Valve revolutionized gaming before. Does anyone remember the requirement to insert physical media to install or play a game? How about patches? Sometimes you would have to install a half dozen series of patches to get up to date. Using gamespy or WON to try to find multiplayer games? Library...

People still play this game? It was terrible.

Kill it with fire!

The more Escapist members on PS2, the better. A much more intelligent crowd than the usually SOE dregs.

I guess lots of people are doing this. HFHKJ7NF3JAN7DJ24DCN ZD6PHPTEJG2437FDFHFN HE42RNX2F7EJ72XKP6T3 D9FCC7E2JADPP7R92TMZ 9C29APGMETFHFH6KTEFG www.space-zombies.com

Sony sent me a small pack of them. I was wondering if anyone was interested in getting one. PM me for a key. Edit: found another thread on this http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.393601-Free-Planetside-2-beta-keys Thanks.

I didn't buy BF3 because of Origin (i didn't care about mass effect), I won't buy the new SimCity because of Origin. BF2, BF2142, Spore, CnC4 and other other games left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not just because I don't want another piece of digital distribution software on my computer...

I don't generally find driving to be better on the PC than a console, based on control ability. I mean, I know twisted metal is no Forza or GT game, but I do like the analog inputs for throttle control, so you can actually vary you speed like you can in an actual car. Sure you could use a...

I wear mine on my right wirst because I'm left handed. I wear a watch because it's hard to look at a smart phone on your motorcycle. I keep mine on top of my wrist so I don't have to set my throttle lock to look at it. I just rotate my wrist a bit to glance at it, sometimes using my clutch...

Electronics Retail: There's always that one guy who wants to buy a butane torch so he can smoke his meth, but doesn't want to pay for it. That guy will stab you in the parking lot.

It's because they are Canadian, people have an irrational fear of Canadians. They are too quiet and generally don't cause a lot of trouble.

I will say that it is hard work, but it is lucrative. For someone who has basic education and technical skills, you can make a lot of money and not be hassled too much. We certainly get people coming in every day looking for work. It's hard for our manager to know who is good and who is...

I can respect the heat thing. I've loaded aircraft out in triple digits, hell, I've worked in this shop changing alternators and oil and doing state inspections in it. Heat is a beast. I heard that at the El Paso Mercedes dealership, they actually air condition the shop. We have a swamp...

Oh yes, I know. I was researching legal ramifications of firing 'sick' people in Texas (there aren't any), and a thread on the Escapist came up on someone complaining for being fired for being sick. I thought I would post the opposite spectrum, because I'm having to deal with people...

We have an automotive repair facility in the family in a moderate sized suburb of a chemical plant. We are one of the best performing companies in our area with over 27 companies coming to us for fleet maintenance, with very few comebacks, and at a reasonable price. Generally we have 3...
