tango alpha delta posted:You are not only wrong about half-life but about "kinema" as well. It's simply an alternate spelling of cinema that was used in the mid 20th century by the UK and Germany. His Half Life opinions are garbo but he's not wrong about the origins of the word. 'Cinema' or 'Cinematograph' originates from 'Kinematograph'....'Kinema' meaning movement and implying motion-picture.

No, I was mistaken, the word kinema is indeed an ignorant misspeling of cinema by stupid Germans who have since invented an explanation about ancient Greek origins or something (whoever has heard about "Greece"? That should have tipped me off) Anyway, the point stands, Half Life is a treason against games except for the intense trolley and Xen sections. Good Gamers always admit their mistakes - Gamer sign off!

What pissed me off was how the tentacle AI was broken and the ichty didn't have his trademark roar, especially the latter problem. Like, how can you gently caress up the scariest part of the game like that?

If you just purchase their monthly pack as a one time gift so they don't charge you every month then sometimes you can get some good game deals that way.

It's just random. Sometime it's all trash, sometimes lots of good games in one. I think it's just more obvious because they seemingly have been more aggressively advertising, whereas before good bundles only came onto my radar via word of mouth.

As bad as Humble gets (and at this point I get more value out of their book bundles and even those aren't great anymore), the other indie game bundlers are a dozen times worse. Every few months I might get some games in a Humble Bundle, the others are just complete and utter shitpiles.

I've gotten some extremely good deals with other bundlers, like a shitload of EU4 expansions that normally cost $5-$20 for $1 each. These things are always YMMV, there won't always be good bundles like the Total Warhammer humblemonthly

Turret Defense, Stacked Cannon Defense, Lurker Defense, Bunker Defense. Simpsons Madness/ Super Smash Brothers W/ Mass attack. Special Forces/Starship Troopers. There was some amazing poo poo in there, it's no wonder a lot of that stuff's still going in some form on Starcraft 2's arcade stuff. Also 7v1 BGH comp stomps were amazing. A solid 80% of them turned into a defacto game of werewolf, trying to find the person who unchecked 'Allied Victory'. Good times, good times.

All Castlevania games before SotN were bad, even the stiff SNES one. The Genesis/PC-Engine one gets a pass, but every other title is not worth playing.

Dross posted:I never understood the point of these or why they were so popular. Well, because it was recorded on your profile as a win. People just wanted cheap wins on their record and for who knows what reason that would count. Why 7v1 and not just like, 3v1? Because it you didn't have to change maps (a lot of people just played BGH day in, day out) and it eliminated any question of where the computer was, so you could rush them the fastest. Yeah it was really stupid. My brother has long been a notorious troll in every game he's played and he had a field day with these. He would always join them and un-check allied victory, then feign ignorance. He made it his goal to end the match with any many players eliminated as possible.
