I would not go so far as to say that it was a waste of time and money, but it does leave me hating Valve. They basically made a tease and left gamers with blue balls. It is a real dick move, in my opinion. Creating a game (or movie) that ends without any resolution (while promising a resolution) is cheating the customer. If you are going to write a story that gets cut off, at least have the decency to finish wrap it up in some way. If they had just made a short little Episode 3 to close the loops they just left hanging out there, I would be less frustrated with them.

Are you serious? I can barely remember the story let alone care about it. And it was nothing special to begin with except setting and universe itself.

Funny how there was little progress with Nintendo 64 emulators in the last decade. It even made it to pop culture:

I always thought was going to the movies and not ordering popcorn was a nerd/snob thing. Should I start buying the popcorn then?

No. Theaters sell popcorn at exorbitant prices in order to extract more income from customers who could pay more for a movie ticket without inhibiting customers who could not afford higher ticket prices.

Why so serious? I rarely go to the movies nowadays, but when I did, I don't remember ever buying a popcorn to eat while watching movie. The whole idea is repulsive to me.

No - we had no idea. In fact, I'm still not certain to this day... We were only fed information through the propaganda. A lot of brainwashing. We were told that we were making other countries happy because we were "freeing" the people.

I'm the opposite. Half the enjoyment of the moviegoing experience is eating that huge bucket of popcorn. Yes it is expensive. The ticket, soda and popcorn is about 20 bucks. I go almost every weekend throughout the year. Been doing that for years.

movie theaters barely make anything off ticket sales. most of their income comes from the concession stand

Well I haven't seen this posted here, so I guess I might as well. Maybe not all of you are familiar with Laffer, he used to be in the 3DR community quite a lot over the years. So, some bad news:
Quote
I was going to post this later, I don't know if it needs a thread or not, this is a small community so i'll just post it here and assume most/all of you see it...
I was contacted by Laffer's brother yesterday morning on facebook, he decided to pass some sad news on to me since I was a close friend of Laffer... He apparently hung himself and died yesterday
He's been indirectly talking about suicide for a long time, he never appeared depressed but he also never showed much desire to have any kind of future, he openly talked to me and others including his brother Leif about these sort of things, but he always seemed hesitant enough and not to mention confident with living on enough to never go this far, but I guess he must have had his reasons, despite how we usually would openly talk together about everything...
Laffer was my first internet friend that i ever had and spoke actively with, I even visited him in Norway and we had a really great time, and he even called me a month back asking if i'd be up for coming over again soon, to which i said yes... He and I had some great times together, both online and in real life, it's sad to see him go, but if he was still here, I know for a fact (as morbid as it may seem) that he'd rather have us joke about him than mourn over his death...
Anyway, it's sad news, but I knew Laffer very well, he'd definitely want us to keep talking about him on much less serious terms, so apart from this post I'll try and keep my mood up if he's ever referred to again, he'd definitely have wanted that...
I wish he'd at least have spoken to me a little before this, but done is done, and it's not like i'm angry at him for what he did to himself, I'll still remember him as the fun friend I met when I last saw him... I'm not keeping back any information so far, since i simply know nothing more than the fact that he hung himself, if I get to speak with his brother some more I might learn some more things, and find out later if it's necessary/decent to share it to others that knew him...
Anyway, RIP Laffer, I miss chatting with you as often as we did back in the days

No. No. No. No fucking way. I loved Øystein very much. We've kept in touch for a long time and become good friends. This is the worst news.

Yes, he also posted as SonnyBonds after he got banned frivolously.
