Excuse me WHAT
You can buy the ORIGINAL Sims game on Steam now?
You can buy the Sims 2 on Steam now, too?
AND THEY BOTH COME WITH ALL THE EXPANSION PACKS AND STUFF????????
???????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!?
I don’t care how glitchy it sounds like they are; I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
Edit: Nate bought me The Sims 2 Legacy as a birthday present. He has no idea what he’s done.
Edit again: I modded the everloving shit out of my original Sims 2 game; I wonder if I have all those mods somewhere and if they’d work in this game…
Edit again again: OF COURSE IT WAS
Q: Who’s the most boring Steam member?
A: I am! I am!
I’m actually surprised Half Life isn’t one of my top three.
THEY’RE CLASSICS FOR A REASON, LEAVE ME ALONE
Fight me.
Modern games just don’t compare, man. Quake is amazing.
BLACK MESA: The Update
THIS FREAKING GAME IS FANTASTIC.
I’ll post more about this when I don’t feel like crap (I’ve got a really bad headache right now), but here are some of the things that are great:
- Better graphics. WAY better graphics. Like, holy crapples.
- More diverse set of scientists. It’s not just the same three guys and a gaggle of their clones.
- The scientists/security guards are hysterically snarky towards Gordon. It’s fantastic.
- While most of the game is the same, there ARE some new/different parts, which is great because I’d basically memorized the original and could go through it quite easily.
- Gordon Freeman is still very much Gordon Freeman.
WOO!
BLACK MESA
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
WHY THE HELL HAD I NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE?
Half Life is my favorite game, dudes. I want this.
Edit: Nate bought this for me. Nate makes bad life decisions.
TWSB: Portals, Portals, Everywhere and Not a Cake to Eat
Matt, This Week’s Science Blog is for you, ‘cause I know you really dig Portal.
Here on the Steam forums is a list of Portal physics answers (warning: not devoid of childish internet arguing and name-calling).
I like the crushing one (the second scenario). This stuff makes me want to play around with Garry’s Mod.
Speaking of Garry’s Mod…
Just a little tidbit of the internet to lighten your day. My day’s pretty much sucked, at least, so I hope yours is going better.
I downloaded Steam and it downloaded my soul
So for all the PC gamers out there, I totally recommend downloading Steam. Sean was trying to get me to do so for the longest time and I never did, but for whatever reason, today I decided I *needed* to play around with Garry’s Mod, so I downloaded Steam and verified my old Half-Life CDs.
It’s pretty rad.
ALSO I can now play Deathmatch Classic, which is like my favorite thing ever. I also totally own at it, too.
