Let’s whine about hats: TF2 is going too far

Let’s whine about hats: TF2 is going too far

[Insert ordinary praise for the game and a slow introduction here] Have you listened to the developer commentary of TF2? As you’d expect from Valve, they’re clever and give you a pretty thorough look behind the curtains of the game. Unfortunately, some of it is out of date by now, and only serves as a reminder of earlier times. Times without paraphernalia better suited for games like Men of War.

Another franchise returns to its roots: Worms 2D back to the PC

Another franchise returns to its roots: Worms 2D back to the PC

Yay? After discovering that Worms doesn’t quite work in 3D – or at least that nobody really cared about it – Team 17 sat down and thought about perhaps making another 2D version of it. 49142 years passed, many developers grew beards.

Buzzword, buzzword. Buzzword. Buzzword buzzword buzzword? I figure “Braid” qualifies easily, and with good reasons – one of them surely being the brilliant artwork.

The story of the Steam installed games list, no sleep and braaaaains

The story of the Steam installed games list, no sleep and braaaaains

I’m currently obscenely tired. So tired, in fact, that my brain has given up on allowing me to engage in almost any activity, including reading, writing (so sorry about this) and even playing games. Looking at your currently installed games list and mentally crossing them off one by one until none are left is a strange feeling for such an avid gamer like me. You know you want to play something, anything, but everything has a fatal flaw or two…

The Scout speaks: Valve Time countdown starts now

/Initiating irritating voice/ Listen, man! There’s like, a whole bunch o’ new stuff promised for me, dude! I’m gettin’ a new promotion, okay? Do you have any idea how significant this is?
