While we're at it, let's go start a movement to have birdnets put up so birds will stop shitting on my car. Everyday I get out of bed and have to face the absolute HORROR of that bird shit on my windshield, and i cannot FATHOM continuing to live in such a state where nazi birds are free to shit on anybody's car. Who's with me!? It's time my right to have a bird-shit-free car are recognized!
Shit, can I get an Amen on that?! Right on! Fucking birds.
Beamer, you do not honestly believe that corporations do "What's best for the customer," do you? They do what's best for their bottom line. Nothing else. Maybe an occasional small company will go above and beyond the call of duty for a customer, but all the big ones you mentioned sure as fuck don't. Best Buy? Circuit City? Give me a break. Have you ever TRIED their customer service? A 15% restocking fee because the thing you bought doesn't work as it should, and they have no replacements?
Or replacing an item because it's not functioning 100%, and while you're walking away, seeing a peon put the item you just brought back put it back on the shelf? Oh yeah, they are SO concerned about their customers.
Car manufacturers? You have to be joking...
On the issue of stat tracking, I fail to see any good reason why Valve feels the need to do so, and at the least, I think they should be obligated to put an opt in button at the front. "Do you want us to check your stats? Yes/No"
Just doing it "because you are playing our game" seems nefarious at the least, even if I can't really think of a way that this data could be misused.
When the government does something similar on a truly minor scale (Yes, I know they also do shit on major scale), everybody screams bloody murder, but because it's Valve it's okay?
Btw, is it me, or do I see an overwhelming attitude in this thread of Ep1 being "Annoying" "Boring" "Just not that great" etc? And yet, all of you will STILL buy episode 2, won't you?
Having said that, this month's issue of PC Gamer has a nice preview of Ep2. It sounds pretty cool, until you realise that their idea of "Large, open area, battlefields" in the Source engine will invariably mean 30+ "Loading" interruptions, since the Source engine is incapable of doing levels larger than an Xbox map without loading. I also find it amusing that Valve says that Ep2 will feature "new things", then say that you will be visiting an abandoned mine. Apparently this mine will be "different" from the mine in HL2. Or maybe that was so long ago it no longer counts?
Still, the idea of the Hunter that works in conjunction with Striders is a nice one, and they had several nice shots up of areas, although I couldn't tell if they were Source shots or just photoshopped pictures. Oh, and it will be 4 hours long again.
