I wanna play as Abraham and prove my piety by killing my own child. Big fun.

Or...

I'll play as Lot and have my hot daughters fuck me while I'm drunk. Even bigger fun.

Or...

I'll play Elijah and ask god to unleash wild she-bears on as many insolent children as possible.

Good times.

Have you ever met a 8 to 14 year old who could tell you why he doesn't like something?

I'll extend this question to include most adults as well. People, no matter what age, need only to say that X = suxxors and that seems to be good enough.

There are exceptions, of course, but their rarity serves only to emphasize the rule.

What an annoying article layout! Going from number 1 to 10 is such a chore! Not you, Blue. You did what you could to aid readability, preesh.

But man-o-man, what were they thinking? Condense that shit already! No one cares THAT much.

You didn't take issue with "constant venemous attacks" and "PhD fraud" ?

Now this won't be as exciting

edit: I don't think you can produce venom.

Oh come on, Seph. The Ph.D thing is SO 1998, it's just SO 20th Century! He's over that.

Frictional should do what Introversion did: partner with Steam for a big promotional event. Yes, I know Amnesia is already available on Steam...I'm talking about a specific marketing push designed to beef up sales. Like Introversion did with Darwinia and Defcon.

I mean, you'd think you can't go wrong with a $20 game but who knows? Maybe a higher price point would have provided a different psychological effect:

"for $20, I must not be getting very much"

versus

"$30 is 20 bucks cheaper than most other games, so maybe I'll give it a try."

As for myself, I do not enjoy survival horror games much at all, so I'm the wrong market altogether.

Hey Derek, why don't you go find a nice calm pool of water and stare at yourself some more.

Yahtzee Cremshaw's Zero Punctuation review for this game was one of the funniest he's done in a long time!
Agreed. Yahtzee's best reviews are generally the ones he really hated. STALKER is a really funny one too.

I, for one, welcome this bit of news and I'll be sure to buy the game as soon as it's available.

Take that, haters.

Only good thing I can think of with this announcement is that Stalker series had TONS of well made mods and tweaks.

Like Fallout3 and Oblivion, I'm betting Stalker2 will have plenty of smart modders FIXING the game to proper PC abilities and adjustments.

This is a good point. The mod community for Stalker has never been shy about disagreeing with developers' choices. All 3 existing iterations of Stalker each have multiple mods that address the UI specifically. I see no reason to think Stalker 2 will be absent from the mod party.

Unless, of course, Stalker 2 isn't mod friendly. <dramatic music>

I take it, one will be a new Half-Life (Main moneymaker)
Followed by a source game of sorts, L4D (good bet)or something similar.(might even be that Movie they are attempting to make themselves)
then a NEW ENGINE... cause they don't want to fall to far behind ID, or Epic.

Yeah, I'm not so sure Half-Life is their big moneymaker. I'd say Steam is their big moneymaker. And frankly, I don't place too much value on Eps 3. If it comes out, fine. If not, that's cool too. I'm much more excited by Portal 2 these days. And I'm betting Valve is too, seeing that's what they've been working on all this time.

I'm not complaining, unlike the rest of you jackals.

Modern family portrays a family that would be considered modern 15-20 years ago in a format that is totally old school sit-com formula. I still like it even though I am never surprised by any jokes or situations. The power of good execution.

Network television knows no other way to do sitcoms. That's why I rely on movies and stand-up for comedy. TV is just not funny to me anymore.

Uplink and Darwinia are both a lot of fun but Defcon, while fun too, seems to be only a multi-player game. For those of us who can't stand people, have they made a single-player mode for Defcon? Cheers!

I can't speak regarding any other game on this list but there's a very effective GFWL removal tool for Fallout 3 available at the fallout3nexus.com mod supersite. It works like a charm.
