*unfolds his lawnchair and opens a beer* Can't wait to see Smart show up and try to stir the pot at The Escapist. It'll be like going to the physics department at a university and calling the professors "dummies" from the back of the hall. Oh, wow, this is rich. From the article...

I was with you up until this part. Either you've switched to typing in French or something, or I'm not drunk enough to parse your words.

I am madly in love with this thread.

I have this inexplicable urge to buy a Whopper now.

This is like YouTube Thunderdome. Two posters enter. One poster leaves.

That's crazy. MTV never played music. You're just telling tall tales again.

This is how you know you've hit the big time, when random shipments of alcohol show up addressed to you. I can only imagine what resulted in this fine gift...

Thank you for writing this, Russ.

What this thread needs is a hug. Maybe a drink, too, but most certainly a hug. It's strange, these arguments get so heated and personal that you'd assume some of us have a personal interest in how well the game does. I'd like to think we as a community will not be depressed if Microsoft only...

I think Miller's logic is flawed. I was under the impression that if Valve didn't do well for a game or two, they'd have Steam and its revenue to fall back on. Is that not the case? I thought that was why they were getting so aggressive about 3rd-party games on the service.

I'm sure it was an unimportant part. Something you won't miss. Just walk it off. The antics that occur in the Escapist Compound sound a lot like my own office... if my office had any personality at all. And it doesn't. So now I'm depressed.

Not really surprising. I'd like to think the real reason for the delay is work on TF2 and Portal, since Episode 2 will probably only be 5 hours of content. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait though.

In addition to, from what I've read.

Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend has me most excited. Great lick.

The Half-Life 2 episodes really are not a great example of episodic content. Would you continue to follow a show like Friends if they only broadcasted one episode every 18 months? Episodic gaming is a great model, but it's never going to work for a company like Valve.
