The picture of the strung up charger in a bayou seems like it might be in bad taste, or not, maybe I’m reading too much into it.
report
You are
Edit:Actually, now that I think about it, you may be thinking the right thing. This *is* a small bayou town, which is about as deep south as you can get.

i got up at 5am human time… silly me forgetting valve time.
oh well… i can’t sleep now.

Valve really needs to get their shit together. You would think that after they blew the release of the demo they would take special care to NOT fuck up the launch of the full game. Instead they hype up the release hour and unceremoniously miss it without having the common decency to tell the people who are up at midnight or later on a weekday when they can expect to play. AGAIN. It’s so incredibly unprofessional.

Steam releases are, in my experience, absolutely never on time.

Wow, the source engine looks good. Certainly blows the HL2 cinematic mod out of the water.

Stupid looking trees have been bugging me in games for years now. Kudos if Valve have finally made them work.
Next stop, realistic hair.

You’re reading too much into it. Racist killings would be far less ceremonially displayed.
Representing Bayou Lafourche! :/

How did he get back down after being blasted into space?

The Great Moustachio is capable of things you can’t even begin to fathom.

Pretty screenies, the lighting effects are nice.
report
What’s with the laser sights?
Also, the chainsaw screenshot set in the swamp looks a lot like someone using a hatchet and Ash’s chainsaw hand at the same time, which made me hopeful until I realised that was just the chainsaw handle.
report
I thought exactly the same thing. I hadn’t even considered dual wielding melee weapons, but after getting my hopes up there I’m all disappointed.
report
You really can’t wait an extra hour?
report
There’s an achievement for carrying the gnome through the game here as well? Thats getting to be a recurring joke in valve games :)
