(sigh) This forum has so changed ...

Okay, people, there are facts and there are preferences. We're talking about a preference. Personally, I like the "electronic" music/effects in hl, and I like that you can get very creative with that because you can make any kind of sound you want (even orchestral sounds). However, I...

Wow, I wonder why philosophers argue about this stuff when they could just ask you? :P

Ditto...

I don't see where anywhere that it says whether this hack occurred the same day or when Valve became aware of it. By "pulling a Sony", I assume you mean sitting on knowledge of the hack for a while without alerting anyone. It's possible that happened here, but I've seen no proof one way or the...

Brilliant!

Looking at the file names, nothing in there necessarily implies "outer space" to me except "nebula". Remember ep3 is expected to have a (ocean going) ship, and a helicopter ride (maybe explains "flightplan"). I'm sure ep3 could have a "nebula" in it without putting you in a spaceship...

sob meaning Given that the other files have "func" as the second part of the filename, I'm thinking it might be a programming term, like "static object" or something.

So does this mean I can finally get something for all my tf2 crates?

I think it's "martial arts", unless it has something to do with an artist named Marshall.

My first thought ... well, okay my first thought was that I have friends I've been trying to get into this game and this may finally persuade them to try it. But my SECOND thought was, "the n00bs! Oh, the pwnage! I can't wait!" Don't judge me.

You probably would be lost, but it's still a lot of fun. I've pretty much played it constantly since it first came out, but I have taken "breaks", and coming back after an update can lead to some "what the heck was that" moments when you encounter an opponent with a new weapon or item (like...

Nothing against Valve, they had a great idea on how to tap into the community's generosity, but this idea cost them little. I suppose they invested some time in designing the hats, and probably some of the proceeds might otherwise have been spent on other Valve products, but I think (and I'm...
