A decade of waiting for Half Life 3.

The last part is interesting to think about. Check out what was said during the talk Gabe had with Geoff Keighley at GDC 2015 about source 2:

It's to make it possible for thousands of people or billions of people to be all generating this shared entertaining universe. You can look at the properties that we have and probably say oh I would see how having a whole bunch of people extending and annotating and storytelling in this particular universe would make sense. But now that we got Source 2 out now you'll start to see us start to lay out some of the pieces so that we have this really large shared collaborative entertainment space that allows people to be as productive as they want to be in terms of building entertainment value for other people. That's something that we started four years ago. We had these ideas about how you build these large endless entertainment experiences and one of the dependencies was getting a bunch of economy stuff working there's a bunch of tools work to do, those are baked now. Now we are going start capitalizing with with how that actually translates into entertainment experiences for people.

I figure there will eventually just be a Half-Life that is some rolling perpetual thing, much like all the other "service" games they do. Probably a decade away though

 

[Hektor]

Fucking peer pressure

Keyboard and mouse are really a thorne in my eyes. The keyboard's missing one of those flexible stand things on the back, that's why i gotta use some book about conspiracy theorys to do that lol.

The mouse is too 1337gamerdisco.

But then again, both work, that's i have a hard time finally pulling the trigger on new devices.

 

[zkylon]

thats a nice desk

ppl here have nice desks

Because it brings up the options menu.

-___-

The big issue I have with the ds4, outside of its tiny size, is that I always hit the share button when I wanna press select because that function got moved to the new touchpad. It happens every. Single. Time.

not an issue on pc it seems since it just mimics the 360 thingie

i can see this being annoying tho

this made me laugh. oh zky.

The DS4 is perfectly sized. If anyone wants to buy me a couple. PM me.

oh now u say

where were u like a week ago -__-

also dont oh zky me -__-

...Her date bailed out on her.
How the hell do you not figure that out?

uhh i'm not a very smart person

I don't know if this has been posted yet,

Order of Ten Challenge # 9

Solution:

Spoiler

infinite realities

 

[yuraya]

The prize for ED: Horizons was just reduced to £19.99, $29.99, €24.99... so maybe you will get a good deal in the sale...

And the next major update will be released next Thursday (The Engineers 2.1).

But its kinda funny that you think NMS is overhyped, seeing that you seem to like this kind of game

Spoiler

but it is really kinda overhyped, people have some unrealistic expectations regarding this game... but I'm sure I will have lots of fun with it

Not really feeling NMS at all. Seems more of an mindless adventure game and less of a sim.

A decade of waiting for Half Life 3.

Such a great heel turn. Just masterful.

Almost like he has an evil twin or something.

Well Source 2 is meant to be free engine (if i remember correctly xD) and it was years since Source 2 was announced and only Dota 2 is using it. So i really don't know what Valve devs are doing now.

does fc4 get any good
im like a third into the story

 

[zkylon]

i should get a new league mousepad too

like

a big one

 

[rtcn63]

Seriously tho- can anyone recommend a compact desk that doesn't wobble when you type on it? I'd only need enough room to fit a laptop, a mouse, and maybe a textbook.

 

[Tizoc]

Wolf Among us is $5 over at Humblebundle.com

Far Cry 4? Just ride the elephant and kill people with it.

I've had the same computer desk for about 10+ years now

I thought that having the keyboard on an incline is bad for your wrists. They are supposed to be flat, not bent. I believe. The wrists that is.

 

[Last Baron]

Tempted by Styx. Is it better by controller or MKB?

 

[MMBosstones86]

I was going to ask what I missed the past week, but I think I got the jist of it.

SteamGAF going to SteamGAF.

UK GAF: Platinum's TMNT is £14 at Tesco, and is part of their Clubcard boost offer, so you can get it for £7 in Clubcard vouchers.

I strongly approve of your Transistor poster. That is class.

 

[Knurek]

Black Mirror 1-3 for $2.49

Possible pricing error, since separate games are $2.49 each.

 

[r3n4ud]

I hate when a PC game gets ported to console but the devs don't bother putting controller support on the PC version

Shit ya, you and me both :/

Would love controller support for Terraria (also local coop) and Diablo 3.

Mm not sure at all. MSRP differs from steam store, but it's exactly the same as on HB store.

It could be that Nordic hasn't modified MSRP on steam store yet.

