Sounds like this might be interesting. I'm glad they're expanding, most games are just about swinging a sword in a vaguely X shaped way until the thing dies, occasionally with blocking.
BBC's reporting on this? Pretty cool, should get lots of attention that way.
I'm throwing money at my screen but nothing happens.

You have to put it in the disk drive, Silly.
gabe always seems nervous
Gabe Newell hammering a crowbar saying "These things... they take time" was the best part of his video.
Finally, a game for me.
It's pretty cool that BBC is reporting on this.
Holy cow, the backing for this has quadrupled since I saw it last.
Very nice
Man I'd like to see this game.
I kinda would like to see it on the Need for Speed engine, as that has a certain 'thing' about it that makes it appealing to me/ makes me see it suit this game quite well.
Basically a sort of side-view, heavily realistic game that takes place in a variety of dark muted-tone/bluescale arenas. Your guy is on one side and theirs is on the other, and you basically use all mouse control and some keyboard controls to strike/parry/etc with a fuckton of weapons ranging from sabres to fencing weapons, lances, maces, chinese broadswords, spears, etc.
Physics etc would all be simulated accurately, and all 'killshots' would be recorded in slowmotion and played back at the end from multiple angles, showing skeletal fractures, amputations, cuts, points scored etc.
It'd be optional to simulate the blood/breakages/possible gore etc in a similar way to how toribash did it, you could turn it fully on and join a server designed to up the severity multiplier and decrease the start distance, or you could join a server where it's purely fencing, both players clad in masks and safety equipment and unable to 'kill' - simply score points.
Here's some pics of a fencing arena, etc -

I'm a (sort of) kenjutsu practitioner and I hope that the framework that would allow implementing of new styles works as good as he said it would.
Oh my god. This game will be amazing if done right.
hope it'll fucking floor mount and blade, that game's controls piss me off to no end

Uh you know this game will be completely and totally different from M&B right?
