Just completed the Leaked Copy's SP. IT was long, hard, challengine, enjoyable, and bloody funny (thanks to wheatly and his English sarcastic/witty humor). Loved it SO much, and played about 5 test chamber's of Coop with friends today. Damn, easily the best game of the year so far!

e: Ending won't disapoint, also, the ending song won't either ;).

Thought i'd mention, if you can't talked about pirated movies or software. I doubt you'd want to mention you played a pirated game.

I will be on my way to wal-mart to pick up my copy shortly. Going to see if they will price match bestbuys 34.99$ on the pc version.

From what I understand, it is okay to talk about pirated games in the gamers' hangout forum, as long as you don't provide any info on obtaining them.

I find it hilarious that the game that took the most time, didn't even take 10 minutes off the countdown.

heh, I'd argue that no matter how many games were done, this was always going to be the release time, hense why completing it so late hasn't really made much difference.

Just purchaced Portal 2... w00t, got Portal 1 for free (?)... too bad I already had it xD

You guys might argue a bit that it didn't take much time off, but 1, it's distracted a least a few of the whiners. 2, It has taken around ten hours off of the countdown. If you scroll up in the text box, you see the original release time. Then above it is the "recalculated" one. ~45 minutes now vs 10hr, 8min. And regardless, I do see Valve unlocking it early, once the 'computations' are complete.

I heard that if you have all 36 potatoes you get all VALVe games for free and get to play Portal 2 as soon as you have 'em all :shiftyninja:

<snip>

That's true. A friend of mine got all the potatoes and Portal 2's been unlocked for him, along with all of VALVe's games.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.

      That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list.
