Strog vs Skarrj

Strog, for sure.

Geekiest thread ever.

Skarrj really freaked me out as they were revealed in that first Unreal level.

Strog, for sure.
Explain.

Geekiest thread ever.
Nope. This One and This One are the ones to beat in the "geekiest" category. (and, yes, I'm the one that initiated the Vampire one.)

strogg, b/c the female strog monster emits an orgasm-ish noise when she fires a rox0r3t at you! Plus, all the little moves they do are great - the blood-sucking dog scratching its ear etc etc. the skarrj are more badass tho'. I actually got ph34r playing unreal a coupla times. otoh the strogg are better-designed (as seen in thee pic, above) drone drone drone blah/blah/blah. The revenant from "doom" is a harder m/f than any of these though. As is the FUCKING BASTARD HEADCRAB from half-life.

when FPS games start to piss me off, as they inevitably do, i begin to cheat.

Aliens Vs Predator 2, Jedi Knight 2, System Shock, cheat cheat cheat.

Behold this thread: "Dungeons and Dragons Redux"

Strog, for sure.
Explain.

Okay. Strog took like a MILLION fucking missiles to kill, okay? And you had to keep dodging him behind this huge column. He was such a bad mutha. But you took him down! YOU WERE VICTORIOUS! PRAISE THE DAY!

Ever tried to kill a Titan in Unreal at the highest difficulty level? You'll run out of ammo long before you are forced to run away.

Omicron, word up.

It looks to be a pretty good season for PC gaming coming up:

>Half Life 2
>Doom 3
>Halo

Bought a Cube last night, so more gaming fun for me.

i'm still waiting for Call to Duty to hit.

and the UberSoldat from Wolfenstein still beats either:

oh yeah, and if you're reading this thread, then you'd probably care about this:

Half-Life 2 Source Code Stolen
Gabe Newell confirms.

October 02, 2003 - Gabe Newell, Head of Valve Software, creators of the Half-Life franchise, confirmed today that the apparent Half-Life 2 source code leaked today to the Internet is indeed not a hoax, or just a leaked HL2 SDK (Software Developer Kit) which would contain only tools, documentation and some sample code. Valve was able to determine that the code was apparently stolen by someone hacking into their email system and installing keystroke recorders on some systems through an apparent buffer overflow in Outlook's preview pane.

Mr. Newell adds, "What I'd appreciate is the assistance of the community in tracking this down. I have a special email address for people to send information to, helpvalve@valvesoftware.com.

If you have information about the denial of service attacks or the infiltration of our network, please send the details...We at Valve have always thought of ourselves as being part of a community, and I can't imagine a better group of people to help us take care of these problems than this community."

more reasons not to use Outlook, too, i guess.

It is unclear at this moment how the leak will affect the release of the game, and no suspects have been named.-- Tom McNamara

oops. that "more reasons not to use Outlook, too, i guess" is my line.

More details on the stolen Half Life 2 code:

The Debate

Ah, and this is how they did it:
The Heist

Yeah, I heard about that source-code leak. But really, big deal, I think. Everyone comes out a winner from this one year from now. Valve will still make tons of money on the game, and us end-users will have some mods sooner.

i dunno. as my buddy put it, "Basically, there's nothing to prevent major major major cheating now for the lifetime of the game."

and certain mod folks already have the code. Valve wanted mods to be available about the same time as the game was supposed to launch(about 2 days ago, dammit).

Strogg in Quake 4 are a bunch of fuckin' pussies. Fuck 'em.

the "stroggification" scene in quake 4 is kinda neat, tho

Yeah, that was entertainingly gross, as were all the machines incorporating bits of people. That 4-legged walker thing was pretty tough to defeat a couple of times. I couldn't believe how easy it was to take down the makron at the end, though! So lame.
