But can it shred Aperture Turrets?

>> ^Ornthoron:

I felt a lot of the same as @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/Morganth" title="member since March 25th, 2008" class="profilelink">Morganth watching this video. The story is supposedly set 3500 years before the events of the original movies, yet everything looks almost exactly the same. I will admit that I know very little Star Wars lore, but were the culture of the Old Republic really that similar? Among the things that looked almost exactly alike in this video were
-Stormtroopers
-Star Destroyers
-Tie Fighters
-smuggler ships
-door control panels
When I think of the Old Republic I want something old-fashioned and exotic, not the same stuff that I've seen hundreds of times before.


Yep, basically all content is ancesteral to Ep 4/5/6. Same schtick Lucas did with Ep 1, 2 and 3.

The thing that bothers me is that they keep trotting the exact same scenarios out.

-cocky smuggler a carbon copy of Han, check
-standard "enemy can't hit for shit" when a main character is striding in to combat with them
-freighter is 'fastest in sector' and 'looks like junk'
-ppl in the gun turrets ala New Hope
-Asteroid chase ala Empire
-Flying up the belly of a SD ala Jedi
-Flying through superstructure ala New Hope/Jedi

as if it's something new and fresh... The characters in this are infinitely more likeable than Ep 1/2/3 (although the smuggler character just annoys me) but the whole thing is so damn derivative it's like they're going down a checklist of homages they have to hit... I didn't hear a Wilhelm but I'm guesssing there's probably one of those in there somewhere as well.

I'm honestly surprised the hyperdrive didn't conk out and the smuggler started up "It's not my fault!"

Sperm collector, eh? "I am not masturbating! It's for science!"
How do they collect eggs?


It's ironic that you said "For Science" because the first thing that it reminded me of is the Turrets from Portal...

"I'm different."
"Hello?"
"Are you there?"
"I see you!"

That turret you get to save later in the game. If you sit next to it long enough after you save it. It will pretty much give you the entire portal 2 story line and give you the ladies name. Its a creepy little turret...

You can find these singing turrets in one of the test chambers as well.

Oh Gabe Johnson... your company makes portal guns, sentry turrets, intelligent bots, and boots that keep a person alive in a great fall. I would sink my money into Aperture Science any day!

Just come out with the damn game already. For a company who's already loved by so many consumers, Valve sure spends a lot of their precious time masturbating.


So does Ferrari. As you imply with your comment, it seems to be a marketing strategy that is working for Valve. As long as they don't start charging luxury prices for their software, I choice to let myself be washed around a bit by their cherry-scented wave of artificial hype.

I always thought those things had an internal portal to the armory magazine. Consider me corrected.


That would fit better, wouldn't it? A.S. could charge by-the-bullet as well! I'm making a note of this!

almost sounds like the same voice actor that did the announcer for Monday Night Combat.


It's J.K Simmons (IMDB), doesn't look like he did Monday Night Combat.
