God , I remember all the other kids used to play Runescape. Even back then I thought it looked like gak. I was always in the Club Penguin camp. It made me very popular with the girls, but seeing as I was 10 the humour was lost on me.
Also, can I say I do not see what all the fuss over the original Deus Ex is? Sure it looks like a fun game and I'd like to try it, but...I dunno, it just looks like another Half-Life style, "edgy" shooter.
Except for where it's mainly a stealth RPG right?

I dunno. I've never played it. I want to, but...I dunno. Like a lot of games from that sort of era, like System Shock and the like, the really primitive 3D graphics make it kinda hard to take seriously though. Like Half-Life-great game I'm sure, but goddamnit it looks awful.
I still want to play it though.

Aye, but I'm talking about the base games themselves. At the end of the day you could mod the PC version of Call of Duty into a space flight simulator if you worked hard enough. I'm solely judging the games by, well, the games as they are.
Although, like I say, I haven't played them yet, although I want to.

There's going to be an official release of the Sven mod for half-life co-op. You should just wait for that and play through with a friend.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

And remember, you are talking about a team of fledgling modders doing this in their spare time, and not being paid to do so.
Can't wait for Stadium and Heroes of Half-life.

Shoosh, every time you mention it, three children are sacrificed to the G-Man and the release date gets pushed back 5 years.

That actually seems quite legit. I remember how much my hopes went up when Portal 2 was released....but alas...
