Re-Post Your First Post

Tennenbaum was definitely an interesting character, though I have to say I liked McDonagh better myself. Found it a shame he didn't get a bigger role.

On topic, I think for now I'll have to stick with with McDonagh.

It seems like I'm not alone thinking that after all. Although Tennebaum is my favorite female character of all time.

Ahh, this thread takes me back...well, here's my contribution!

I created an account just to comment on this...

I just wanted to say that from a girl's perspective...BE CAREFUL. I have been dating my current boyfriend for almost four years now. I have ALWAYS been an open-minded individual, and when it comes to intimacy, I'm usually the aggressive one. My boyfriend and I have talked about the possibility of a threesome several times before over the years. But let me say, when the actual proposal came up, I was surprised to find myself pretty jealous (it was a girl we both mutually knew). Had he pressed the matter, I probably would have gone through with it, and quite possibly deeply regret it.

That being said, my personal advice is keep up communication with your fiance. Let her know what the other girl proposes (AND don't forget to tell her how she feels!) And what's the rush?? If you're both open to the idea of a threesome, why not find a willing stranger to fulfill both of your wishes? There is NO need to complicate things with someone you are at least semi-close to (and who is admittedly attracted to you).

...also, on a side note...not to be judgmental, but your view of your fiance confuses me. I'm sure you love her and care about her, but you don't really sound like someone getting ready to spend the rest of your life with someone else; NOT because of your desire for a threesome, but because of your flippant attitude about whether or not this ends your relationship. I mean, I would hate to hear my boyfriend tell me "well hey, if we break up, no biggie...I'll just move on". I admire your level-headed attitude on relationships (I can't STAND when people think they're nothing without their partner, as if everything they did in life before meeting was meaningless), but I guess I'd feel better if I heard a little more desire to avoid a breakup.

Just so you know, the thread was started by a guy who had been with his current fiance for two years, and was asking advice on whether or not he should have a threesome with another girl he liked (and who liked him). The fiance APPARENTLY said she was ok with the idea of a threesome...but the guy hadn't told her about the mutual attraction with this other chick. Plus when asked if he was concerned if whether or not this would end their relationship, he said "Well I guess I'll just move on!"

Fired me up enough to create an account and post!

1) No cut scenes, don't make Gordon talk, don't give away details about the G-Man in any way except slowly, with even more questions cropping up as there answered. The awesome action could be stand alone, but its held together by a sparse yet high quality story that leaves you with questions to hypothesize with your friends about. Basically keep it up, but for the sake of my sanity, please have a significant revelation in Ep 3 about what forces are at play, cause im dieing to know
2) Stop showcasing the physics engine, and just use it. In Half Life 2, the engine was unprecedented in quality, so showing it off is fine. Now, make it feel like your just making a awesome game with the engrossing experience of realistic physics. Gordon Powered Rockets breaks the suspension of disbelief.
3) Your not a vehicle driving game, but you do push the envelope. Try to use driving more sparsely, to mix things up instead of changing the formula. Think of driving like a mini game.
4) Give us a hint of Xen. I would love to see it in the Source engine, and would return the sense in Half Life 1 of a truly alien existence out there. Half Life currently feels a bit too terrestrial.
5) Add more Alien monsters and weapons. Again, Ive almost forgotten that were dealing with a strange alien world with things on the edge of imagination. I miss the Egon cannon, the Gauss Rifle, the Hornet Gun, and strange, intelligent aliens that are trying to murder me in strange, alien ways. Opposing Force has some great inspiration. And excellent job on the hunters, but even they feel more like advanced, totalitarian government technology instead of an alien menace.
6) Add weapons that arn't of the, "Its in my sight, pull button, and its dead" vein. Bugbait was great. Tricky things like satchel charges and remote mines really enrich the experience for me
7) The Black Ops enemies were awesome. They scared the crap outta me, and I had to get truly clever to overcome them. Any chance on seeing them again?
8) Don't make a context sensitive cover system. Just do it manually, where your less likely to get hit if you peek out just far enough to see your enemy whose not hiding.
9) I hate to go against something thats such a classic HL thing...but fix the flashlight. Flashlights don't have 30 seconds of power, nor do they recharge like that. Theres scary situations with it, but it feels contrived. Maybe the light sways wildly when your being attacked in melee?
10) If what I say seems wrong, ignore me. You guys are professionals, artists, and generally awesome.

Man, it feels like ive been on these boards forever, and my first post was reflecting on what I wanted in Episode 3...::Sigh::

My wrist cracks everytime i move it.
Not sure if it's from to much games though.

