Can't say I know them as well as the others but... I have this feeling they'll be alright on the server...

Would have bought it during Thanksgiving as well if I had not read the system requirements. My five year old machine's not up to snuff to run it. That said I'm sure it's just as much fun as quite a few other titles Regarding back to TF2 Hats... The KF promotional items, That mask better allow paint to be used on it, or if not now eventually!

for it over Metro 2033. Would have liked for it to have been an objective but for an arcade-like experience I'm fine with it. I find it interesting that some would compare it to L4D/L4D2 and I actually disagree. One is having you simply surviving to escape while the other is surviving to clear them out of the city regardless how numerous they are. On a nostalgic note I love how it reuses Counter-Strike's reload animation for the duelies

Cool I may have to try again to see if I get frustrated with the lag or not. aww dood take a look to the problems I see from it.

In regards to /home being taken out for developing issues, fair enough as who knows if it will actually return anyways; especially if the player gets glitched on the world/underground that said player can't escape. Normally I'd say it's dangerous as a game breaking bug where a player can't reset short of deleting all of his/her work... Well... You should be able to guess what happens next. Say that again after doing what could amount to a month's time of playing and then suddenly being forced to erase it all.

How often do regular consumers often buy products that are in their alpha stages though; specifically how often would gamers, before minecraft, have bought games that were in alpha stages...? Playtesters understandably are actually paid to playtest games for quality control and debugging to the best of their ability. You have no good reason to call others idiots when all the complaining towards Minecraft is perfectly justified as it's called criticism. If we didn't complain that would easily give the impression that we, the consumer, are so complacent that dog shit would do just fine in place of digital blocks. To Notch's credit, at least he does listen and is willing to make improvements/updates to fix/build the game to his vision; which hopefully would satisfy or calm down the buyers.

So I haven't been on as of late due to recently finding joy in playing spy seriously for once... Has the server fixed the lag issue or is it still hammering it..?

and pretty much.

On the bright side so no real loss for those of us that paid during alpha. Now to go back to and trying again to...

Penumbra series from the same guys who did Amnesia.

MtG I may consider... $2.50, the price of a key to open a crate, not so bad. Would also be reliving my junior highschool years... Certainly cheaper than buying the actual decks of cards back in the day...

Oh yes I did but I did it for the benefit of the others and I'm quite sure you have seen it so I didn't expect you to see it again

seem like a nice mix of both Tetris and the Hacking mini game from Bioshock. Will most likely try the demo at least if that becomes an objective. Not likely gonna buy the others though...Oh yeah seems to still be on sale; %50 off.

More on the subject of hats Never played Killing Floor and it reminded me of the survival/horde mode on a DOOM II custom WAD.

Speaking of hats... Seen a plague doctor mask before on the polycount forums but I'm guessing it was just for shits and giggles.

The VGGW is dumb if only because it creates generalizations rather than specifics on certain games. When I think SHMUPS I'm thinking Gradius, R-TYPE, Touhou Project and Cho Aniki. I wouldn't lump them with Batman Arkham Asylum, Castlevania: LoS, Bayonetta, and Splatterhouse just because they would all fall in "Action Conflict" games. Also people have tried applying this to music, especially with the different varieties of Metal. Terrible idea as it just muddles everything for everyone searching for specific sound/music/band etc. When I'm trying to find something by Helloween I rather not suddenly get Linkin Park or Nickelback as a result of my searching just because they are better known to the ignorant masses.

Unless I've some how mistaken clay blocks with smooth stone I've been slowly stock piling and accidently picked them up some days way back before the server lag problems I haven't seen it.

It's a respectable whorehouse thank you very much and it has about six furnaces last I checked in the basement for your needs.

For some one that generally leans towards metal, this is not bad at all.

He's trying to reconstruct the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh in measureless days behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There would lay great Creeper and his hordes, hidden in green, slimy, mossy vaults.

So you guys are participating on the TF2 Beta testings as well..?

Abadoss, I don't know whether I should facepalm super hard, wonder if I had ever told you about it, or do both and wait for the probable, eventual explosion from certain parties... Work, real life and Disgaea 2 been keeping me away from the server but I know I haven't been gone THAT long for any one to forget already.
