you credible, why not just say that you prefer the classic look of the game world over what you have seen of BM's re-imagination in recent media? That is actually a valid point and I'm sure you are not the only one who feels that way. I for one don't care either way, I will watch FM whether it switches to BM or continues in HL:S, both games interest me.

And you can breathe normally for now, there is no sign of BM's release yet while Ross is getting very close to the KO part of the game.

This is because the style of the normal HL source is much better [...] and changing it into a crappy new source with unmemorable and crappy sounds

Until you have actually played Black Mesa this is just pulling facts out of your butt.

The more classic, the better.

Presenting this opinion as a fact is alarmingly ignorant, especially considering Ross has never played through classic HalfLife while recording FM, there is nothing "classic" about HalfLife: Source.

And I would like to remind/inform you that Black Mesa dropped the Source name a good while ago due to a complaint from Valve. You do not seem to understand the 'Source' naming scheme in general.

Be quiet, Grave.

I thought the blue one was just "supercharged", judging by that whole display of the gravity gun sucking in some energy before you can pick it up.

Only 5 days to the next weekend.

Ditto.

Hey! You're not the Koach, you're just a sequel!

How many times have I voted on this poll? Oh well, votes cast.

Welcome to the accursed farms. Don't let the bloody scarecrow with the red glowing eyes scare you, or the echoing laughs of a dozen children.

I miss the 80s and its extended mixes.

Bi-sexuals are lucky in a way, they have roughly twice more options when looking for a partner.

Yeah. I wonder why people in general didn't like the series, I thought the episodes were well constructed and well acted.

Oh dear.

I liked the Star Trek Elite Force games quite a bit, Elite Force 2 even got a second runthrough. But all the timed sequences really got on my nerves.

By the way, did any one here besides me like the Enterprise TV series? I particularly liked seasons two and three, the Borg episode in particular (season two) was very memorable for me.
