I don't understand kotaku's score/seems excessively harsh (to stand out the crowd)?

Well, if you're feeling better, you're in the right.

I'm just recently officially in a relationship… and I told yesterday my parents.

I was scared in making it official (I mean have "the talk" with her)… because I don't feel inebriated like I did in the past (which were always vain chases) so I feel a bit like I'm not being completely "honest" with her; there are a couple of friends that when I am with them, "I feel something".

But I like my girl, she's incredibly sweet and supportive, and sometimes I almost feel like I want to say I love her… so I dunno what's going on with me!

I dunno, she feels like the kind of girl i could build something serious with, but I also know that I need to be with other girls first.

Yes, inventory management appears when waiting for a game, on game load I get the home screen.

That's the Inventory screen, see the profile "badge" on the top left... but yeah, I think your question demonstrate what I'm saying about a not optimal UI; notice the lack of highlighting on the main menu, which makes it confusing knowing in what section you are.

Fiddling around I found out you can't exit the game if you are on an Option or Stats screen... which I can understand why it's like that (for the former), but the screens looks like any other: I think there should be a clear separation (like overlay window) if you want this sort of behaviour. Plus Options screen doesn't have tabs like the Inventory I find these dropdowns menu are quite annoying anyway... I'm now curious how they have laid out the console version.

Or why the mapcycle screen is so big, with the "Ok" button so far away, when you just can have a few to select from anyway... if at least you could hit Enter to confirm a mapcycle of choice, but no. And I think you could start a search of a new server more quickly, straight from the in-progress game, or wasn't? Cos being forced to exit to Main Menu to search for a game it's stuff from the stone age.

I dunno, in general the whole system looks confusing to me.

Many EU players literally couldn't play community servers or gamemodes other competitive for two months until the update. The previous system was broken as fuck

Ok but that's simply broken, and it was probably a problem not confined to the client i guess(?)... most definitely not because of the UI.

(also how is showing you your inventory selling items?).

Not sure what you mean?

It's better than not being able to play at all. Plus "Searching for game" on the other side of the screen isn't that confusing.

I don't like "coping", I'm not a fan of "good enough". I think that a game with such a heritage and follow should have it better. I think that getting into a game (which is what I want, but clearly Valve doesn't because they want you to spend on items) was much easier and quick before.

Anyway I couldn't play yday, 200+ ping, totally unresponsive. Plus haven't had any mouse cursor in the community server window, couldn't browse anything different.

Game updated, waiting for a match to be found.

Listen guys, you play often: do you agree with me that the UI of this game is ridiculously convoluted for what it needs to do? I just want to play and first thing i'm presented with the loadout screen... I'm so much annoyed by everything this game has other than the pure gameplay (ugly animations for weapons, questionable choices in modeling, menu-UI).

That I was constantly reminded of Shawn! In Gatwick there's an announcer repeating that abandoned luggage will be inspected and maybe destroyed so often...

Alright, well it's on Netflix or Amazon I think(?) so I should be able to get it easy. (Otherwise I am considering switching to Sky Go anyway) and I need something graphic between the times the gf visits.

I'm planning on catching up on Hannibal, after all the goods… it's just I wanted to first watch all Dexter, I never finished Prison Break, have seen only the first season of Lost, I have in list BSG and try again Game of thrones…!

Waiting luggage to be loaded on plane, flying back home for a brief holiday… I might be able to play a few rounds of CSGO, I wonder how many gigs to update it!

Ender's Game.

Bah, I think it leaves the spectator ungratified. Better the message at the end compared than other similar movies, but still

Gosh, thought those inconsistencies were a thing of the past!

A documentary on brain.

Then I was hyper on sugar and watched Paranoia on Netflix – 5.5 I'd say. A good filler/pizza movie

Prepared the "dirt cheescake" dessert for my 1 year in Britain, friday. Looks quite like the stuff on Pinterest, unfortunately couldn't find jelly worms and we had to go for snakes and Freddo frogs (which i was expecting to be 3D).

anyway, put so much whipped cream in the mix that it was soft almost as a mousse, everybody enjoyed a lot even though I didn't use digestives for the base (which ended up to be crumbly and messy) and the Oreos on top got moist because it stayed too long in the fridge.

Latest trailer is nice (the first sp part at least)

Anselmo sorry, but that spaghetti don't look "al dente" to me sauce is a bit too liquid and I suggest to make it in a pan, so you can stir the pasta in there the last min of cooking

Ps: I remembered after posting: in the behind the scenes book I'm pretty sure they explain they also looked at some CZ maps for visual upgrades inspiration.

Anyway that was a great experience, especially with that final workload.

I think you can write down something like "worked on CZ blablabla some visual and layout upgrades I've contributed to are still traceable in the current version of the game".

What puddy said (with all do respect).

CS:S maps where evolution of CS1.6 according to the "Raising The Bar" artbook… and to me it looks like a CS:GO is an evolution of Source more than anything else.

I wouldn't be surprised that stuff you è contributed is still in there, they must have looked at all CS versions!

There's a temporary crazy golf curse in Shoreditch, with bar and pizza and stalls… probably gonna go tonight after a fondue

lols.

I think Matthew's career turned before both those movies. In Wolf he just has an appearance; in the last years he took on several serious roles so I think it was that, then Dallas Buyer's is the culmination, you can't go higher then winning an Oscar (except winning the Cannes' Palm or Lion at Venice?).

I like Vaugn, one of those underrated actors. I think he can pull interesting performances.
