    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    I am always a fan of the "Gabe and Tycho discuss stuff while doing ridiculous shit which is not commented upon" device.

    In this, I especially like that Gabe is wearing some sort of actual Yoga workout garb while Tycho is still just in his standard uniform.

    I really, really disliked the demo, mainly cuz of the character

    I just cannot stand that forced in-your-face eXtremeness and it kills the entire experience for me

    See, i thought i would find it endearing. like Gears of War. I love that game. the first one. because it si so ridiculously over the top.

    But this the game play wasn't all that great and the character wasn't very interesting so i was bored.

    This comic sums up the general consensus of both demos coming out on the same day extremely well, and also in an extremely humorous fashion.

    I loved how the instant you hit slo-mo everyone was yelling ohhhh shiiiiit even if you were just standing there, doing nothing that would betray the fact that you're superspeedin.

    This was the best part of FEAR

    Bulletstorm's use of slow motion is at least unique in it's own way

    You're slowing one dude down, not the whole world

    And then they fly through the air and you kick them in the balls and shoot them up the butt

    I tried the Crisis 2 demo for like 30 minutes and realized I've played this game before, many times before.

    At least Bulletstorm was kind of funny.

    I love how PA occasionally has G+T doing something interesting visually that has no relation to what they're talking about

    It's as though they're having conversations while doing things, as well as while they sit on couches and play videogames

    SMOD for Half Life 2 has the best bullet time action. And the best everything.

    What was the Counter Strike mod that made everything like a mix of the Matrix bullet time and action movie motifs?

    That mod was balling.

    The Bulletstorm demo was much better than Crysis 2 demo. I certainly played it longer, anyway. I don't know how that kind of gameplay will hold up for me after a few hours.

    I'm about ready for more Half-Life, guess I'll have to replay 2.

    I don't have a problem with excessive swearing. I myself sometimes swear excessively. But the Bulletstorm demo was excessively excessive. Its like they wanted to make sure everyone understands how M rated this game really is. It seemed really juvenile to me. Wasn't really a fan.

    Have not tried the Crysis demo because when I think of Crysis, I do not think of multi-player. I think of killing Koreans on an island with a pimpin' power suit.

    the specialists was a blast but there were never more than like three servers running it

    did they ever make a source mod?

    e: wiki says no

    I just tried the Bulletstorm demo. I agree that the dialogue was pretty ridiculous. The gameplay itself was kinda fun, I guess. I kept forgetting which buttons did what, though. I also hated accidentally killing enemies before pulling off good moves therefore getting no points while still putting in the effort.

    I don't think it's really a game for me.

    The Specialist makers were always like oh yeah we're making a source mod here is a model of an ak-47 see see

    and then they probably just got too stoned and forgot.
