I've been playing Q*Bert Rebooted (mainly original Q*Bert as the Rebooted version isn't particularly interesting. I also started up Grim Fandango Remastered. I remember loving the original when it came out, but wow.... this has aged like mayonnaise. The script is still good but everything else is rough. Loss of mouse based controls are a big hit too.

My son loves that q-Bert game, but mostly for the rebooted part.

I spent half my money in Forza Horizon 4 on making a 500kw Golf GTI mark 1, but I'm not sure why.

I also played some Sky and Devil May Cry 3.

Returned to my play through of Okami HD on the Xbox One and playing more Astral Chain on the Switch.

Am really enjoying AC. You have the standard Platinum Games excellent action gameplay sections but you also have parts where you play a bit of a detective role talking to various people, getting clues from them, and analyzing things around you.

I've been playing Asphalt 9 in small bursts.  Really enjoying it.  An interesting feature is that you can upgrade your cars and they've got an overall score.  Each race you can take on has a recommended score as well, meaning that you can kind of set your own challenge.  On the other hand, some races might only allow for say American brands to partake, and if your only American car is highly overleveled for the challenge, well, there's little you can do than just destroy all competition.

How does Steam prevent the development of Half-Life? Uneasy

Hell, Half-Life 2 and the two episodes, not to mention the two Portals and Garry's Mod were all made and released post-Steam.

Yeah they started Steam right before HL2. Not many people cared about it at the time, it wasn't the near monopoly then that it became. You don't think if they never came out with Steam, or if the service just flopped & Valve had to make money by focusing on developing games, that they wouldn't have come out with numerous HL games by now? Cmon man.

That's like saying Konami finding a money trove in pachinko machines doesn't have anything to do with them pulling away from game development.

I am obviously happy it's VR only, rather them focus to make a revolutionary VR game than some half attempt. But maybe down the line they make some regular version.  Trailer was great, still don't see anything new and I didn't even see any locomotion though they confirm it's free move so that's good. But holy shit it's a new Half life, I'm super excited!

Gonna have to wait & see if it's actually incredible & not just a pretty gimmick. It LOOKS great, but whether it's a revolution or not we'll see. Reminds me of Mirror's Edge in VR.

I wouldn't want "some regular version" either, as you put it (Mr VR elitist over here...haha) I would rather have an actual real, fully fleshed out 20+ hour long Half Life 3. Which maybe this is working up to.

If your point is that they'd be making Half-Life games for revenue if Steam didn't exist, I agree. Which actually supports my argument: Half-LIfe Alyx is VR not to sell Rifts, but out of creative interest.

oh wow this finally works again while I can't do gaming, k, whatevs. VR sucks, so does the idea of Half Life VR. It is the worst thing you could do with a FPS as it robs FPS of what little dynamism they have left since the genre was ruined by consoles. I blame tomas for this.

I dunno about that. Half-Life 2 is pretty much the worst thing you can do with an FPS. Valve's games that aren't FPSs are cool, though.

Bk, no neck or back injury? Numb and tingle is usually a nerve issue unless somehow that was crushing your circulation but in that case the feeling would go away very soon after. You might have gotten a stinger on some nerve root in the spine. How do you feel now?

I think it was me hyperventilating and overstretching my muscles. I've only hyperventilated twice before, once I was sick and couldn't breathe. One time at the gym when I pushed myself too hard. It was the only thing that stopped me panicking, as I had no chest pain, so I just kept thinking that it will subside. I still feel a bit sore in my limbs but its getting better.

Scary that I couldn't speak, I wanted to tell the other person to call an ambulance but I couldn't even speak or move.

If this point in time is no good for you, I'm sure we can all wait for tomorrow. You can tell us all about your views on the matter tomorrow.

What about sometime next month?

EDIT: I tried to find some of my old posts about Half-Life 2. This was all I could find.

Well there goes the dream. I had been updating using my phone but now the editor appears in the title box I can no longer click and drag to cut out the excess words because of the character limit
