except I used that 10mm to pop a lot of heads. I'm getting pretty tempted to play again, no kill style, but shooting people in the head is just so FUN in that game. Like a visceral rush. Dang, I'm a psycho.
I thought I didn't kill anyone, but I didn't unlock Pacificst at the end. Sad.
Made me wish I just went on a slaughtering spree throughout the whole game instead.

NVCD; swapped my BFG-built nVidia 9800 GTX+ for an EVGA-built nVidia GTX 560...running Portal2 @ 1920x1080 with ALL the eye-candy cranked up to max at around 215 FPS w/V-sync off and card temps around 60/C; with V-sync on, frames are capped @ 60 FPS and card temps no higher than 54/C.

That's exactly why I didn't go for pacifist, I was sure I'd forget or screw it up and overwrite my save at some point.
^Niiiice. I love upgrading hardware, loading up a game and just being amazed, "It's supposed to look like THIS???".

Hah I guess I'll be a bit ticked if I don't get pacifist, but I am enjoying the game this way...if I played it like a shooter it would be a completely different game.
Hit the 2nd boss (the invisible lady in the computer room)...typhoon is a BEAST.
1 typhoon stunned her and I popped off a few headshots...she chased me around a bit after that and just suddenly dropped dead
So many games have come out in the past month it's pretty crazy

I didn't play it like a shooter, that'd be boring, I played it like I play MGS. It reminding me so much of MGS2/3 is basically why I loved it. Eventually I'll need to do the no alerts/no kills game like in MGS too.
And typhoon is friggin ridiculous, they may as well give you a "skip boss" button. Which honestly I would welcome, except the last boss fight, which is kinda rad.

I'd be down for playing a bit if there was a server going, cba to run one though.
Also, me and a friend got multiplayer BG2 working recently. We're playing through BG2 and ToB co-op, and it. is. amazing.

This is seriously a dream we've had for at least 6 years.

here concerning what Valve knows so far.

Almost finished Amnesia in one go... i don't know if i'm too hardened/cynical/whatever, but i really wouldn't classify this as the scariest game ever...
probably just hardened

but i remember how i tried o play the first Silent Hill a while back... didn't even finish... wasn't able to play much longer than an hour, than i just had to take a break

Truth be told Penumbra (an earlier game) is much scarier.
