I was always of the opinion that people to whom English is a second language make better use of it than most native speakers.

Really not always, but with (good) writing it can mean that they put a lot of thought into what they write that a native speaker might take for granted. some plague rats posted:"I'm hampered by reality" is an absolutely excellent way to explain why you don't like someone It explains a lot about his personality and relationships in one sentence, too.

I like the half life comic! It's interesting to read the comics on how it's made, and the behind scenes photos are fun.Hempuli posted:Lies, Sisters and Wives I think it's an okay size

The New Adventures of the Duck Avenger       "the in-universe mechanics are totally internally consistent in complex ways, it just happens that our focal characters aren't interested in them" is a tried and true narrative device, but I appreciate that they went the extra mile and had all the technobabble on panel regardless also raider is back, still fabulous as hell

I wish we had a [collapse] tag or something because some of these author notes are getting really long Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman 060  E-mail is back up and working again. The first time I heard that there would be drivable vehicles in HL2, I was a bit skeptical. Vehicles just seemed a little too Unreal Tournament-ish for the Half-Life experience. Happily, I was completely wrong, and the vehicle chapters are just about my favorite parts of the game. Water Hazard is great fun to play, in fact, it's probably the chapter I've played the most. You spend most of it fleeing at top speed while metrocops, APCs, and helicopters hound you at every turn. There are several places to stop and explore on foot, too, and it seems like every time I play I discover something new, some little ammo cache or hidden nook or some out-of-the-way bit of staging. The other night I was playing the level, and had gotten out of the airboat in a marshy area to poke around. As I was walking around, I startled some crows who'd been behind some reeds. They flapped away, and when I went over to where'd they'd been perched, I found the charred corpse of a citizen I'd otherwise have missed. Nice (though grim) little touches like that are part of what makes the game so rewarding to explore again and again. Add in a couple more physics puzzles, some great music, and of course, the point in the chapter where you finally gain the means to fight back against those drat relentless choppers, and Water Hazard is just a blast, start to finish. 061  Back in June, Paul from hlportal.de suggested in an e-mail that I do a comic based on the new HDR(dead link) lighting effects. Here it is, finally. After doing the comic, I booted up Day Of Defeat: Source, thinking, you know, maybe I should actually check out firsthand the HDR I had just mocked. Since it's a little hard to detect changes in lighting while the German Wehrmacht are flanking you, I started a server and ran around on my own for a bit. First, I thought I'd try it without turning HDR on. Checked out the map for a few minutes, looked at everything, tried out some guns. Then, I opened the options panel to turn HDR on. Uh, wait. It WAS on. It had been on the whole time. The HDR effects, contrary to my comic's suggestions, are incredibly subtle. Once you notice them, they become a bit more obvious, but all in all, if you weren't looking for them you probably wouldn't see them. Now, I'm not sure why you'd have them on in a multiplayer game like DoD, since the slightest slow-down or distraction will get you riddled with bullets by other players who don't have their own HDR turned on. You're not gonna get blinded like the cops in the comic, but your framerates may suffer a bit if you don't have a fast enough rig, and moving from darkness to light or vice-versa does give you a very realistic moment of adjustment, and while it's remarkable how well they captured it in HDR, it's not the sort of thing a substandard player like myself needs to worsen his already awful chances of survival in multiplay. But in a single-player game, especially one with already gorgeous graphics like Half-Life 2? I would definitely have HDR on. I honestly cannot wait to see Lost Coast at this point, and I really hope they somehow go back and add HDR to Half-Life 2 itself. It's the kind of thing you may not really notice until you turn it off, at which point you'll miss it. It's just really neat. Back to DoD: Source. Holy cow, that is a mind-blowing amount of fun. I joined a server because I wanted to try out the German MG42 on something other than flowerpots. About ten minutes later, I realized it was four hours later. It was a little hard to get into at first, what with the realistic weapon recoil that caused me to perforate a lot of clouds but few opponents, but once I adjusted it was just a ridiculous amount of fun. The maps are brilliantly designed, with lots of choke-points, cover, great sniping positions, and most importantly, ways to flank those sniping positions. There are some players who are good enough to just run willy-nilly through the maps, killing everyone in sight, but for the most part, players were working together, covering each other, and slowly advancing on the capture points during some hellish close-quarter firefights. Great game. 062

The art in Lies Sisters and Wives is a really interesting midpoint between the rough-but-functional Hitmen style and the more consistent & cleaner style in TDBC and on
