Have you ever had your hype killed?

That’s a good question…

Sega did announce Vanquish for PC, it is a fast paced TPS of course, but the cover system quite swayed me.

Regarding my hunger for western themed games:

The guys behind that MMO indirectly pointed middle finger at R*, for not serving the audience on PC. I’m both intrigued and cautious at the same time.

Welp, 'nother dreams crushed…

Out of ALL VIDEO GAME ENGINES, they just had to choose the infamous NightShade.
I’d be fine even with UNITY. Yep, snake oil guys…

I loved battlefront 1 & 2 on PS2…Ten years later EA announce the new Star Wars Battlefront.

The E3 trailer showed Dark Vador killing 3 - 4 guys , 3 others guys shooting Vador’s friends ( i guess ) , 2 spaceships , one AT-DP , one CB-tt controlled by IA and…that’s all?? Where are the others guys???
There was not others guys… 20 vs 20 games… :’( :’(

This might be our only hope, for a proper BF game like that.

Seriously, what’s the big deal with gaming companies and modding?!

90% of Valve games are mods, BF2 was inspired by BF2142 mod, Battlefront was also inspired by Star Wars mod for Bf2142.

And the list goes on…

Yeah, this shows how big companies are so out of touch with their fans.

So I decided to go back and play Fistful of Frags.
The new weapon was added, Spencer Rifle, which was the reason it got me intrigued.

But unfortunately, the shootout game mode implemented cash system to weapons crates…

To those who don’t know: Weapon crates are scattered around the map, and have more powerful weapons, that you can’t choose in the loadout screen. Before the update it took time to open them, making you a sitting duck. Now, they open quickly, but you have to pay money for higher tier weapons…

Oh, dagnabbit… it got so complicated.
Apparently, according to the creator of FoF, it was to reduce luck and crate camping. The community doesn’t like the idea, however the creator insists to stay this way.

Gone is the simplicity of equipping guns, in a relaxing game mode.

If higher tier weapons are such a problem, then why not just create class system or make every weapon equal tier?

Back when I was on vacation in France, me and my father had a cinema ticket left on the last few days so we decided to go watch a film so that the tickets won’t go to waste. Since we had already seen the two other films we decided to watch ‘Spiderman: homecoming’ since it apparently got good ratings, Boy was that a mistake !
Well I guess I wasn’t hyped for that film so it doesn’t count as having my hype killed but it was still a disappointment nonetheless.

From the annoying protagonist who is an incompetent to his stereotypical fat stupid friend who doesn’t have a braincell, the obnoxious not-so-romantic drama build up which leads to nothing and the damn little sh*t who thinks he’s a super hero when he’s nothing. This film does so much wrong I was almost looking at my popcorn the whole time instead of the screen.
Also, didn’t they already make other decent spiderman movies where they already introduced the protagonist ? why did they not continue from these films instead of restarting the whole story and replacing the protagonists with a bloody obnoxious stereotypical film teenager ?

When I saw the start of the film with that badly made ‘video dairy’ from the protagonist I said to myself “Oh no, don’t tell me it’s going to be that kind of film”

Well I guess the lesson is to not watch any Marvel films from now on.

there is a reason i havent gone to cinema in about a year and a half now

the ticket sold during the past year and this year has been declining due to bad movies produced by multibillion companies expects their bad movies would sell like hotcakes.

kids still watch tho.

when i was a teen i watched Starship Trooper instead of these bad super hero movies…

# Episode 3

Dearest Player,

I hope this letter finds you well. I can hear your complaint already, "Gordon Freeman, we have not heard from you in ages!" Well, if you care to hear excuses, I have plenty, the greatest of them being I've been in other dimensions and whatnot, unable to reach you by the usual means. This was the case until eighteen months ago, when I experienced a critical change in my circumstances, and was redeposited on these shores. In the time since, I have been able to think occasionally about how best to describe the intervening years, my years of silence. I do first apologize for the wait, and that done, hasten to finally explain (albeit briefly, quickly, and in very little detail) events following those described in my previous letter (referred to herewith as Episode 2).

