Steam is selling The Orange Box for $45. It includes Portal, Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, HL2 Ep1, and HL2 Ep2. Should I get this? Is it worth it? I don't own any of those games.
WolfXI
I'm gettin' it soon. <3

IT HAS PORTAL, YOU MUST GETZ IT NAO.
Shifty
depends if you like half life if you dont than dont get it and if you do than your stupid for asking the ****** question
Santana Claws
No its got black people in those games so you won't like it.
Rifleman
You're paying for TF2 EP2 and Portal and HL:2 and Ep1 are free, so it's only fair they let you give away those two games for free, that you had to pay for in the past.

This is getting old, stop it.
Elanzer
But probably true.

I'll be getting the Orange Box for Episode Two and Portal, I'm not really looking too forward to TF2 to be entirely honest. The beta will be a nice bonus for preordering though.

I'm looking foward to the 3 new games basically equally. However, I'm also really excited to see the new stuff the source engine's cookin' up.

The engine is starting to age a bit, but I think it can still churn out some impressive visuals smile.gif
Rifleman
Which is why they have and are and will update it, and yeah I bought it.

360 or pc?
Elanzer
Get it on 360 cause your laptop(s) won't handle it. Won't be able to play with any of us but then again even if any of us here do manage to play a game together anymore, TF2 isn't that great to play with people you know anyway considering it's so fast paced.

360 it is then... TALLY HO!

New trailer. Found it amusing.

Cannot wait, getting it tomorrow. <3

Also, wolf is a lucky little biotch, because I'm buying it for him because I have extra store credit for GameStop that I don't need because I have no other games to get right now! Woo!!11 <3
WolfXI

TF2 is the best multiplayer game ever. I love the scout, it's so much fun to just jump around everything in sight and then just rape with the scattergun.

Only thing that is stupid sometimes is, two people will just be medic and heavy weapons guy and just ****** that the entire game.

Other than that, it's so incredibly awesome. Portal is good too. Haven't played Episode 1 or 2 yet, so I'll tell you guys later. =D
WolfXI

Telling would be spoiling.

Elanzer
Why would you want to spoil the whole game for yourself you cock, you're getting it in a few days.
The_Sorrow
Episode 2 was amazingly fun. Hunters are awesome to fight, and the whole bit at the end was AWESOME. It made me sad too. :'(

Portal wins in that category. Episode 2 wins so hard. Playing it again. ^___________________^

Is anyone else going to play through every Half-Life game once Episode 3 is out? That's what I'm going to do...

Portal is perfect, says Yahtzee. Awesome review anywho.
Downloaded
I really can't wait now, it seems every single one of those games is getting great reviews, I don't know if any of you even care, but I find IGN to be a pretty good game reviewer and it gave the whole package a 9.5... pretty darn good.
Elanzer
Of course it's got good reviews, HL2 is the highest rated game of all time, though you probably wouldn't know that seeming you've been too scared to even look at it's name for the last 3 years because of your fear of headcrabs... Also IGN are shit.

I wasn't that impressed by Portal personally, but then again I wasn't really expecting to be. From a technical standpoint it's interesting, but I didn't find any of the puzzles even remotely challenging and the 'last third of the game', apart from the 'last bit', was tediously uninspired and boring. It did have great comedy throughout though. TF2, meh, not much different from TFC at the end of the day, I got bored of it a few days after the beta was released. EP2 was great, and anyone who thought it was the same length/shorter than EP1, or took longer to create than an entirely new Half-Life game, is a bellend. That includes Yahtzee, his reviews are getting steadily worse since they got popular.
Rifleman
He never mentioned it taking as long as a full game, just that the time between episodes was too great. I would agree but I'm a valve man-child.
