"Uwe Boll and Michael Bay get rights to Half-Life Saga. Hideo Kojima to write the script. Disney producing it."

There. I challenge someone to think of a WORSE scenario to befall Half-Life.

"The Gaming industry has decided to take Peter Molyneux seriously...."

"An honest to God, actual attempt at a decent video game made into movie (or vice versa) is in the making."

Though it wouldn't be Diablo, and would be an insult to Diablo, I could totally see a first-person version of Diablo 1 being made into a Doom3 like shooter with strong Borderlands overtones. If they could just randomly generate the dungeons, that might be a good idea for a game. I know I'd play it.

OT: World's silicon supply running low. Microchip manufacturing put on hold.

wasn't that Hellgate: London?
Hm, Possibly. Though HG:L's weapons weren't any fun to use. I only played it for an hour because my friend bought an extra copy somehow and wanted me to play it. I didn't find it fun. It is possible to make two games on the exact same premise and have one be drastically superior to the other. There is more to designing a game properly than just getting a few good ideas in place. HG:L had some good elements while epically failing on others.

Nintendo reports second quarter losses of over $740 million. Files for chapter 11 bankruptcy. It is rumoured that Sony and Microsoft's game divisions will soon follow suit.

Oh for fuck's sake I get really repulsed at the extremely sad reactions of almost everyone on this biased site, sheesh no one reacted like this with the planned Halo movies and shit, yet with Half-Life everyone reacts, "OMG THEYRE GONNA TARNISH THE IMAGE OF OUR BELOVED HALF-LIFE WAHWAHWAH!". Seriously, all of you quit your faboyish behaviors, Half-Life is not the god image of gaming so quit acting like if the movies are going to make any impact. You still have the games so there is really no problem.
its more or less that they will make Gordon Freeman talk. which is against his character like link from Zelda. and everyone has the right to be a fan boy.

Johnny Depp would make a great Freeman though.

"EA Games has taken Activision/Blizzard under it's wings, and the companies are now 100% property of EA Games. In other news, EA Games has decided to make a StarCraft racing game featuring customizable vehicles, stunning graphics and additional DLC. Diablo 3 has been scrapped and will be remade into a console shooter."
Also, "Diablo 3 will be released after all! And Diablo 4 next year, Diablo 5 a year after that, and for at least 10 years.."

If they could make a Half Life movie and have whoever is playing Gordon Freeman not say a single word throughout the entire film, not only would I go see it I would tell everyone it was the single greatest film ever made.

Jack Thompson has a sex change, mates with Michael Atkinson and the resulting child of the union is born with the ability to think anything they disagree with out of existence. President Obama disappears over night the NRA become the major political party which means that wars against other "godless" countries increase unabated. America goes bankrupt three years in due to fighting a war on eighty different fronts.

Ironically everyone agrees that the conscription age of 13 is fine as it prevents our kids from playing those violent computer games, much better to place a real M16 in the hands of a minor than a mouse after all.

The only music allowed are hymns and anyone of a different race are re nationalised or shot on sight, the KKK become the recognised faith group in the continental united states. The population increases after all the abortion clinics are burned down, eventually the EU have to send food aid to the US as over population has led to a growing food shortage.

Simon Cowell who now owns all the rights to all music in the world records a charity single for the starving of New York, they ironically never hear it.....

Oh and my own country doesnt survive much better Keith Vaz becomes Prime Minister, I'm arrested walking into Parliament with a mask a puritan hand and a long cape on. I am held in an "reeducation camp" where my fingers are broken so that I may never pick up a controller again.

Hatred and suspicion run riot, Holland is wiped out in a cataclysmic flood and the people of Cuba all die of a mysterious plague.

And in answer to your questions.

1. No I don't have a life

and

2. Yeah I could do with getting out more!

"Controllers Obsolete all systems to use motion controllers."
... uh... *scratches head*

motion controllers are still controllers.
How about, "Game Pads that do not have motion sensitivity"?
