Yup. It stopped being updated in 2006, but it had cheats, trainers, guides, tips, walkthroughs, everything you could have needed to get through a game. I guess it was more useful in the days when regular internet access wasn't a thing, since you'd download it once and keep it on hdd.

From the reuse of XP icons, this looks a lot newer, but the same idea.

@nosleep
I love how the last one looks like a bad Android app store icon.

You probably misunderstand what a hipster is. Liking random old or nieche things is not what makes a hipster. Making old and nieche things your way of life is what makes a hipster.
Example: I like Half-Life 1, but that doesn't make me a hipster because I also like and enjoy new HL games and many other games.
But if someone only plays HL1 and mods, and refuses to play any newer games claiming they are all not good enough, that's a hipster.

Fuck hipsters in every hole they have.
I don't hate niggers, or gypsies, or jews. All my hate is concentrated towards hipsters.

Yes, a lot of games have both. But in such cases which system adds more to the game. Dead Space has both systems, but it wouldn't be Dead Space if you couldn't gib off arms and legs of enemies, but it would still work just fine with no physics attached to the bodies.

I don't think that's controversial.
I think FM2 isn't as good as the original, but it's to be expected. I think it's pretty clear that Ross got burned out on the format while doing the original series, and considering how much pressure there was on him towards the end, it can't be easy.

Game Dungeon and his Dead Game News became his outlets to relieve the pressure, and it's easy to see he's more interested in them. If I had a choice, I'd still have a Freeman's Mind episode instead (cause I'm that invested in HL), but it's hard not to see that he's far more energetic when doing Game Dungeon so it leads to those episodes currently being his best work.

Thing is, I think I would have preferred if he had stopped FM after finishing HL1. Now I just dread the possibility that he never finishes HL2. When I see that it might take another decade, it just makes me anxious that a million things might happen to prevent Ross from finishing it, and an unfinished FM2 just triggers my pseudo OCD.

Freeman's Mind took 7 years to complete, at an average rate of 10 videos per year.

Ross Scott's current output for Freeman's Mind 2 is 2 episodes per year... The playthrough is just slightly over 1/3 way through, at episode 17. Assuming another ~32 episodes, we could be waiting 16 years for Freeman's Mind 2 to complete. And that's not even accounting for the possibility of him continuing with Episode 1 & 2 and Half-Life 3 (I'm not even joking, Ross is giving Valve more than enough time to make HL3).

I like the idea of having a supply of Freeman's Mind episodes for the rest of my life, but in a way it's also terrifying.

The theory goes that the internet actually died years ago, and most of the activity we see online now is actually just bots. Social media posts, YouTube comments, all are just bots used to either trick advertisers or for political purposes.

What makes for a better shooter:
