antoj | ..........

The parents are goin' to e3 this year :D

I WILL ASK THEM FOR INFAMOUS STUFF IF THEY GET IT C:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFKSSKLlf. that would rock so hard ok.

HOWWWWWWWW

I actually know the guy who is the owner of that website |D Only saw him once but I do love all of his articles :D his video games collection is totally crazy!! Including that awesome infamous 2 press kit. I think it's because the founders or producers (or whatever) came to Paris to present the game that so many French people were able to get it! He was even able to meet them. /so jealous.

That is so super cool!! I am glad he posted it though because now I know an inFamous 2 press kit exists! I am just hoping I can find a copy for myself now...somewhere. But I guess for now these pictures will have to do! lol.

I would love to be able to meet them sometime too. ;_; Part of me is hoping my website might get some attention from someone, somewhere down the line. I JUST NEED TO KEEP IT UP. ~~or "dream on", amirite? lol~~

wow he has a business card from a cabaret in his wallet.

....FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ~~we know what he and zeke are doing every night in new marais huh amirite~~

I approve of all of this. You should def try and find one cuz holy crap awesome. ;3;

as if we even wondered. i mean zeke's rooftop is in the red light district this time ok. PSH.

Hullo there Anto! I hope that you are doing well and I hope the surgery goes alright. ;3;

I've noticed you've been playing HL2 and the eps! C: How do you like them? :DDD Even though it's pretty outdated by now, it's still my favorite game series (Episode 2 is actually probably my favorite of all of them). You really don't need to have played the first one to play the second :V there's a few references here and there, but you can get by knowing the basics. C:

I hope you're able to get one of these press kits! You are probs the one person who really deserves it.

I hope L.A. Noire is good. ;3; As I sit here puttering on my laptop praying for a PC port. It looks like a bitchin game, and just today I found out one of my favorite actors is actually a fireman in the game! Bawww it's times like this I had the money to throw at a console.

Good luck with the surgery Anto! And good luck getting the press kit c:

I ACTUALLY FINISHED THEM ON MONDAY. It was a lot of fun, though that last part of episode 2 made me want to light all the things on fire. ~~though ngl, ramming down hunters with my car was oddly satisfying.~~ i also posted my reaction to it on twitter shortly after finishing it: im p sure everyone felt this way after finishing it (http://twitter.com/#!/ajlareneg/status/70294540828950528) I had a lot of fun with it though. IDK WHY I DIDN'T PLAY IT SOONER. I feel so late to the game. ~~lolpun~~

I did run into a few glitches though, and oh my god the loading times are horrendous. .__. It might just be the ps3 version since I heard it was a "bad" port (but other than the sound being crackly, and an occasional lag (reaaaaally bad lag during water hazard. :'D HOW TO PILOT BOAT DURING LAGFEST IDEK)) it wasn't bad... unless loading times was a result of it. :| Portal had ridiculous loading too. but i also love love loved the quicksave feature. ALL CONSOLE GAMES SHOULD HAVE IT TOO. ~~i find myself trying to hold pause to quicksave in LA Noire now because it had been such a habit lol~~

also playing with my headphones was both amazing and terrifying. they have like surround sound SO SOMETIMES I'D HEAR ZOMBIE NOISES NEXT TO ME AND BE LIKE kldlajkdjs. but it also helped me not be surprised by that one toxic zombie that is hiding behind that one doorway that you probably wouldnt have expected.

though now i can board the DISAPPOINT IN VALVE EXPRESS bcuz there is no third one yet....but i suppose i am less disappoint than everyone that has waited 30948098 years by now. olololo.

~~also i feel like i should play portal 2 now but i need to save money so dilemma~~ ALSO I'D HAVE NO ONE TO PLAY CO-OP WITH SO..... :'D

ALSO LA NOIRE IS A LITTLE HARDER THAN I THOUGHT. THE GAME FREAKING TRICKS YOU. IT PLAYS A JINGLE AND THEN THE SUSPECT TELLS YOU SHIT AND YOU'RE LIKE "YEA. YEA I DID A GOOD DIDN'T I!? MMHMM" and then when you're walking away from the conversation the game is like BTW YOU GOT LIKE 1/4th OF THAT INTERROGATION RIGHT. and its like RARGH but the game is so beautiful and Cole is named Cole which makes me giggle like a fangirl BUT THEN HE IS ALSO AN ACTOR FROM MAD MEN WHICH IS A SHOW I REALLY LIKE so its amusing me a lot.

