Evening Reading
by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 05, 2007 8:27pm PDT399 euro PlayStation 3? Sign me up. I paid the same for the 360 back in 2005, so I have no problems with paying this versus the 599 euro they were charging before. The lack of PS2 backward compatibility is a total non-issue for me. Anyway, chow down on these

Engineer on offense, eg CP_GRAVELPIT and CP_DUSTBOWL. Useless beyond belief, here's why: You contribute nothing of actual value to the rest of the team.
"But teleporters, gosh!" WRONG
You would be far more useful as anything that is capable in a fight compared to minor increase in attack rate of at most 1 per 10 seconds for one person. Instead of having a minor boost in speed for that one person you could have whole extra (powerful) gun pointed at the enemies actually defending. Please do something useful instead of "defending" the cap points that can not be taken back.
I hesitate to add snipers to my "no attack because they are useless" list because there are a few rare exceptions where they contribute. For the most part they are not helping much but long range sentry destruction they can do pretty well or eliminating the hidden medic or engineer.

Is it strictly played online? I know that you can solo the game if you want, but the emphasis is on grouping, yes?
It's not an "mmo style" is it? It seems to me it's setup more like Guild Wars than say WoW/EQ, correct? Is there an end game like in Diablo or is it open ended like an MMO?
Is there any PvP?
I've seen videos of first and third person perspectives. Can you switch between them at will, or do you have to have a "gun" in order to do FP?
Are all of the areas instanced? Again, to me it looks like Guild Wars with shared common-areas, but then you go into instanced "play grounds" to do questing. Accurate?

DooM
It was simply amazing.... gameplay, fun factor, sound effects, and music were all top notch. Without Bobby Prince's music... DooM just would not be DooM.

I've been writing stuff like a sonofabitch lately and it's probably about time that I post at least one of them here. Most are in very drafty states and need tweaking and mixing, etc., but my best personal critic enjoyed this one immensely so I thought I'd post it.
Those of you brave enough to give it a listen, please feel free to comment on what style it resembles, because I honestly have no fucking clue.
Anyhoo, here it be:

The file name is actually a commentary on the kick drum sound as I was originally not very pleased with it and it stuck, it doesn't mean the song actually kicks any ass at all.

Cool quote from an interview with Robin Walker and Charlie Brown:
Charlie Brown: It’s been really fun watching the online communities go through a micro version of the passage we’ve all gone through here. It’s like, “Oh, they’re all at the Heavy/Medic phase! They’re soon going to get to the, Holy crap, Snipers kick the crap out of that phase!†They’re saying, “This is too powerful,†and we’re thinking, “Well next week you’re going to find that this destroys that.†It’s really fun to see.
And also this one:
because at this point most of the Spies are still using pretty simple tactics. They haven’t been forced to learn the harder tactics the Spy uses, and as people get more and more experienced dealing with Spies, they’re going to be forced to do that
I love games with layers.

I had goosebumps on multiple occasions, acoustic versisons of classic songs like Starálfur wanted me to cry a bit and the movie was so beautifully shot that Iceland has probably never looked better on film.
Go see this movie if you have any interest at all in Sigur Rós.

If you haven't ever played or heard of MINERVA, it is probably one of, if not, the best single player Half-Life 2 mod out there. It has a fantastically cryptic story (reminiscent of ILoveBees in my opinion), that intertwines with the story of Half-Life, and has some very haunting original music. Give it a shot if you are craving more Half-Life 2 while you wait for Episode 2.
