Morning Discussion
Wednesdays child is, so I'm told, full of woe. Sorry. Such is fate. Thankfully every day is party day on the Internet so Wednesday's children needn't rue the day. With Chris still onboard Mothership GameFly, we'll probably see another more me-y day than usual. It's not quite the Alice O'Connor Shacknews Christmas Special but I'm sure we can all agree that's for the best. What an odd and irritating day of PC coverage that would be.
And hey, if you liked Dear Esther or The Path or such, give the HL2 mod Postscript a look. You might decide it's boring and pretentious, or perhaps you'll find it interesting and enjoyable. It can be nabbed from FileShack. Just don't mention the 'A' word.

replyHey, anybody know if you can buy something from Amazon.com's game download service and add the key to steam?
In particular, this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002WC80M4-

Can you download from Canada?

It's really not worth 5 bucks. More importantly, it's not worth the time you're going to waste trying to convince yourself it's fun but secretly hating your life because your'e wasting it playing a game that could have been so fucking awesome but instead fell flat on it's face by some really stupid design decisions.

Oh don't be so pessimistic. It looks good, at least, and a mid-day boat ride with the Sun almost tangibly beating down on baking rocks, cool river water, and the toasty metal of your bullet-ridden boat is worth $5.
Yes, it's annoying, and immersion-jarring, and a goddamn long hike, and not brilliantly acted, and the weapons manufacturers there have never heard of the term 'stainless steel', and there is no prone position, and the machete should have allowed stealth kills a la Splinter Cell, and the enemies in the cease-fire zone have the senses of an owl, and everyone is so forgetful that the people that took you in at the beginning of the game shoot you on sight if you return, and the plot ends unsatisfactorily, and I haven't really been tempted to do a second playthrough, but still.-
Yes, that was slightly overly critical. I played past the part where the map doubles in size a little bit and just found myself having to force myself to play it because I bought it, not because I wanted to.
I suppose it probably would be worth 5 bucks to play for a little bit, but at this point there's so much other stuff that's better, that you're not really missing anything by passing it up.

If you don't like Far Cry 2 it's basically science that you are 50% banana.

Alice there was nothing that could keep me going through the game, both of the games that I listed did things similiar to far cry (especially red faction) but the design decisions in both games were much better then far cry 2.
Red faction quickly became a "I can just stop after one more mission, just one more." It was fun to play through and I kept want to play through it. After about 3 missions into crysis it became a how can I complete this objective in front of me.