 

[pantsattack]

Looks nice and homely but doesn't the chair get very uncomfy?

Not for me. I sit upright or forward so the back doesn't factor, and nothing falls asleep. It must be from a past of cycling.

WTF, Google, are you drunk?

Google to remove Backspace shortcut for navigating webpages in future Chrome versions.

Backspace is so convienent. It's dumb to take it out. The article itself says more people use it than people that lose data, so that goes against their reasoning. I do use mouse 3 all the time now that I have one.
One thing I do all the time that might be odd to others is start the web address on my left hand and when it auto completes I hit numpad Enter with my right thumb to confirm. Tip - if you're creating a website use a word that's fully typeable on your left hand.

Tempted by Styx. Is it better by controller or MKB?

Aww, I got excited. $7.50 is the new $5. Things I'm interested in stay higher than I care to pay.

 

[Nyteshade517]

I've decided that by February-March next year I'll try to build my own PC. I'm hopefully upgrading my graphics card (GTX 1070...maybe) this Summer so I'll already have that done. That will give me time to look into what I'd need and time to find good deals on parts. I know it's not terribly difficult to build one but you have to pay attention to what you're doing.

I don't want to be the next "Twitch guy builds a PC" like last year...lol

This is what I'm looking at parts wise (I'd buy other fans but they aren't on this list)

[Kuroyume]

A decade of waiting for Half Life 3.

It's incredible, when you think about it, just how long he has been doing this. Like almost a decade just to release an extra episode. Had they done that then I guess people would then bug them about an actual third game or continuation of the series, but that's fine. At least H2's story would have been concluded.

 

[Amzin]

For anyone that doesn't have an isthereanydeal watchlist, I've gotten notices for like 7 games on my wishlist that are at record lows on the Humble store today. If you have the monthly bundle subscription going you get 10% off on top of that.

 

[mp1990]

Since we're all posting our setups:

Pretty simple but does its job.

Spoiler

pls don't ask about THAT

You obviously own a PS4, why use the 360 contorller for PC?

 

[Tomasety]

Does anybody know why http://store.steampowered.com/app/407471/ is suddenly on sale?

Assassin's Creed Syndicate - Victorian Legends pack

I meant why one DLC alone on offer.

Don't buy a bluray player unless you already own some disks and no other player. You need to buy software to play blurays too.

 

[uncredited male]

Best controller ATM. An NX version with analog triggers and a way to disable the LED will be perfection.

that's probably one of the things I would have changed anyway...that was just my initial starting point

 

[Lain]

Tempted by Styx. Is it better by controller or MKB?

It plays pretty well on KB/M. Didn't try on controller but I'd guess it'd play just as well.

The placement of the analog sticks is what probably puts some people off.

 

[mp1990]

My PS4 pad analog sticks are already worn out with only 2.5 years of use, I don't want to make it even worse by using it on PC as well >_<

 

[tuxfool]

Still doing desk pictures?

Here is mine. Complete with proof of time.

 

[Volimar]

That's a big case.

 

[Annubis]

That's a big case.

Everything gaffer is bigger than average.

 

[uncredited male]

A disturbingly high number of you appear to eat and drink at your PCs. Gross.

I never have been bothered by this. I actually find it more comfortable to hold than the dualshock after long periods of time. The buttons get more use than the R-stick and my thumb is in a more comfortable position resting on them.

The screen controller on the other hand...

 

[Salsa]

you guys and your gross "oh lets tidy up for pic" desks

why do I always gotta keep it real

 

[Volimar]

HAHA that worn mouse pad. Proof positive of a PC gamer.

A disturbingly high number of you appear to eat and drink at your PCs. Gross.

 

[Hero Prinny]

why do people put their big ass heavy PCs on their table? I ask cause I only ever see people on the internet do this, I don't know a soul (as far as I know) that actually puts their PC on the table, everyone I know puts it on the floor. Seems really annoying having it on the table when that space could be used for something else.

 

[KingKong]

Anyone here play Wings of Vi? It's on sale for 5 bucks on chrono.gg and even though it has very positive reviews, the top reviews are negative and say the game is way too hard?

i eat in bed in front of my computer

Because I open up my PC sometimes or easier to plug in stuff because I have more devices than USB slots.

It's made by the guy who made I Wanna be the Boshy of course it's too hard.

My tower is about 50 pounds. That is like a mini-ATX for GAF.

That is also gross.
