"Forgive me if I've missed something here, but how is it a 'global search' if the prize was found just North of where the company is based?"

It's a global search because they will take your money in exchange for a pack of worthless, mass printed paper objects no matter where you live in the world.

Reeeeeeeeetaaaarded.

ARG is the sound you make after getting a swift kick to the groin, an all too appropriate moniker for these poor excuses for entertainment. It's almost as bad as Second Life... but not quite.

Wow, you map your keys to ESDF... amazing you could go back to the "conventional" method by shifting your digits an entire set of keys to the left... /groan

Watch any game demo of CS in CAL or CPL and tell me that's even an "entertainment experience". Bullshit, it's manipulation of angles, camping around every corner being as careful as possible and taking advantage of every single engine exploit that can be leveraged.

Watch any Q3 Pro match and every top player has their CFG's tricked out to make everything look like fucking PONG... so tell me again, what is entertaining there? It is all manipulation and exploitation.

CPL picked PAINKILLER over UT2K4 for its premiere title the year they both debuted; it has been obvious since at least that point that they needed to develop an internal platform because commercial games are not cutting it.

I hope it is successful for the simple fact that both industries do a huge disservice to each other when and where they overlap.

Joe Rogan was probably in the middle of an ayahuasca trip, just reaching the ninth circle of the astral plane. Everyone gets a little loud at that point.

SHOGO:MAD was a great fucking game, that is all.

Wow, GG Valve. Instead of actually, you know, developing a more extensive gameplay environment outside of THREE MINUTE ROUNDS that are consistently reset to fixed positions, you take the more obvious course: dynamically scale the most pointless and anal-retentive addition to the "experience" of CS, that of microeconomics.

Sorry, I've played CS since Beta One, and I quit shortly after they bought the game and put out 1.0... Valve has done nothing except noobify this title to the nTh degree, sitting it on the backburner and raking in the cash. Way to kill of Action Half Life so you can have a single rising mod star that is tactically inept and conceptually retarded. Screw Goose for letting it happen and not forcing them to flesh out the concept after they purchased his ass, too. Weaksauce.

"Viral marketing for the loss."

Seriously, "Neil Christie", that was a stinkbomb you just squeezed out. Ugh.

Don't link to an SA thread and then deem what is "pushing it", their humor does not exist in a vacuum, aside from that the editorial tone is simply childish. If you want to riff on their content don't question it, k thnx.
