    I’m not the smartest person in the world nor the dumbest but I’ve just noticed that Episode Two has motion blur. This could have been included weeks or even months ago but I only noticed it a couple of days ago.

    Makes me wonder what other features I’ve missed.

    Nightmare House 2 is a free, horror-themed first person shooter modification, and the direct successor of “Nightmare House”.

    The story resumes with the player lost and confused in a hospital known as “Never Lose Hope”. With no understanding of how you came to be there, there’s only a vague memory of the mysterious, haunting girl from Nightmare House. Soon it will be difficult to determine between a dream and reality. How long will it take you to realize that escape is not an option?

    You’ve probably seen the recent Portal 2 videos and news about the voice of Wheatley; the companion in Portal 2.

    When they first released a video it apparently had one of Valve workers voicing the part and , at least for me, I thought he did a great job. However, then came the announcement that Stephen Merchant was doing the voice.

    In shock news today we hear that Brad Pitt has been dumped by Angelina Jolie, but the news doesn’t stop there, oh no!

    Apparently Angelina has been having an affair behind Brad’s well oiled and muscular back, with none other than City 17’s incredible Dr. Breen.

    We chat about a number of different things and I challenge him on why those last two chambers are so freaking hard!

    Enjoy.

  • Poll Question 186 – Should mods release demos?

    I originally used to believe that the bigger mods should release demos. I viewed things from the perspective of retail sales. A player is a customer and a mod a product. Players “pay” for their mod by the time and effort of downloading and keeping up to date.

    To convince players that they should play a particular mod, a demo could be used to show how good a mod is. I no longer believe that’s true.

  • What have the Combine ever done for us?

    · City 17 Times, Read · 27 Replies

    When patrolling through the streets of our beautiful city, I often hear the mumbling and grumbling of ungrateful citizens. The most common question I hear is “What have the Combine ever done for us?”. I can’t help but think back to our decadent days and ways and the first thing that springs to mind is Monty Python’s scene from the Life of Brian.

    So, let’s take a moment a think about what the Universal Union have done for us.
