Morning Discussion: Holiday Edition

by Alice O'Connor, May 31, 2010 5:00am PDT

Today is a holiday in both the USA and the UK--Spring Bank Holiday in the UK and Memorial Day in the USA--so we'll be running a little light on coverage but rest assured, we will have a few things to help you avoid working. Everywhere else, we apologise.

Like zombies? 'drMikey' sends word that he is selling prints of the acrylic painting that won him an honourable mention in our recent Left 4 Dead art contest. Brain-tastic.

Yeouch. Apparently switching to the new source engine has introduced a veritable shit ton of bugs into the game. I'm going to hold off on a re-playthrough until some of these get fixed.

  That stupid auto-centering issue with the buggy was getting on my nerves the other night. The other thing that gets on my nerves is how stupid I am for replaying Half-Life. I decided after the monumental cock-slap that was the Episode 2 cliffhanger, I was going to wait until Episode 3 before playing through the Half-Life series again.
  
  But then Valve enables the console achievements in the PC version and I start replaying it without hesitation. Seriously what the fuck is that all about?