That sucks its not got a PC port though. D: I hope they will, eventually. ;-; AND I WISH YOU COULD GET A CONSOLE TOO. THEY ARE LOTS OF FUN. T_T

After I finished playing I read a bunch of stuff on the Half-Life wiki thing, so I think I'm more ~*~in tune~*~ with what's going on now.

and i hope i get me that press kit. i need it or i might die or something drastic. true story.

ALSO I'D HAVE NO ONE TO PLAY CO-OP WITH SO..... :'D

This just makes me want to buy Portal 2 on PS3 even more so you would have someone to co-op with... :D ~~and then I could actually play co-op because it turns out I don't actually have anyone to co-op with on 360 :|~~

Also Cass needs to play The Orange Box now so she can come aboard the disappoint in valve express too :D

WOT ABOUT YER BF? :O Or is it only online co-ops?

mabye they should put portal 2 for ps3 on sale.

He doesn't want to play it lol. :'c

They should. IDC if it's only been out for a month, it clearly needs to go on sale.

wtf. what a butthole.

LMFAO YES EXACTLY. PUT IT ON SALE RTFN. I bet PSN being down hurt Portal 2's sales so maybe they should discount it slightly. ~~even though it comes with a free steam copy too i dont even care ok i just want it cheap~~

UGH the end of episode two left me numb for about an hour. Now you can see why everyone's raging about no third game yet ahaha. Really though, such a cliffhanger! And Valve won't say anything about ep 3/HL3 of course. You ask about how close to completing it they are and they're all NOPE.AVI.

As far as the loading times, I've never had too bad of an experience with that. It could be the port? I'm not sure ;n; Also I LOVE quick save/load, especially when I'm achievement hunting. *u* super nice

I would highly recommend Portal 2 if you liked the first game. C: Valve games get cheap after they've been out for a while (although, this is coming from a PC gamer, idk how cheap the console ones get ;n;) and actually, P2 has dropped in price at least once since it's been released, as far as I noticed. :V Anyways, it turned out to have a gameplay that sorta mixed Portal and HL2, I loved it!! Lot longer too C: (also, I heard a possibility of future compatibility between consoles for co-op? I think this is because PS3 is getting/has Steam too. If that's the case, I'd co-op with you C:)

I still want a PS3 so I can play inFAMOUS and be able to nerd over it with you! As well as lots of other PS3 exclusive games and derp :C

YEA MAN. UGH I WAS LIKE......wait........D: and its like you /know/ they're going to do something with it...so it just seems kind of mean to not say a damn thing about it. ;-;

it probably is the port. :\ ALSO LOL the ps3 version of orange box never got trophy support so i don't have any hunting to do in mine. (KIND OF SAD BCUZ I LIKE TROPHIES)

im hoping the console prices drop too.. I can see online (via steam/etc) being easier to drop the price than the console versions.. :I BUT I AM HOPING. FFFF. it sounds fun and i heard some stuff that it somewhat ties into hl2 so im more interested in that as well.

i also heard rumors of ps3 being compatible with pc players too because ps3 does have steam support...the ps3 version also comes with a free copy of portal 2 for steam which is suuuuuuper cool, but im not sure if psn needs to be fully up for it to work. :C (online play is up now, but not the psn store...so cant use dlc codes/etc) but that would be super cool ;3; I'll have to look into that now...!

Ps3 has a lot of super cool exclusives too. I MEAN I MIGHT BE BIAS BCUZ I DON'T HAVE AN XBOX but they don't seem to have as many...? So if you PC game you get most of the xbox stuff anyway but not the ps3 stuff.

gamestop has been sending this coupon for $100 off a ps3 to select rewards members. I DOUBT I WILL GET ONE BUT IF I DO!? :D??

Man I know right! I sorta understand why Valve is being so hush hush about it, but man, some tiny hints would be awesome.

