Decryptor using his own image thumbnails I see :p

It's the whole reason I wrote the script in the first place :p

And if nobody can guess it, I won't leave another cryptic clue then. Zoey has 3 hands in the No Mercy poster.

i probably will buy it but not for the game itself, just the online component.

i own HL1 and HL2 and a stack of mods. i've never actually played the single player in HL1 and i played HL2 for about 20 minutes just to look around. it's all about the mods and online. i'm hoping this game will be good online.

I've only just played this after having the installed the demo for so long and so far my experience has been a bit mixed. On the upside, the game does throw in a lot of zombies, I've lost count the number of times I nearly died if one of my team mates hadn't fired a shot at the right time in my direction. I do like the fact that your name comes up when you've killed one of the 4 main zombies, such as The Smoker or Witch. However, they're are annoying, especially The Boomer when it explodes on you and all you see in front of you is hordes and hordes of zombies, but it does add to the gaming experience. I also feel the sound effects and ambience are very good, as it instantly reminds me of the Resident Evil games, I made a mistake of playing the game at night and when I heard the cries of The Witch, I chicken out by running away :blush: :laugh: .

On the downside, some of the weapons are a bit underpowered in my opinion but that does add to the whole survivor aspect. Also, I have to admit that playing by yourself is no fun at all. This game is best played with your friends, the problem with me though is that most of my friends are either busy studying or busy working :laugh: .

It's certainly a game that I would buy in the future, it's just that I seriously do not have the time to enjoy it. Right now, I'm just waiting for NFS: Undercover as I can certainly sneak in some time playing it when I'm working :p .

Played the demo a couple of times, offline and online. My thoughts:

- I still get a chuckle out of those movie posters. Just like I was laughing quite hard at the TF2 freezecam shots when I saw them for the first time. :p

- I haven't managed to survive through Expert on the second demo level. First time going through it, the game threw a Tank inside the subway car and I went down. Another time, it spawned a witch near the subway cars and I went "hmmmm, let me check out the cor- OH S***!" and got raped. Other times, boomers kept spawning and that took out my team. The last time, while playing online, in the warehouse on the second level a friend decapitated and killed me while a hunter pinned me down. :pinch:

- Last night while playing on an online server, one person would go into a lagging loop. They'd get the reconnecting message over and over while everyone was alright. While it was doing that for me the console turned into some huge glitched up mess with giant pixellated fonts.

- Had two ###### do nothing but teamkill at the spawn. Kicking in this game is effective and fast.

- I heard there's a server browser, will that be selectable from the game's UI?

- This must be Valve's most consolized UI ever. At least it doesn't entirely suck, but a UI more along their other Source games would be better.

- I find myself charging into battle too frequently and unnecessarily. So I end up attracting the horde and getting friendly fire from teammates. :whistle:

- There was this one game last night where at the first level, this one guy ran FAR ahead of us and set off a car alarm while we were all still cooped up inside the house. :laugh:

Yeah just noticed that and ordered a copy! :) Save ?10 over the steam price. Why is it released on the 21st for the DVD copy when it is released on the 17th on steam?

Because it encourages people to buy the Steam version rather than waiting and thus they get more ???.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.
