Can someone please explain to me why some things that don't work in OpenGL work in software mode?
Like the transparency around images, and when you press 1 2 or 3 it actually shows a menu for selecting weapons. Why is that?

Jesus why did they add buttholes.

This was the far less-known counterpart to the headcrab, the asscrab.
It was cut.
Called as such because it was an asshole and jumped sideways, also it had instant kill attacks.
...What did you think?
[QUOTE=EarlCdwards;39169871]Valve aren't even officially announcing their 'console' this year, let alone demonstrating it.
I'm still standing by my "no Half-Life news in 2013" prediction.[/QUOTE]
I'm not gonna lie, I really thought this year was gonna be the year we heard some half life news simply because of all the piston/steam box buzz going around, as it'd just make logical sense to have half life ep/3 as a launch title for such a thing.
So yeah, it was pretty damn disappointing to hear that Valve was continuing to keep their mouths shut.
Hey wait.
Can someone here superimpose Alpha-Barney's face onto the Moon from Majora's Mask?

I'll get on that tomorrow, unless it's urgent.

Of course it's urgent!
I'm outside your window with a harpoon if it is not done right now.

It's not a console anyway.

Why should they announce a game or tell information on a hardware convention?
"Valve will be at CES to meet with hardware and content developers in our booth space," Lombardi said. "We are bringing multiple custom (hardware) prototypes as well as some off-the-shelf PCs to our CES meetings."
Lombardi described the prototypes as "low-cost, high-performance designs for the living room that are great candidates for Steam and Big Picture.
[b]"We will be sharing more information to the press and public in the coming months,"[/b] he added.

what? where in my post did I say that they would announce it at a hardware convention?
[QUOTE]When Valve hardware engineer Ben Krasnow gave a speech at a German technology conference back in December, he spoke to the much ballyhooed "Steambox" concept we've been hearing so much about in recent months (among other, vastly different subjects). Following that speech, a report on Golem.de (translated at the Neogaf gaming forums) posited that Krasnow indicated a reveal of said Steambox at this March's Game Developer's Conference, or perhaps at this June's E3 gaming trade show -- but Krasnow tells us he didn't say that exactly.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"With regards to the Steambox news -- there has been a lot of things stated in the media which I didn't say. For example, it's true that we are working on getting Steam into the living room, and are planning for a hardware box, but [B]we have no current plans to announce anything in 2013[/B]," Krasnow said in an email.[/QUOTE]
I'd sooner listen to someone who actually works on this stuff than listen to an optimistic quote from Gabe or Doug. They get excited about these things and often overestimate the development speed.
[QUOTE=The Kins;39180459]The lads over at [url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerdist/id355187485]The Nerdist[/url] have posted a two part interview podcast with Gabe about all sorts of stuff. Apparently Robin Walker and Will Wheaton (OF COURSE!) appear to some extent, too.

What's it called when the viewmodel doesn't scale to your world position like in this screenshot?
looks like the player could shove his bare hand up that headcrab's ass
Its kind of scary how much money people will pay for a single CD, and it even has a copy online. The Alpha cd is at 610$ right now.

Man, Valvetime gets us all the dirty stuff.
[QUOTE=Chrille;39183587]Man, Valvetime gets us all the dirty stuff.[/QUOTE]
It was cancelled so I don't see it as dirty leaked stuff.
Wow, makes you wonder what the game was really about. I hope that valve releases it or a game based on it, I know its a small chance though, like really [SUB][SUB][SUB][SUB][SUB][SUB]small[/SUB][/SUB][/SUB][/SUB][/SUB][/SUB]
I wonder what "Absorption" was. There's no suit battery meter on those screenshots, so maybe it was an alternate armor system?
those images doesn't look like the old concept art

or i may be wrong
It might have to do with radiation, which might also be the reason we seen that human like figure without a headcrab, he might have been zombified or driven insane by the radiation. This might also be why we've seen the combine with different suits, so they could handle the radiation. Though I going out of the biggest limb you can think of, mostly because we don't really have much to go on.
We better see more of odessa. His mustache held HL2 together

Going off ValveTime's previous "leaks" it's nothing Facepunch couldn't have found. :v:

The first two screenshots don't like something that i would of expected in a Half-life game, especially not in Ravenholm.

What do you mean by Combine with different suits? We've only seen 2 used by Combine soldiers (Normal and Elite) and what the Metrocops wear.

I've been looking but haven't found much; I want to know where these came from...