On that subject though! Valve has been using ARGs to announce games as of late. (Portal 2 had two ARGs actually!)So I'm hoping Valve does something huge to announce HL3/ep 3. I think it deserves it. I will be sure to get involved the next ARG they initiate!

Also noooo ;n; that's sad about the no trophy thing... although the PC version didn't get trophies for the main game and ep 1 until last year. Ep 2 had them since its release. So... hmm. :c that's still too bad though

I actually think the console price did drop since it's release! That may have been a weekend only Kmart specific thing though. Derp. As far as ties to HL2 in Portal 2, haha, yeah, there's a few references! But nothing huge unfortunately ;3;

So I'm not crazy! I knew I heard there might be some cross-console co-op. :D

I think you're right about most 360 games being on the PC. I've just heard of so many great PS3 exclusive titles that I'd prefer a PS3 ;3; also HOLY SHIT that's a nice coupon. $100 off a PS3 ahhhhhhh that'd be nice ;3; ;3; ;3;

What exactly is the ARG? :O I heard bits about it but I wasn't entirely sure what it was lol.

YEA IM KIND OF SAD ABOUT THE TROPHIES. Some games don't have trophy support though, which is weird (even games like Resistance 1.) and I know some games got them patched in but valve does not give two shits about the ps3 port of orange box (in fact... EA did the port, so valve rly didnt do anything LOL) though now that's changed, I'm sure, since PS3 is okay with steam.

EVEN SMALL THINGS WOULD BE KIND OF COOL THOUGH LOL. I love it when I catch small references like that though. I WONT FEEL SO OUT OF THE LOOP LOL.

...a-also i just googled and found this:

Valve reconfirmed that PS3 owners can play with Mac and PC owners of the same game in two player co-op - even better - if you earn any Trophies on your PlayStation 3 the corresponding achievement automatically unlocks on Steam.

FFFFFFFFFFFF. THAT IS SUPER COOL. RHjdfsskjf. and i actually did make a steam account too. LOL IT HAS NOTHING ON IT BUT A DEMO OF A GAME MY BROTHER SHOWED ME ONCE. c.c BUT FFFFFF. i am kind of excited about this now. you know..come to think of it my brother has a display box for hl2 in his room so i bet he has the retail copy of it...I SHOULD STEAL IT FROM HIM.... assuming you can install the same game on multiple PCs, of course. lol.

Ps3 has a lot of super awesome games!! i am really glad i got mine lol. ;3;

ARG stands for Alternate Reality Game. c: It's used for everything from movies to products to video games... lots of things. To put it in basic terms, the person/people running the ARG drop lots of hints or make lots of puzzles for people to solve. The answers to these lead to more things... some things are done online and others are done in person. That's kinda a poor explanation, sorry derp. Try this. The first Portal ARG (that announced Portal 2) was pretty intense.

Yeah. :C I'm sorry the PS3 port isn't great ;n; I think Valve does care now, so future games should be great! Sorry that the OB isn't though. :c

There's one neat HL2 reference in Portal 2 that actually gives an achievement when you find it! Pretty cool :D

Oh awesome!! You should tell me what your steam account is so I can add you as a friend :D Also I am very very sad to say that retail copies of valve games are one time use deals ;n; BUT I cannot say this for sure about HL2 by itself! The OB is (I tried letting my friend use my copy, nope.avi ;n;) but you could try HL2 :D

OH!! THOSE ARE SUPER AWESOME! They can be websites and stuff too, right? I remember for Resistance 2 insomniac did a bunch of websites for like in-game factions... one of them was a SRPA terminal people could "hack" and get information out of. IT WAS NEATO. that would be really neat if they did it for hl2:ep3/hl3...THEY SHOULD OK IT DESERVES IT. :I

The port was still fine enough for me to play through it, anyway. :D The loading times got a bit grating at times but otherwise... XD IM NOT TOO PICKY ON MY GAMES, AS LONG AS THEY DONT BREAK ALL THE TIME IM OK.

also my steam account is AJLareneg aaaaand I just looked up HL2 in it and its only 10 dollars for the game and 8 for each episode beyond that. :o not bad.

