Just watched this on FirstShowing and hated it, personally. Looks like a mess, and reminds me of that god awful movie 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'.

Also, Zack Snyder.. no thanks. 300 is a trashy movie and Dawn of the Dead is instant fail being a typical zombie movie and all.

in Episode 3 Concept Art Post #252526
If Valve know what's good for the Half-Life series I hope they never give us the portal gun.

I still think Aperture had their own Anti-Mass Spectrometer or equivalent portal tech onboard the Borealis. I'd say the Combine want whatever it is to reconnect with their homeworld, and Kleiner probably wants it to force them out or contact the rest of the Vortigaunts.

A trip to the Combine homeworld would be ace.

I remember back than when the first place winner won he got to choose three options for the next comp.
That hasn't changed, this was the first duel-engine compo judged seperately however, so things will be a little different.
I think there should be more than one judge.
There typically is two judges. This one time Pb was left with the job because of some unfortunate timing.

There is/was a new judging system in the works that allowed mods to nominate trusted users to judge, something I should follow up on.

You really need to drop this, zeeba-G. Penguinboy could have and really should have written those reviews far more constructively, but that doesn't change the fact that he felt the the 3 other entries deserved to win more than yours.

Here's a question for you now, do you think that because YOU deserved to win, the other three people didn't?

Tosse clearly doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

DRM is a scourge that completely goes against the term 'Personal Computer'.

New operating systems should NOT destroy the ability to play older games. They're supposed to GAIN compatibility, not lose it.

Also, calling Pb's computer slow and in need of new hardware is hilarious when he's running on a top end DX10 card and 4 gigs of ram.

Man I hope so.

They really upped the ante between Episode One and Two, but now there's only so much they can improve upon it without having to add a lot more content, too. So new enemies and possibly a new weapon or two are kind of a necessity, imo.

I just hope they don't bring the portal gun into the mix.
Same, it would totally destroy the game.

I personally think there's a device on board similiar to the Anti-Mass Spectrometre, Apertures rival version if you will from back when they were competing.

Perhaps Kleiner thinks they can reverse or undo some damage from the Cascade, or god knows what. Eli mentioned something about not learning their lesson (or something like that), so he's obviously in disagreement.
hopefully containing some of Xen's classic creatures like the bullsquids and houndeyes.
That would really rock, I miss those guys!

Just because YOU think you've improved, doesn't automatically let you invite yourself in though
This is getting far too off topic, but it is exactly right. It's not your place to judge whether you're welcome back or not, it is ours. You broke the rules and lost the right to be here.

Now, I am NOT going to get you banned again, not yet anyway. I'm going to watch you and judge for myself whether or not you deserve to stay.

Moving on, we need less people here bashing him. If you don't approve and don't want to help, then don't. Stay out of it. He's been told enough what's wrong with this idea, especially legally, it's now on him so leave him be.

This is a warning to all.

I've played Redstone, it's got a fairly win setting, but it's built pretty scrappy in places. If Valve fixed it up a bit I'd be all for it becoming official, but that'll never happen.

Fastlane looks to be the exact opposite - Same old boring design, but quite well built.

Well the quality is pretty much guaranteed to be fine, but i'm talking about the size and performance impact. A well compressed JPG is the better option for wallpapers, for obvious reasons.

So what? :P

PNG's are only good for small graphics, and mostly when transparency is involved - something Paint fails at miserably. Saving the final product as a PNG is gonna' result in absurd file sizes, too.

It's easier to have one good program that does it all right then resizing it in one (with a specific format, I might add), then having to save it in another.
