Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

[Rufus]

That minimum wage thread is goddamn ridiculous. I thought GAF was left-leaning.

Everyone turns into a supply side economist when it's about minimum wage. The general populace really doesn't need that much money, I mean, c'mon. And really, they don't deserve it anyway. Not the way I do.
It's really funny how so many people who comment on this would rather race to the bottom. Same way everyone seems to think state finances are just as simple as individual household finances.

[benjipwns]

I think I'm reading a different minimum wage thread.

[benjipwns]

I'll post just for you.

[benjipwns]

The money will eventually find it's way back up the chain though. These businesses that won't benefit immediately are the sort that tend to cater to the rich already. If this is really going to drive them out of business then they haven't been doing a good enough job.
...
What businesses won't benefit at all? ... Yacht shops?

This post reminds me of one of my favorite political economy lessons: http://www.nytimes.com/1992/02/07/business/falling-tax-would-lift-all-yachts.html

My view of most gamers as they post on a forum is them sitting in a constant stew of intense anger..... over a videogame. 


Although to be fair in this case the dev is also much like his audience in this example.

I like Phil Fish because he made thousands Japanophiles really angry about something he said months (years?) ago and they will never let go of that because he dared insult glorious nippon.

Nah, fuck him.  He can dish it out but he can't take it, which is the mark of a true bitch.

It's been five years? I forgot what Crushed was banned for

Probably for spamming 4chan and Something Awful memes.  The Crushed iteration was pretty shitty.  The EmCeeGramr iteration is a pretty big improvement even though his avatar is from a SA meme:

Well for me EmCeeGramr has done his first bit of good modship.

Someone just reminded me that Fighting Force 2 exists

I had successfully wiped the memory of playing that game 13 years ago

Dude even went for one of the Saoirse Ronan guys (before he switched to a realpic avatar), jesus christ. The thirst is strong with this one.

That name sounds really familiar.

Yeah that was the other guy, I forgot your username but knew the other guy wasn't the original Ronan dude. I guess. Anyway you'd think with the amount of Ronan avatars on GAF the guy would have realized it's not anyone's realpic. Then again, he fell for Atra too so... Too thirsty to think.

He got banned and thought Amirox did it. He changed his avatar to say something insulting about Amirox which earned him the perm.

Grats to EmCeeGrammr. Guy loves DX1, DX: HR and Nintendo games. Hates Sony shills. All good in my book.

He gives hope to the rest of us Ninthings that someday we can rehabilitate ourselves.

To be fair, I think Classy is the only one who posts in the OT side with any regularity. I lurk in every corner of the forum but most of my posts are in the Steam thread and as far as Off-Topic is concerned the only thread I keep on top of is, shock and awe, the appreciation thread, haha.

Why do people hold so much hope for HL3? The second was amazing for technical aspects, like the animation. The actual gameplay was

The first was a classic because of the scripting, which has been a staple of FPS since.

naa I pretty much knew half-life 2 was boring a couple hours in to playing it.  Nice atmosphere and visuals though.

Valve didn't start getting good until TF2 and Portal came out.

Oh, half life 2 revisionism where we pretend it isnt one of the best shooters of all time?

I guess people still call Jordan overrated though

One of the best shooters of all time? With that gunplay

Half-Life 2

[El Babua]

HL1 > EP2 > HL1 expansions > EP1 > HL2

2 was a good game but aged the worse due to inconsistent pacing and chunks of the game not being much fun.

[Great Rumbler]

HL2 didn't even have a cover system. Worst FPS ever.

[Atramental]

I like HL2 but it was never "Oh my god, Gaben. You make me cum so hard. Nnnnnnnh." good, like the fan-boys would want you to believe.

edit: And if HL3 ever does come out... I might have to avoid gaming related websites for a while.

Hmm. F.E.A.R.

I don't think I ever finished that game...



Should I?

[thisismyusername]

*dap this*

Of course, I need to get around to playing Half-Life 1 classic (NOT SOURCE) eventually. But I agree. I didn't care for anything Valve released until Portal and TF2. Half-Life 2 was majorly boring due to all the physics stuff. Good for a tech-demo of their engine, but making an entire game of that and traveling in vehicles? 

And then Episode 1 somehow out-bored the base game. 2 would've been amazing if it didn't take the driving and have you micromanage like three-four things with that last battle of driving, resupply ammo/gravity gun "ammo", fight monsters while managing health.

[Phoenix Dark]

Are you saying HL2 is the...Avatar of videogames? A pretty tech demo and nothing more?

[StealthFan]

F.E.A.R hate Yeah the levels were repetitive but they were in service of the AI. Monolith didn't crack the AI nut, the level design did a lot of the work. That game owned.
 
Speaking of Goldeneye: Perfect Dark Man it was satisfying to cap motherfuckers in that.

[StealthFan]

Hmm. F.E.A.R.

(Image removed from quote.)

Should I?

The gunplay hasn't been topped since. I can't think of many games released since that could replicate the encounters in regards to enemy reactions either. Even the sequels couldn't cut it.
