@graf @stoner713 @Titanbreakerkun @joao I really need to reinstall a matrix client.
@stoner713 @joao I dunno. What do you call this thing?
@stoner713 @Titanbreakerkun @joao And now Poast Beta just went down. SUSPICIOUS.
@Terry That can't be on the aircraft carrier, can it? That looks like a gas station bathroom.
@Terry It looks like the cheapest toilet at Home Depot.
@WandererUber @wizardmanperson Your writing makes you sound both 20 and 40 at the same time, it's confusing.
@WandererUber @wizardmanperson If you had played these games on release, you wouldn't be confused as to why HL2 is so loved. Thinking maybe my post was a waste of good faith.
@WandererUber @wizardmanperson The objects in HL2 had weight, momentum, and buoyancy that the player interacted with. Until then it was just visual. A couple examples, the puzzle that has you moving floating barrels under a ramp to lift it up was something no one had been able to pull off until then. Carrying an object like a lawn gnome with you for (nearly) the entire game wasn't possible in any other game at the time.
I'd have to replay Far Cry, but I don't remember ever interacting with the physics in the environment. I mostly remember the fight with the helicopter. I don't think I've played Painkiller.
Everyone wanted to say Crysis was the spiritual sequel to Far Cry and reviews said it was gorgeous, but *no one* had a PC capable of running it. It was a running gag on review sites because none of the consumer level hardware could run it. Far Cry 2 had realistic fire and ran on an affordable PC.

@wizardmanperson @WandererUber You guys probably should be talking to an old fag about this because a lot of nostalgia pieces are garbage. That said, that entire year was absurd. I was at the store buying a game every other paycheck.
HL2 was the first game to have proper physics for most everything in the environment. Valve did an incredibly good job making the Source engine and the gravity gun was fun as hell. The level design never took the controls away but they knew how to get you looking at the action at the right time. The puzzles felt logically in place and weren't just some bullshit slapped in your way.
Also Far Cry was pretty, but that's all it really had going for it. It wasn't until Far Cry 2 that the series got its legs.

@cjd @LawrenceGerald Hell yeah brother
@cjd @LawrenceGerald Oh and don't be turned off when it says "not for human consumption". That's there because jews want you getting listeria from the processed shit.
@cjd @LawrenceGerald Mozzarella, ricotta, cottage cheese, yogurt, cream cheese, and sour cream are really, really easy to make from raw milk. Not to mention it tastes better and is much better for you. I highly recommend it. I buy a gallon a week for $12 and it's worth every penny.
@cjd @LawrenceGerald Thank you. Wife and I have been trying to make our own pizzas, but crust has been store bought. Homemade mozzarella from raw milk has been a real treat.
@cjd @LawrenceGerald AP flour? Active dry yeast?

@heytomjones @Terry @Sargent_s_laughter @TrevorGoodchild @catmanmancat My favorite line is "Some of these women were paid" as if that does anything more than add another bank account to the investigation.
