Indiana Jones, also known as poster number nine, was born with a small defect in his brain that interprets good news as 'spitting on your fans,' a phenomenon for which he is still studied closely to this day.

@ GodlyAthiest:
Yeah, let's pull the plug on Valve's flagship series, especially now when it's more popular than ever. The first Half-Life is one of the greatest games ever, and the second is on par with that, maybe even better (but that's a matter of opinion, and it's quite ironic I point that out now, because basically all of this is opinion - be it popular as it is). Valve is doing great things in the industry - Steam, while having a bad launch, is one useful little program. Installing the game and having it ready weeks before release - that's something. Online distribution is something. It's where video game sales are heading - give a console an HDD and suddenly you can download games to your console. And now there's episodic content - for these times when players are always waiting for the sequel, it can be developed much faster, and include incremental experimental upgrades to the original game.

In brief, the first Half-Life was a huge success because it at the time its graphics were superb, the story was intriguing, and the overall atmosphere was top-notch. The second improved in nearly every way, and this new episode promises lots of new ideas and concepts to add to Half-Life's charm and appeal, with its online distribution making it more accessible than ever to everyone.

SomethingAwful is really the greatest site out there. If I wasn't a 16 year old without a credit card I would join the forums like that. But lurking will have to do for now :(

This Photoshop Phriday is really one of the best, except for the most part I can't sympathize, because my Grandma kicked ass at Rad Racer.

P.S: Yes, I have stairs...in my Doom Hose.
