All this talk about Half Life when StarCraft is CLEARLY the best game ever.  Period.

That's like, two periods.  

YEAH!

Apples to oranges man.

 

But yes Starcraft is groundbreakingly, electrifingly, mind-blowingly good.

Dude, comparing an RTS with a FPS is like comparing Fluttershy and Garrus :/

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

I meant compared to Half-Life 2. Even so it's a very close race. Episode 2 was awesome.

 

And Xen. Oh god xen. The giant mother headcrab before Nihilanth, I had to use cheats she was so hard to beat.

Half Life 2 is also a good game, thoguh i've heard that the episodes are better (i've never played them). way too many hitscanners everywhere, but it's a much more enjoyable romp than Half Life is.

 

you mean the Gonarch? it isn't actually that hard to beat, imo. predictable melee attacks and projectiles. the most annoying thing about it is that it keeps spawning baby headcrabs. FUCK THOSE THINGS WITH AN IRON POLE.

 

also, the worst thing about Xen is when you have to use jumppads to piggyback on alien ships. WORST EXAMPLE OF FPS DESIGN EVER.

Jump pads are fun.

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

Jump pads are fun.

not when they launch you 50 metres from the ground if you jump at the wrong time, while at the same time trying to land on an alien ship that floats around in the air.

Eh, that's what quicksave is for.

 

 

 

And what's with the members putting navels on their avatars and turning cute ponies into alien babies?

having to quicksave frequently to get past a part of the game like so is not good game-design. it only serves to frustrate and give the illusion of longer play-time.

i'm just pointing out flaws in the game that could have been improved upon to make the game better.

All old games have flaws. New games seem to have less.

ancient software and hardware tend to have more bugs. they get ironed out as time goes by and technology improves.

though, from what i've heard, new games aren't that flawless, what with the poorly optimized console-to-PC ports, games at full-price on retail, with massive amounts of bugs they iron out in patches that sometimes they have the courtesy to charge you with to update, games with sneaky micro-transitions... not same types of flaws as in Half Life but still flaws nonetheless.

 

and now i will have to go sleep. goodnight.

Does that guy not go outside?  His skin is (inb4 racist) white as F***.

Not on ponies. They just seem so out of place on them.

It's grayscale. His skin in the monitor is normal

Ponies are mammals, they have navels albeit a subtle one :V

 wish I actually knew Japanese. Would be fun to learn. Should take it when I go to college...

 

Having done a tiny bit of Japanese study on my own (using a hand picked selection of  language learning software, videos, tutorials, and flash card software), I have to say that it really is kind of fun to learn. I found the syntax and such to be very interesting, but ended up losing motivation as my interest in things like anime started to wane a bit.

 

Still, I can recommend it.
