Just remembered this half life 2 comic series out of the blue. Thought it was some top quality shit back in 2005ish, although a lot of the humour doesn't hold up nowadays. Anyone else remember it?

Gordon Frohman? Pretty sure that’s John Freeman, who is Gordon Freeman’s brother.
 

Somehow, Valve is releasing a game with no delays. HL:A comes out March 23rd.

Preorder bonuses such as the SteamVR Environments and CS:GO skins will roll out the week of March 2nd. I'm assuming they'll release another video during this time as well.

lol. I bet they put that in on purpose. Also, nice gun. The guns look really nice, even though they’re all gonna be one handed according to the reddit AMA.

They also said in the reddit AMA that Valve time already happened before they announced it.

Apparently it was on accident



Still funny to see though. Kinda dissapointed that the purple checkerboard hasn't reared its ugly head

I actually just picked up boneworks and have been playing it for a minute now

The game’s pretty cool. You picked a good time to play, the levels can be really long on your first playthrough. It’s cool that they added checkpoints because they actually listened to their fans.
 
Boneworks is available on the oculus store.
Apparently they remade the Tuscany demo from the days of the Oculus DK2 6 years ago.
I love this company.
 

A rather innocuous video uploaded recently, but it has a message from G-man/Barney voice actor Mike Shapiro near the end. There will be ANOTHER Valve release in 2020 besides HL:A, and it'll be a "blast from the past."

Day of Defeat?

Please not more Counter Strike BS that game has been made dry as fuck over the years. No fun allowed.

I just want to play a fun game in TYOOL 2020.

Ricochet 2.
Also, when the index is back in stock, there will be less than expected because of the wu flu. I wouldn’t be surprised if they delayed HLA while they wait for more headsets.
 
oh my
 


Three new videos! Of all three locomotion types. Looks pretty damn good to me. SteamVR Home environments release Wednesday.

Here's an IGN 9-minute uninterrupted video as well.

As a bit of bonus fuckery, Death Stranding PC will have Half-Life content lmfao
 
Game of the fucking decade, right here. Smooth locomotion actually works, too!
Volvo good now!
 
OK. The game looks good enough (I like how Alyx counts ammo like in JP:Tresspasser and all the props you can properly fondle with your hands are cool) but I have no idea what the fuck they were thinking when they replaced Alyx's VA.
She constantly switched between soundling like a chipmunk and sounding like she's got a bad cold in her throat.
Someone better mod in barnacle lifting. The explosions also look pretty bad in that "unreal 4" way. Hl2 got explosions perfect by making them super fast, smokey and not cartoony.
Also, in the subway I am pretty sure the soundtrack is ripping off FNAF 3 (or 2) ahahahahahaha.
 
Notch throwing a fit because...having locomotion options means the gameplay was designed for the lowest common denominator?

Haven't watched all the vids yet, has "no barnacle lifting" been confirmed? I thought this was a rumor.
