Mine also got the first reply, though.
Your thread is filled with negative energy, and this one is all feel-good-ness, though...
I guess I'm lucky that I didn't buy ep. 1 yet, so the only thing I'll be buying twice is HL2... -_-
Unlucky, he got there first.
don't forget to preload TF2 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
That said, This basically boils down to free hl2 + ep1, which though i already had it. is sweet, like peggle extreeeeeeeme
But your thread title reads: "Peggle Extreme".
Its like opening a newspaper reading a title like "100$ Notebooks" and then the article is actually about the history of the company making those notebooks and not the notebooks themselves.
Thus said: Tychos threads fails, requesting lock and spork to the ear!

You see Tycho's Thread there with his disgusting tie and books.
The hotness demonstrated by peggle extreeeeeme is obvious.
Finally there is us smoking and looking disgruntled.
</div>
Oh and in closing I'm pretty sure that Tycho, actually has two threads. As seen in the above picuture
But maybe i like Quaunaut better so i reply to his thread?
They added the video for the Engineer now.
They added the video for the Engineer now.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Good vid, but it told me absolutely nothing more about what the Engy is capable of. Just a bit of self-inflated self-fellation from Valve's marketing team then, I guess...
--Scythe--
Which is exactly what the other 2 "Meet the *" are.
They are cute little advertisements, and that is it.
If you want more info about the game go read the myriad of other articles or watch the other videos about the game.
so, any one have any thoughts about the TF2 beta being announced to start the same day that Fortress Forever is released? (and not even 1 day between the announcements <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />)
Actually it tells you pretty much everything you need to know. The Engineer isn't a run n' gun offence guy, he sits back and builds stuff.
Which is what the engineer does.

Yes the beta release to coincide with FF is very hostile. They must be pretty ######-scared, which they should be. I randomly bumped into a friend of an FF dev in a pub a few weeks back and from what I was told FF looks like it will actually be more of a spiritual successor to TFC than what I've heard of TF2. Plus how many people do you think will be able to master the TF2 style to make custom maps and their custom props? I'm guessing FF's custom map community will piss all over TF2's in the long run unless Valve have something clever up their sleeve.
P.S. Scythe can you at least merge in some of Tycho's other thread, he does make a good point about the Black Box being shelved because Valve wants more money and don't mind breaking promises, and that HL-Ep2 will probably not be worth $30.

My thread reads "Peggle Extreme" in the same way that your hand is attached to your left arm.
You have <i>two hands</i>.
And the Meet the * videos aren't supposed to be some sort of "lol this is a tutorial about what the character is capable of." They're just awesome videos.

Your overestimation of a mod team that hasn't shown much more than a few jump vids that didn't seem horribly interesting is pretty funny.
I hate to say it, but do you honestly think Valve really even gives a ###### about the dates FF puts out? They have no reason to fear them whatsoever: TF2 has instantly more recognition than Fortress Forever ever will, as it is the one being covered in the press, and the one with a wierd, out-there art style.
I don't doubt that FF will probably be tons of fun, and I loved the old TFC(it was my first online multiplayer game and I played the hell out of it), but honestly thinking that they are lining the beta up with FF is just friggin' ridiculous.
Dunno if that was understandable, I'm too lazy to make it double plus good english.
on the topic of orange box, I'm playing ep. 1 through right now and it's soo much better than HL2 vanilla ever was. Having a sidekick makes it 10 times better. HL2 was borderline boring - lots of running around using mediocre weapons, and little plot or character development. running through the game using teamwork with Alyx gives the game another dimension.
beginning of ep. 1 is sorta a deus ex machina though. sucked through the void or something by vortigaunts? might as well have had Gordon just wake up in bed realizing it was all a dream.
Your new copies of HL2 and Ep1 become "gift" copies that you can give to anyone else. They will then own HL2 and/or Ep1. Forever! This is the kind of information included in my far superior topic which Scythe locked because he's a dumb poopoo.
I fully accept that I'm in the minority about HL2, but I felt like basically nothing happened in that game. the whole plot of the game is like two sentences. you're in an orwellian dystopia, you run and swing your crowbar around to help a group of rebels. a bit character with like 2 lines betrays you and it's supposed to be a big deal I guess. I adore the in-engine exposition, but there's just not enough of it. Bioshock is thick with it, which I love, though in bioshock it's almost all via recordings... if ep. 2 is like a cross between bioshock with its volume of plot, and ep. 1 with Alyx following you around, making the plot feel more 'real', I will be quite happy.
I thought you have an irrational fear of Steam? Or a rational one, whatever. I thought you didn't like it, is what I'm saying.