Wow, it's been a while. *goes through posts*

I don't have much of an accent, actually. I grew up too far south (in America) for me to have a "Deep South" accent, and if I do have one, it's never been mentioned, and I've been around the country. I do, though, have a somewhat...odd accent I put on certain words. I've never heard anything like it, and I can't really put it into text. Also, I'm an accent mimic. A day or two somewhere and I pick it up, generally.

Accents I can't stand? The aforementioned Deep South accent, y'all. It just makes me ill.

I love British accents, like Yahtzee's. And Scottish, as well. Mmm...foreign accents.

Similar situation..
I've never picked up the Texas accent even though I've lived here most of my life..maybe it's because I'm a New-Englander by birth and I deliberately not picked up the 'Texan' accent.

Off topic, I thought that Yahtzee's imitated South African accent in his most recent video (Farcry 2) was rather humorous.

D'aww... I was so cute when I was a newb.

I'm not paranoid about it or anything. It sounds like a good enough idea on paper (electrons?) but I can see where there might be problems. For instance, security checkpoints and large crowds make me nervous as a guy on a blind date discovering Chris Hansen on the other side of the door. I'd be a false positive every time.
And I'm curious as to whether someone with malicious intent can "beat" the machine through some mad yogi skillz or pharmaceutical assistance.

This is so deliciously non-sequitur.

My actual first post was during MM, but it seems that I can no longer retrieve that information. Probably because all the threads associated with MM have long been deleted. So I guess I'll post my first post, after MM. Hope you guys like it ^~^!

Greetings and salutations,
For awhile now I have been asking myself, why was there never a video game based off the book/movie "The Neverending Story". In using the search function, I could not find a thread in this forum that asked the same question. So after some research I came to discover that there were games for the Neverending Story, three of them to be precise.The Neverending Story for the Atari (1986), The Neverending Story II - The Arcade Game (1990), and The Neverending Story - Auryn Quest (2001). You can view a trailer for Auryn Quest here:


I had never heard of these games. Either because it was before my time (Atari), wouldn't know where to find it( Arcade Game?), or it was released in only a few European countries (Auryn Quest). So my question is: why wasn't there any Neverending Story games on the NES or SMS? Maybe even the Genesis or the SNES? I don't fully understand why they would have neglected to cash in on an epic series, as is the case with The Neverending Story. I know what some of you may be thinking. That if there were a video game, chances are it would ruin the book and the movie. As movie-video game releases generally have a bad reputation. So it is in that event, I would also ask how would you make a good Neverending Story game.

What kind of platform would you envision for it (SMS,NES,ETC)? Would it be 2d platformer, RPG, or maybe even an adventure game? What features would you use, and how would you implement them? How much of the game would be derived from the story? It is these things that interest me, because I had always wondered what a good Neverending Story game would play like. Thank you for reading.

An observation of the Neverending Story and video games ^~^! Here's a link to the actual thread if anyone is interested.

It's a PnP RPG, you can do whatever you want.

Mine was in a thread about the worst forced stealth sections

Lost Odssey anyone?

As you can see, I was badass back then

 

[Snarky Username]

It was on a post about favorite boss battles, I posted

The Nihilanth because it's the only boss that had me chuck a grenade into a baby's head, which I found to be awesome.

Hmmm,Camping ever ok? i'd have to say if your a sniper,or nazi zombies,then its ok

 

[FolkLikePanda]

For me to believe in anything it would have to turn into a cardboard box, jump over my back garden fence, rape my next door neighbours dog to make it shut up, kill Bin Laden, kill every arsehole I hate, turn into a person, leap 100 feet in the air, do 5 forward soumersaults, go up side down, do the splits, twirl 10 times, do 7 backward soumersaults, land perfectly, whilst running overtake a Formual 1 car at top speed and then eat a cheese sandwich, either that or just appear before me if I'm not high. O and they have to do all that stuff before my very eyes.

 

[Synek]

Nope.

The thread was about if you was here before ZP.
One word first post. No one would get angry about that, right?

A friend of mine and me started to do phone sex, just to pass the time. Mainly because, she's in New York, and I was like a thousand miles away from her. When I gave her a surprise visit to her apartment while we had our thing on the phone, I was as equally surprised as her, as she was actually doing the things she said in the phone. It was awkward, then we just did it right after I saw her insert a candle up her hoo-hoo. We broke up 8 months later yet we continue to do it until now.

The thread was " the weirdest thing your partner has ever done " Throw me into the banhammer but I'm just answering a call.
