Have any of you ever been to the "show you around the office - meet and talk to employees" stage of an interview and not get the job? I feel like that would just be cruel.

I don't have a mac anymore so I have no horse in this race but I've always been a computer/gaming enthusiast so in that way I find it interesting.

Though there is a bit of schadenfreude watching the mac-hating/PC-fanboi community lose one of its standard pillars of hate.

8 hours? wtf? explain. did you get the job?

I installed all the mods and it does make a pretty significant difference.

This is my first time playing it, which is weird considering I played Half-Life when it came out and was into PC gaming by then.

It seems we are on the same mission Sentura.

This is the most current set of tweaks I could find so far (march 25 2010):

Are there any mods to bump up the graphics for DeusEx? I just googled it and the 3rd result brought me to this haha

Anything new since?

He's so very wrong. VG is one of the few existing mediums with tons of artistic potential.

If iTunes made my homepage apple.com and installed ask toolbar I would still do it for iTunes University.

Well hopefully not anymore. The Senate just passed some semblance of health care reform an hour ago.

You should all visit America soon! You can slip and fall and we'll fix your leg instead of burying you alive

I've thought about buying porn but it feels so dirty in a 70's way. I think I would only do it if a girl was involved in the process

Nah I don't think there's anything wrong with watching something that someone else pirated.

Just curious. Also, almost everything you could pirate offers some kind of demo so I didn't make "Yes but I'll eventually support what I pirate if I use it." If you pirate you pirate, no points for promising to make it up one day

Sometimes:

Convenience

I think the price is unfair

Only small or obscure things

Only games, Only movies, Only screeners, Only albums, Only songs, Only magazines, Only ebooks, etc etc

I'm really more interested in the people who no longer do it. How long has this been your opinion? Did you start to find it unethical? Did working in the game industry change your opinion? Is the hassle just not worth it when you? Is it for the media/box? Was your ISP threatening to cut off service? How strong is your conviction? What else?

Not to thread hijack but does anyone else lament the decline of the history channel? Everything now is either about nazis or stupid shit like STALIN VS THE ANCIENT GREEKS.

A couple years ago I downloaded all the episodes of How It's Made and never looked back.

After reading that review I'm wondering....were there any other games that pulled off the "so bad it's good" thing? I've found redeeming qualities in shitty games but I'd never say the game itself was good. It's like how I enjoy watching youtube videos of Big Rigs but I would never play it myself.

Now all I want to see is 1973 Gordon Freeman.

Also in honor of steam here is a 7 year old thread about how much steam sucks.

The comments are better than the post. Coincidentally this forum is almost exactly as old as steam.

for those with no patience start at 3:17 with that magnificent cigarette lighting

FBI SPECIAL AGENT FRANCIS YORK MORGAN. PLEASE JUST CALL ME YORK.

This game looks absolutely hilarious. Purchased.

TF2 on the mac is more than enough to make me happy.

insta has taken the lead
