I want the whole world to see the most amazing game ever
« on: July 18, 2006 10:27 pm CDT »
Valve is coming out with a new Source game called Portal.  From what I've seen, it involves you, a portal gun, and... Portals!  And before you even start to speculate as to what it looks or plays like, I just want you to watch the video, then spam it to all you friends through Instant Messages.  Because all you'll be thinking about would be to tell all your friends about what you just saw.  Don't believe me?  See for yourself, then:

Yeah, it looks pretty cool.  I guess we'll get to see if it lives up to the hype this holiday season.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Have you seen the Google video on Spore?  you start out as a single cell organism and evolve into a space travelling race.  Every race will be different dependent on gameplay and choices made during the evolution process.

cool looking game.  click hereto go to the google video

Portal looks fun..  I wonder if and how they would incorporate internet play to that.

I can see Portal perhaps being limited to small multiplayer bouts. A 16 player match would just be too insane.

I should mention that Portal will be shipping with HL2 episode 2.

As for spore, I will be getting that too.  Will Wright is a genius in allowing for user content, creating creatures that are simply  code that have small file sizes, thus they are shared around the entire world passively.

Been following Spore for well over a year. I had better not be let down. The idea is just amazing. The implementation better follow suit.

Just as a note, the more you anticipate and research a game prior to its release, the more you will be disappointed by it.

I pity the fool who plays WoW.

It's the gargantuan black hole of gaming.

but it does serve one purpose, anyone that sucks at games gets trapped in WoW because all you have to do is press 1, 2 and then......... 3.  Yay! You are teh winner! It took you and 39 other guys to destroy 1 guy! You are soo good.

So other games are better now, gets rid of spammers, tkers, and overtall farktards.
I played WoW and it was addictive, it wasnt crap. It sucks.

I'd love to play it, but there's a few things stopping me.  
1.  I dont want to gain 50 lbs.
2.  I'm afraid I'll forget to add to my bank acct and go into overdraft.  Then not even think to check it because im so addicted to WoW.
3.  My school blocks the port that GW uses, and I have yet to have successfully set up a proxy or port forwarded.  I'll have to have somebody show me someday.

You must have gotten to level 10 then..  no one could get to 40+ by pressing only 1 2 and 3.  I do think it's a black hole, though..  so boring later on.
