The Unofficial Official Chat Thread

Valve’s done a pretty good job at filmmaking so far without either detracting from or relying on the game’s experience. (The Meet The Team videos, the L4D/2 intros)

I imagine a HL/Portal film would stay separate from the timeline and main plot of the games, a look at the initial GLaDOS incident at Aperture or the 7 hour war, perhaps.

IIRC, the only reason they never let anybody make a HL movie was because all the scripts they got offers with were crap.

I would actually like to see movies of both those things you mentioned. I feel a movie over the 7 hour was would be just plain awesome and a movie about Aperture before and up to when GlaDOS gassed the place would be cool too.

I still haven’t played Black Mesa…

I haven’t played since I beat the tentacle.

Once again, my tea tastes like dishwater.

This time it really is the dishwater doing it, though.

I don’t know why but just seeing the word tentacle made Day of the Tentacle pop into my head even though I’ve never had that happen before thinking about HL or BM’s tentacles

awesome level 1000

Ye. But what does it do and why does it need so many redundant steps?

Kinda the point of a Rube Goldberg machine.

It’s even more insane when you think about the amount of power it would take to run the whole thing. While objectively pointless, it’s still amazing that someone had the patience and knowledge to get it working.

Dragonborn has a lot of tentacles, too.

I know some mangas and animes with a lot of tentacles, too.

Damn, I haven’t seen this much snow here in ages.

I shoveled about 200 square feet at the end of the driveway with a hand shovel. My father got around 1200 square feet with a snow thrower in the same time.

It’s like 50 F and sunny here in Ohio. There’s a little bit of snow and ice left over from when it snowed last but now much.

i long for warmth

everyone needs a sauna in their house

That’s what she said.

Yay my classes are cancelled so I don’t have to drive through the snow

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
