A lovely little video showing the dangers of mixing motion-capture technology and Half Life.

I advise you to not try this in game.

Not my Turning Point gaming rig

Behold! The machine of machines! My computer! It's a nice gaming machine, but it's starting to fall behind the curve. A brand new machine would make me very happy. I might even donate the old one to someone else who needs a good gaming platform.

More Wonderful Ads!

You guys know how much I looooooooove interesting ads, so of course I couldn't resist posting this:



To be honest, I really preferred the ads for dead hookers.

At least this time I got around to copying the link:

That's right bitches, I'm a Valentine baby! It's actually pretty cool with all the free candy and stuff. Presents are awesome. I accept money, candy, and videogames.
With receipts in case I don't like it..



To celebrate, I present one of the top Google image results for "birfday."


I love Porn as much as you guys, but...
 by Eschatos on 01.31.2008      35 comments




This is getting a bit ridiculous.






Porn is wonderful, but it really doesn't go well with Destructoid. And it seems a bit niche. Dead hookers and Sexy chicas are a market that really does not appeal to me. I take it that no one else has noticed this?


EDIT:

I've also discovered this little gem.



If it comes up again I'm going to click on it to see where it leads. Any bets? And also I'll try to find the URL to get them blocked.
My Godlike New Computer
 by Eschatos on 01.28.2008      40 comments




Every now and then I like to see the most expensive computer it would be possible to purchase anywhere. It's been a while since the last time I tried, but now I present to you:




The Blackbird, a machine I can only compare to the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.


I see a resemblance.

This beast starts at around $2399, but I am forced to get the most expensive version possible.








Behold! Ten thousand seven hundred two dollars and ninety two cents worth of computer parts, which forms the ultimate computing behemoth known to mankind!




P.S.
If any of you actually buys this for me I will give you the most sincere hug ever given in all of eternity.

P.P.S.
Why the fuck did Niero do away with "Last Comment: You suck. by God"? "Offline, brb" just isn't the same.

Super Awesome Team Fortress 2 Update News
 by Eschatos on 01.23.2008      11 comments




Valve are (is?) overachievers! Which is good for us. According to a source which shall not be named, the mega huge TF2 update coming soon is even mega-er and huge-er Previously we thought the update simply was some new achievements, an update to the medic, and two new maps. But now we know...
















*scroll down*























*more*















*random webcomic intermission*











Team Fortress 2 gets unlockable weapons! In the spirit of awesomeness, every class will gain access to new weapons and equipment. According to El article, one example of new stuff is:

"The first Medic unlock, for example, is called the Overhealer. Instead of temporarily buffing people's health to 50% above their normal maximum, it permanently boosts them to double their standard health. The downside is that it'll be dramatically worse at building Ubercharge - in fact, Valve are toying with not letting it Uber at all. "

If you want more info, just click on the damn link already.


And I forgot to mention, new game type.
Team Fortress 2 in Legos and Real Life
 by Eschatos on 01.16.2008      4 comments




It seems that while I was gone people have had the opportunity to make even more awesomer Team Fortress 2 stuff.

Behold! The legos of awesomeness!


Here be pictures
Startlingly accurate in their portrayal, I must say.


Next, someone with too much time on their hands created an actual Sentry Turret that is also a superpowerful gaming rig.


I would do pretty much anything for that.


Then we have a Weighted Companion Cube made out of balloons:

Proof that the cake is not a lie:






Many thanks to RockPaperShotgun for finding all this awesome stuff.
Team Fortress 2 - New Medic Achievements
 by Eschatos on 01.04.2008      7 comments




Someone on the internets has been kind enough to find the list of new achievements, which are all for the medic class.
