The Black Culture Thread |OT4| Learn to love the BBC

Look at it like basketball jerseys...

When a black guy wears it, he's probably heavily into 'urban culture' and maybe in a gang

When a white guy wears it, he's a fan

Fucking eloquently put.

I finally figured out why the Reps are going so hard, other than hating blacks and poor people. They don't want Obama to have a legacy.

Fucking this right here.

You underestimate the stupidity of the average American citizen.

Nah not that I just hope that people would be better. And as usual I'm sorely and humorously disappointed.

And tomorrow will be the end of an era.

I'm selling my first car. My 95 Honda Civic DX.

Ya'll are too strong with the hate. Half-Life games are great. Half Life 2 and its subsequent episodes made me physically sick due to motion sickness, causing an awful headache and nausea, and they're still some of my favorite games of all time.

I beat Half Life 2 on the original Xbox (what a strange one-off port) without my stick scheme (Legacy)

It was fun, but I have no urge to replay it

The Half Life series damn near created the numbers a lot of these shooters are painted by. Yall be smoking that good shit.

I'm in the same boat. That change in FOV crushed my spirits, but I weathered the storm.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Half-Life 1 & 2 deserve respect. HL3? Count me in the corner of being sick of the dumb conspiracies and rumors. I'm out until we hear something real.

Alex does come off as crazy when you think about it. Dude doesn't say a word and never changes clothes and she is ready to bend over.

Give me Starcraft: Ghost. Oni 2. System Shock 3.

HL3 doesn't get me hype like it should.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".

I take back almost every bad thing I've ever thought about you, for this post alone.

Plz. Plenty of people on this very site rank them crazy high. Check the receipts bruh.

If you want to go there, nobody says shit about Unreal singleplayer either. So....

Theres your point. Same people that claim to be atheist but ready to be touched by the priest of the church of Steam.

don't tell me you're stannin that shit.

I just remember that game having one of the worst endings I've ever seen. That and past the first 3 levels, the game becomes boring as fuck.

I rather eat sugar grits then do that Airboat sequence again.

While we throwing shades. Gravity looks like the first 35 minutes of great FX, and then an hour of boring bullshit.
 

Jackben

bitch I'm taking calls.
Its pretty much universally agreed that the airboat level sucks because of the controls.

Also I'm not going to defend the plot in regards to "Freeman = STEM nerd who gets girl" because I don't care about those aspects and those aren't what makes the games great. But it was a good jab, I give you that Satch.

It's all the secrets and intricacies of both half life games as far as the in-universe canon goes that I really enjoyed. But yeah if you don't like dystopian future science fiction then it probably isn't the plot for you.

But the gameplay absolutely was a game changer for the times not only in terms of how well executed the platforming and puzzle elements were implemented into a first person shooter but also (most notably in half life 2) one of the first and most jaw-dropping physics based design in the game engine that really created an immersive feel.

Maybe a lot of the present day hype can boil down to "nerd sci-fi nostalgia" but I'll always respect the elements that continue to impress me to this day when I replay the games and the multitude of mods that continue to give the original and sequel new life.
