TF2. Anybody notice they removed the backburner health bonus?

Well, yeah. That's kind of the point. The problem was that if the attacked you from the front, using the backburner, their HP bonus made it very likely that you would lose, just because they would outlast you. The weapon that was designed to be used from behind was also the preferred weapon...

Anyone else feel that there are 2 fundamental problems with TF2?

I'm trying to think of a way that a full team of pyros could accomplish anything, and I'm coming up blank. The only way they could take an objective is if they all attacked as a single group. But rif they are that coordinated, then it wouldn't matter if they were all pyros, or a mixed team...

Next Crysis actually to be playable;)

I'm a bit more inclined to believe it this time around than the last. Consider that when Crysis was released, there were no decent mainstream-priced cards on the market. Eveything was either an underpowered/outdated GPU, or cost $300+. The 8800GT didn't exsist, so you were looking at a...

Penny Arcade Says It Best

The argument on the penny arcade news item is a strawman argument. That's not what the PC crowd is saying. The PC crowd takes issue with the assertion that it the state of PC gaming is in disarray. We're not claiming PC gaming is the be-all-end-all. But coming off of late 2007, saying PC...

Eve Online

Much of Goonfleet's recruiting is straight from the SomethingAwful forums. So GoonFleet gets a lot of brand new guys who go straight into fleet battles their first week. The page you're referencing assumes you want to roll a character, and be useful in a fleet battle as soon as possible. With...

Big Daddies - Bioshock

This guy is in Medical Pavilion. No mines. No gel. No trap bolts. No Winter blast. Available plasmids: Electroshock, Incinerate, and Telekinesis. He likely has Telekinesis and Electroshock equipped, and doesn't have access to a Gene Bank. Here's what I did: 1) If you have any...

I want to cry...

They have their own game. It's called Eve online. The fact that everything you own can be destroyed/taken is no accident. It's central to the design. There are countless games where winning or losing in PvP is effectively meaningless. Eve is not such a game. Even scamming, inserting...

Unreal Tournament 3 for PC -- why don't you want to buy it?

The question isn't "Where are all the UT3 players." the question is "Where are all the FPS players". The answer is TF2, and CoD4. Epic removed all the things that PC gamers expect from a fast-paced FPS (pings on the scoreboard, feature-rich server browser with history and friends lists...

Which will be the *New FPS with the bigger MP community?

I don't understand how anyone can vote for UT3. The servers list is nearly empty, and the game has been out for a full 2 weeks. Multiplayer PC games don't have their communities peak 6 months after release. They never have. After a couple months, most people have moved on to another game...

Unreal Tournament 3

Absolutely not. For 2K4, there were tons of servers available from day one.

Boob Tube: CNN Duped By Hillary Clinton PLANT At Republican YouTube Debate

He would be terrible. The debate was amongst Republicans, for the Republican Primary. If should focus on differences between the candidates, rather than focus on issues upon which all the candidates hold similar positions. Hell, I don't think even most of the front-running Democrats would...

"Crysis makes me sick"

This paragraph is a load of crap. The author of this article clearly has no idea what he's talking about. There was no lying or deception on Crytek's part. If they really wanted the "very high" settings disabled for DX9 users, they would have disabled them in the engine. But they did no such...

Here is my possible setup for Crysis, is it solid enough?

Your proposed system will be just fine for Crysis. It's really the best you can do right now without springing for a $400+ video card. My system is similar, and I play the demo at 1280x960, 2XAA, High settings (with a couple of "Very High" tweaks snuck in via the config file). Frame rate...

Crysis tweaks?

But if it's an unplayable slideshow, you may have no choice. Of all the settings, Shaders has the most impact on framerate.
