The first alpha gameplay footage from War Z (very similar game to DayZ) has finally come out.  Looks awesome!

Black Mesa release date: September 14

We're freaking out over here! It is so exciting to share this news with you!

You can now Download the Black Mesa Soundtrack, courtesy of our very own Joel Nielsen, at the very generous price of whatever you want! Enjoy and share!
In the near future you'll see our Website, Wiki and Forums all taken down temporarily for renovations.
On September 14th you will see the first release of Black Mesa! This will include our re-envisioning of Half-Life all the way up to Lambda Core. We believe this is a great way to provide a complete-feeling 8-10 hour experience with a solid ending, make our fans happy and help us make the best overall game possible.

We are still working hard on Xen and BMDM, but instead of making you wait we are giving you Black Mesa as soon as it's ready! We're doing our best to help bring the immense vision of this project into reality, and we are very excited for what the future brings!

High-Fives Yo,
Carlos Montero - Project Leader

I'll believe it when I'm playing it.

How do you people get these coupons from Steam? Do they just give them to you?
I only listen to electro-post dubprog.  You've probably never heard of it.

You usually get them from holiday events/sales. More recently, I think you could get them as drops from TF2's Mann vs Machine mode.

Added you. The coupon expires in a week.

It says I got it because Portal 2 just got a update for custom made co-op maps.

Thank you! :tup

Will the discount show up in a notification or something, or does it not show up until Checkout? I've never bought anything on Steam except free shit before.

Looks like Ubisoft finally decided to cut back on their DRM officially. The interview is pretty brutal.

EA tried to buy Valve for 1 billion.

I thank everything that is holy and stuff that that didn't happen.
Although if that had happend we would probably already be way into Half Life 6: clone edition.  :lol

Yo Vox, you should probably consider someone else, since I'm having a lot of trouble trying to coordinate this. Sorry man, hope you can find someone.

Yeah... I'm not paying $300 to play a bunch of games that I've already played.

And?

My point wasn't the console price tag, but rather the software that it's been announced. And if you're not a Wii-only player, you've probably played all the games they have coming out except the first party stuff.

Also this, for that same price you can buy a 250GB 360 which is a much powerful hardware.

EDIT: The 32GB Wii U price, that is.

That's kinda what I was thinking, too. The screen on the gamepad is old technology, too.

I really want Nintendo to succeed. I think it would be a shame for them to have get out of the hardware game. I can maybe see myself picking up a WiiU when the price drops just so I can play all the Nintendo exclusives I've missed out on since 2008 or so, but man, this doesn't look great. People don't seem too excited.

Also, why isn't there a pack-in game for the cheap version? So many people bought the Wii JUST to play Wii Sports. They should have tried to replicate that in some way.

One would think that the Nintendo Land game would be Wii U's Wii Sports, but no you have to spend $50 more for it.


Also, say the Wii U fails, do you guys see Nintendo going the Sega route and only doing games for home console (they undoubtedly own the handheld market)? I wouldn't mind that at all, they obviously still can make pretty fantastic first-party games.

Yeah, definitely. Like a way better Sega. It's hard to imagine, though, playing Zelda on an Xbox.
