Sweet Ass Deal from Valve

Proximity — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 02:13:13 +0000

Alright, time for all you slackers out there who shamefully haven’t played many of Valve’s products to put up or shut up. Valve recentely created the Valve Complete Pack on Steam and cranked the price down to $99. While some of you are saying “WTF a hundred bucks?”, you can shut up now because this pack just might be one of the best collections of video games ever made. I will be brutally honest with you and say that Counter-Strike pretty much made me the gamer I am today, and you can’t beat the single player action of ANY of the Half-Life games.

Go buy this now and support people in the industry who actually make quality products and don’t shovel out shit games *coughEAcough*.

Max Payne Theatrical Trailer

I loved the Max Payne games, basically cause the compelling story line. The game play wasn’t bad either. And with every Video Game to Movie transition you can usually tell how shitty its going to be by the Trailer and if Uwe Boll is going to direct it…..which he is not. So here you go, what do you think.

Last Heavy Unlock: The Sandvich

Proximity — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:02:05 +0000

The Sandvich was revealed today to be the last heavy unlock. It replaces the shotgun, gives the heavy 120 health when he consumes it, but it takes 4 seconds to consume it and he is defenseless. This might make heavies just a little more reliable when they aren’t being leashed by a medic.

New Style of Gameplay

Well apparently we get some new maps called Arena. Sounds like deathmatch style. Im loving the new map visuals, reminds me of Montana. “Great care was taken to ensure the art style kept to the unique look and time period of the TF2 universe, while still feeling like a departure from the usual maps players are familiar with.”

Heavy Achievements Released

Proximity — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:58:27 +0000

Valve released the details of the heavy achievements at the K.G.B.+Achievements page today. Still not the big Monday update we are looking for, but from looking through the acheievements we can see that the heavy will either get a new taunt or one of his exhisting taunts will be able to kill people, and possibly involve a sandwich.

Second Heavy Unlock Unvieled: Natasha

Proximity — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:07:20 +0000

Today valve released the second heavy unlock, named Natasha. She does 25% less damage, but she slows you down while your taking fire. Sounds exciting, I’m glad to see that Valve is adding little tweaks to the weapons instead of dramatically changing the game.

New Payload Map Revealed

Proximity — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 21:05:03 +0000

Valve released information on the new payload map, Badwater Basin, today. Being that I love goldrush, I think this will be an awesome map to add to the cycle. Although, an underwhelming shove of community maps and one lame unlock is thus far putting a kink in my excitement for the Heavy update. Good time to be a spy or a medic though!

First Heavy Unlock Revealed

Proximity — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 19:32:20 +0000

The Killing Gloves of Boxing (or K.G.B.) will give a heavy five seconds of guaranteed crits after he kills someone with them. This means you can keep punching and have a crit steamroll coming from his fists!

This is looking to be a MASSIVE update from valve, with seven new maps and even a new gameplay mode. It goes live Tuesday, August 19th so get ready!

Heavy Update Coming Soon

Proximity — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:08:17 +0000

Looks like in the next week or two we should have our hands on a heavy update. Valve is realeasing information on the update in little chunks at The Heavy Update page.

Keep checking, hopefully some cool information will be popping out of Valve.

Weekly Clix0rs - July 9th, 2008

Proximity — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:26:39 +0000

This week’s Clix0r brings you some computer mods, a sequel or something, worthless operating systems, our half year in review, and Harrison Ford captured in plasticonite.

Team Fortress 2 Dispenser Mod - bit-tech.net. Some guy made a dispenser for TF2 designed to hold a computer. Why would you do that? I would make a dispenser that was designed to dispense sandwiches or SOMETHING. Regardless, pretty cool and I tip my hat to him.

Diablo 3 - blizzard. The speculation was right, Blizzard announced Diablo 3. They also have plenty of gameplay videos and other fun stuff. Just don’t be the whiney internet bitches complaining about the environment. It’s DIABLO man.

Call of Duty 4 Coming to the Mac! - #!/usr/bin/m3mnon. Props to a platform getting a game seven months after it was released for everything else. I mean seriously. I’ve already been obsessed and gotten over this game. But hey! It’ll run at 13 frames per second! Kind of sounding alot like my Wii. . .

Video game reviews: The best of 2008 (so far…) - telegraph. A good synopsis of some of the better games on the list. Although, I found it funny that Brawl was on there. I bought it, played it twice, and haven’t touched it since.

Zero Punctuation: LEGO Indy - the Escapist. Everyone’s favorite angry Australian Yatzee gives his thoughts on LEGO Indiana Jones.
