| Jhoh Cable (5:59:42 PM): Flurf.
Jhoh Cable (6:02:12 PM): http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jccable/gmaneyes.jpg INC (6:05:52 PM): I'm hypnotized Jhoh Cable (6:06:01 PM): http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jccable/kleinerlabstuff.jpg INC (6:06:28 PM): 1 minute until download Jhoh Cable (6:06:33 PM): Horayx. Jhoh Cable (6:06:41 PM): It's way way easy to take screenshots from these bink videos. INC (6:06:53 PM): downloading now :( INC (6:07:58 PM): 24 minutes to go Jhoh Cable (6:08:08 PM): Yes there is lots of waiting. :( INC (6:08:09 PM): I hope the game loads faster than this between levels Jhoh Cable (6:08:19 PM): Well naturally. Jhoh Cable (6:08:25 PM): I'm sure it'll be just like the original HL loading. Jhoh Cable (6:08:28 PM): Less than a minute. Jhoh Cable (6:08:46 PM): Computers have advanced so much now that it's like BAYUM and you're in the next area already in Half-Life 1. INC (6:09:55 PM): what if I'm playing HL2 though? INC (6:10:02 PM): why would it load the next HL1 level? Jhoh Cable (6:10:08 PM): OMG Jhoh Cable (6:10:11 PM): That's part of the secret! INC (6:10:16 PM): a time traveling computer Jhoh Cable (6:10:17 PM): I am not saying that. :( INC (6:10:22 PM): soon you'll be in the next level of Pong Jhoh Cable (6:10:24 PM): I mean that the loading times will probably be the same. INC (6:10:32 PM): oh INC (6:10:37 PM): it's all about streaming now INC (6:10:39 PM): no loading INC (6:10:47 PM): our game is streaming INC (6:10:54 PM): you'll be exhausted when you finish our game Jhoh Cable (6:11:35 PM): ogm Jhoh Cable (6:11:42 PM): The first streamed content game. :) Jhoh Cable (6:11:49 PM): Halo so ripped off HL for that. >:O INC (6:11:57 PM): for streaming? INC (6:12:05 PM): it's not streaming, it's loading (HL) INC (6:12:08 PM): I don't know about Halo Jhoh Cable (6:12:18 PM): Well Halo had some streaming. Jhoh Cable (6:12:28 PM): But then eventually it would break all that shit up with a big fuckin loading screen. Jhoh Cable (6:12:51 PM): http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jccable/gmanghost.jpg INC (6:13:26 PM): I don't need HL2 to be spooky INC (6:13:33 PM): I have every other game ever invented for that Jhoh Cable (6:13:49 PM): But HL2 will of course innovate in its spookiness. Jhoh Cable (6:13:57 PM): In fact, I read some creepy shit in an interview today. INC (6:14:15 PM): as long as I can pick up the spookiness with a gravity gun and throw it into the fire of non-stop action Jhoh Cable (6:14:26 PM): Yes, that is how you will fight it. :) Jhoh Cable (6:14:41 PM): "We wanted people to really be afraid, not 'well, they are telling me I ought to be afraid here but it's really only about as scary as watching the X-Files.' In order to do that we needed to have characters that worked on a much deeper level than the caricatures we created in Half-Life 1. Fortunately it turned out that there is a body of work that exists in psychiatric research about a bunch of non-cognitive functions that you can leverage to convince people's brains that 'this is really a person and I am in the room with them.' So that process of going from a high level concept down to low level implementation is what drove the feature set for Source." INC (6:15:22 PM): that's a load of PR baloney Jhoh Cable (6:15:35 PM): Yeah but it sounds weird. :) Jhoh Cable (6:15:52 PM): They would always mention that doctor guy who they studied about facial expressions from. Jhoh Cable (6:15:56 PM): And it's like OKAY. Jhoh Cable (6:15:58 PM): WHATEVER. INC (6:16:05 PM): yeah, who cares INC (6:16:08 PM): it's a fucking video game INC (6:16:14 PM): just make it play well and make it fun Jhoh Cable (6:16:16 PM): But it would make sense, because it would give you the best reference for knowing how to attach facial expressions to emotions and shit. Jhoh Cable (6:20:05 PM): It creeps me out that they are putting weird shit in the Sorce engine that brainwashes me. Jhoh Cable (6:20:20 PM): I wonder if it would be rendered ineffective if I had a really bad framerate. :) INC (6:20:37 PM): or a small monitor? INC (6:20:41 PM): or a TV on in the background? Jhoh Cable (6:20:56 PM): Perhaps. INC (6:20:57 PM): or any other of 8 million billion reasons PC game don't capture your full attention Jhoh Cable (6:21:09 PM): Yeah but you are forgetting that this is Half-Life 2. Jhoh Cable (6:21:14 PM): Shit doesn't steal attention from HL2. Jhoh Cable (6:21:19 PM): HL2 steals attention from everything else. Jhoh Cable (6:21:37 PM): I could probably be playing Half-Life 2 and then forget to breathe. INC (6:21:45 PM): that would be in the Source engine Jhoh Cable (6:21:50 PM): And then I'll be like, "I'll start breathing again after this part." INC (6:21:52 PM): it also steals your soul Jhoh Cable (6:24:45 PM): It's a good thing that breathing wouldn't interrupt the game playing. Jhoh Cable (6:24:56 PM): Otherwise I would definitely try to hold off from it for as long as possible. Jhoh Cable (6:25:16 PM): OKAY POSTING THIS LOG |
