My son begs to play this every weekend and I keep saying no, then I cave, then I regret it for about twenty minutes of pure chainsaw noise before he moves on…

    My son begs to play this every weekend and I keep saying no, then I cave, then I regret it for about twenty minutes of pure chainsaw noise before he moves on to something calmer, roughly 3 times a month at this point.

    Entiendo lo de tu hijo, pero el puesto en el ranking no depnde de eso, depende de cómo compite duelo a duelo.

    Does the constant aggression ever get exhausting, or is that supposed to be the whole point of it?

    Con mi hermano nos turnábamos la mando cada vez que moríamos, entre risas.

    I picked this up on a whim after a rough week at work and ended up canceling my Saturday plans entirely.

    Ça me rappelle un dimanche pluvieux où j'avais prévu de ranger l'appart, enfin c'était le plan avant de lancer une partie.

    The gunplay holds up better under scrutiny than most shooters people call classics today.

    The movement alone justifies the ranking, the way sprinting and gunplay merge means combat never has downtime.

    Half-Life makes you think, this makes you flinch. Both fine, apparently.
