Dunno if Paypal works with Visa Electron. It doesn't work with Finnish banks, at least. Good idea, though. I'll give it a try.

Yay, after the currencychanges, I can't buy anything on Steam at all. Using a Visa Electron used to work fine, but no more. Kind of a bummer...

No, that wouldn't work at all, since if you're buying something in your own currency there are no taxes included, which would make games on Steam way cheaper for Europeans. Example: Far Cry 2 is 55$, which is about 41 euro. Pretty nice price, right? Without VAT, it would be, but after VAT the...

Krynn, that benchmark does give me some hope that I'll be able to run this game. By no means do I have a slouch of a system, with a Phenom 9750(Quad Core 2.4GHz, so probably comparatively powerful), 4 gigs of DDR2, and a HD4850. So I'm hoping for it to work smoothly(enough). I've still got...

Well, it IS Firearms. How can you not be aroused? Seriously though, this is looking great, I've been looking forward to a Firearms mod for HL2 for a long time. Of course, as someone correctly pointed out, this doesn't have to be released for a long long time...

Quite probably the most awesome thing I've ever witnessed in my life.

Pre HL2 doesn't mean pre-Combine or pre-Breen.

You wouldn't? It's definately the most polished, with the most unique features not ripped straight out of HL2 itself. I was about to make a semi-negative post about the game, because I'd tried it but not really felt anything for it. But instead I went back for another game, and I'm seeing more...

Well, actually, if you think about it, the relative decrease in development time is still there. Other developers take 2 years to make a full game, and six months to make an episode. Valve takes 8 years to make a game, but only two years to make an episode. It's awesome.

Sounds awesome. Can't wait. When's it out? Next year, sometime, I reckon...

Remember this isn't a Valve game, so making jokes about its estimated releasedate, not quite so funny...

That actually sounds cool, but I'm getting the feeling that this is something bigger. Judging from what Shawn said in the 1Up Show, this is something huge. Huge as in "exploding people's heads because they can't understand it". Or something. I realize it's not the public opinion, but I feel...

That guy was bunnyjumping... I may just be seeing this through the rosy red goggles of nostalgia, but I remember a slowerpaced, more deliberate game. Maybe something where you needed to be still, even crouch, to hit something? I dunno, either way it looks really cool, especially the fact that...

Yeah, IR stands for Infra Red, which is light, we just can't see it. As for the other stuff, I said "remotes", as in more than one. There's a video at Gamevideos where they use two remote controls instead of the sensorbar. I'm not sure about the candles stuff, it sounds iffy, but apparently...

A common misconception is that people think the sensor bar sends information to the Wii. It doesn't. It's just there to emit light, which the remote needs to work. It is the remote that sends information to the console(or PC, if you can make it work). You can just as well use two candles...
