well..each to their own..i prefer the feeling of not knowing a whole
bunch about a game..
might i suggest if you want to get into the game industry you learn some
C++ and asm?
 JF> You went to E3?  Man, I hope they get it up to Canada

uh..i know..i live in B.C. =]

er..we didnt spend that much money when we went..plane tickets and hotel
and whatnot..thats about it..
 JF> But I think your E3 experience is really only a shred of what you

im pretty sure the game is pretty much the same as the version i saw
at E3..i suppose there might be a few cosmetic changes and some
tinkering with the gameplay..
 JF> It should beat everything else that's out when it comes
 JF> out (after Duke Nukem Forever, of course :-) ), but then it

 JF> DNF), and before Prey and Trinity.  But that's the problem, 
 JF> in a way... it'll only really have a few months of glory 
 JF> before it gets booted aside.
well...i seriously doubt it will just 'boot' DNF out of the way..DN
has a big cult following and many people (like me) will buy the game just
because of its pure fun and humour, halflife is a bit more strategic and
wont have quite an endearing main character, which is 3Drealms strong
point it seems..
but still...it should be a fun game..