I figured as much ): Most games like that have codes that do that. I forget what version my bro has. He's not home rn so I can't ask lol. I think he just has HL2 though....BUT IDK :'D

YEP they can be websites and stuff too. C: ARGs are really fun. :D I got sorta involved in the first Portal one and it was so so so cool watching it all unfold *u*

Awww I couldn't find you on steam ;3; If you wanna try finding my account, it'll be under the id purelychemical, but it might show up as Dead Pants. :V

And yeah! It's not TOO expensive, but if you watch, Steam discounts games all the time. You could possibly get HL2+eps for maybe $10 total or less at the right time of year.

i....i just tried to add you but steam says i can't add friends until i buy a game. (wtf??) it did say i can still be added as a friend though D:

it looks like my email wasn't verified yet so maybe that's why? DX I just tried to verify it...

also.....REALLY??? that sounds super cool slalaksd ill have to watch for some deals then.

ahh no actually this isn't the first time I've come across the whole "BUY GAME TO HAVE FRIENDS" thing. I think I can add you though! I just can't find you D: do you have a link to your profile?

And yes! I'm completely serious! Christmas/New Years is when Steam has RIDICULOUS deals (the first HL game is exactly one cent one day a year. :V)

l-lol i just did some poking and i didnt fully set up my ID yet...SO THAT IS PROBABLY WHY. LMAO I AM SUCH A DERP AT THIS, but anyways I got this nifty URL now: http://steamcommunity.com/id/antoj

AND HOLY CRAP FFFFFFFF. i will definitely be lurking and waiting for delicious deals.

I successfully added you as a friend! C: I dunno why steam does that. Maybe to protect people from getting friended by spambots. Probably.

:D I got the entire HL1 set (Half-Life, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Half-Life: Opposing Force, and Team Fortress Classic) for $10 and both Left 4 Dead games for $15 (I think they're $20 each normally...) just by waiting. C: The deals are sometimes completely random too! I'll let you know if I come across nice deals for the HL2 set c:

AND I SEE YOU ADDED ME NOW TOO. LOLYAY.

Yea, its to protect against spam-bots. lol i clicked on the "WHY CAN I NOT DO THIS THING" link and that's what it said, but it made me sadface. :C

That sounds super fantastic too! ;3; That would be awesome to let me know! asslja. SINCE I AM ESSENTIALLY BUYING THESE TWICE IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET THE BEST DEAL POSSIBLE. LOL.

haha, yeah! I think so too C: I'll try my best to bee on the lookout for random deals, though I do know for sure the Christmas/New Years deals are killer. C: I'll keep you updated!

btw speaking about the disappoint in valve express (http://pc.ign.com/articles/116/1169063p1.html) ... :'c

hmm, no game demos which actually doesn't surprise me. Valve just released Portal 2 and they're going to release DOTA 2 soon-ish (...actually I'm sorta surprised there's no demo for that but then again I don't know anything about that game or how far along they really are) so I don't expect them to have anything to demo. :V But that doesn't mean they can't announce stuff. C: Like maybe progress on HL3/ep 3? Or the confirmed Portal 2 DLC. I would like to know more about that. :V

tl;dr, I'm not surprised

I saw people saying in the comments they hope Valve still says something about it. BUT IF THEY ARE WORKING ON OTHER STUFF I BET THEY WON'T. I just wonder why they don't... I mean its borderlining ridiculous that they haven't said anything. PEOPLE NEED IT OK.

also everyone would go insane if they did announce it. maybe that's why they didn't yet. lol.

Ahaha I am so waiting for the inevitable party for the announcement and/or release of the next Half-Life game.

Valve has released concept art for it a while back, I think right after ep 2 came out (in 2007). There are only a few pieces of art as far as I remember ;3; and every so often we will get notes from Valve saying "there WILL be another HL game, be patient!" the most recent being a few months ago I think.

Yea I did some digging after I beat Episode 2 because I was like BUT THAT CANT BE ALL ;__________; i saw some of the concept arts and statements that are like YEA WE'RE NOT DONE WITH GORDON FREEMAN YET :D

but that isnt v helpful man. ;-;