To begin with, as you may recall from the closing paragraphs of my previous missive, the death of Eli Vance shook us all. The Resistance team was traumatized, unable to be sure how much of our plan might be compromised, and whether it made any sense to go on at all as we had intended. And yet, once Eli had been buried, we found the strength and courage to regroup. It was the strong belief of his brave daughter, the feisty Alyx Vance, that we should continue on as her father had wished. We had the Arctic coordinates, transmitted by Eli's long-time assistant, Dr. Judith Mossman, which we believed to mark the location of the lost research vessel Borealis. Eli had felt strongly that the Borealis should be destroyed rather than allow it to fall into the hands of the Combine. Others on our team disagreed, believing that the Borealis might hold the secret to the revolution's success. Either way, the arguments were moot until we found the vessel. Therefore, immediately after the service for Dr. Vance, Alyx and I boarded a helicopter and set off for the Arctic; a much larger support team, mainly militia, was to follow by separate transport.

It is still unclear to me exactly what brought down our little aircraft. The following hours spent traversing the frigid waste in a blizzard are also a jumbled blur, ill-remembered and poorly defined. The next thing I clearly recall is our final approach to the coordinates Dr. Mossman has provided, and where we expected to find the Borealis. What we found instead was a complex fortified installation, showing all the hallmarks of sinister Combine technology. It surrounded a large open field of ice. Of the Borealis itself there was no sign…or not at first. But as we stealthily infiltrated the Combine installation, we noticed a recurrent, strangely coherent auroral effect–as of a vast hologram fading in and out of view. This bizarre phenomenon initially seemed an effect caused by an immense Combine lensing system, Alyx and I soon realized that what we were actually seeing was the research vessel Borealis itself, phasing in and out of existence at the focus of the Combine devices. The aliens had erected their compound to study and seize the ship whenever it materialized. What Dr. Mossman had provided were not coordinates for where the sub was located, but instead for where it was predicted to arrive. The vessel was oscillating in and out of our reality, its pulses were gradually steadying, but there was no guarantee it would settle into place for long–or at all. We determined that we must put ourselves into position to board it at the instant it became completely physical.

At this point we were briefly detained–not captured by the Combine, as we feared at first, but by minions of our former nemesis, the conniving and duplicitous Wallace Breen. Dr. Breen was not as we had last seen him–which is to say, he was not dead. At some point, the Combine had saved out an earlier version of his consciousness, and upon his physical demise, they had imprinted the back-up personality into a biological blank resembling an enormous slug. The BreenGrub, despite occupying a position of relative power in the Combine hierarchy, seemed nervous and frightened of me in particular. Wallace did not know how his previous incarnation, the original Dr. Breen, had died. He knew only that I was responsible. Therefore the slug treated us with great caution. Still, he soon confessed (never able to keep quiet for long) that he was himself a prisoner of the Combine. He took no pleasure from his current grotesque existence, and pleaded with us to end his life. Alyx believed that a quick death was more than Wallace Breen deserved, but for my part, I felt a modicum of pity and compassion. Out of Alyx's sight, I might have done something to hasten the slug's demise before we proceeded.

Not far from where we had been detained by Dr. Breen, we found Judith Mossman being held in a Combine interrogation cell. Things were tense between Judith and Alyx, as might be imagined. Alyx blamed Judith for her father's death…news of which, Judith was devastated to hear for the first time. Judith tried to convince Alyx that she had been a double

Speaking of hype killing: look no further than our dearest casual matchmaking!

You thought, there would be balanced matches? Wrong! (they might get better with time, but still)
You thought, the queue will be fast? Why would be someone so silly?
You thought, at least your ping won’t go up in the f*cking sky? Well, think again, because you’re wrong again, my friend!
