Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Yeah it is very short. Took me about five to six hours. Probably could do it in four hours if I didn't wall-hump/explore. |
oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer

5ish hours for me, and I played through again on commentary mode.
Weird statistics on completion though. It was worth the money IMO.

Hell, even I finished it and I had just finished HL2 the month before. Short but very entertaining game. It was well worth the $20. |

I finished it. About 4.5 hours. I too enjoyed it thoroughly.

If by ruin, you mean a sweet ass, then maybe. SiN showed what Valve technology can do for asses. I can only imagine the glorious behind on Alyx.

No I meant those people who are happy to cough up $20 for 4 to 5 hours of video game entertainment. If that trend keeps up we will eventually be paying movie ticket style prices for all our video game entertainment.

To be perfectly honest, I'd rather pay $20 for 4-5 hours of solid entertainment over $50 for 40-80 hours of meh entertainment (SQUARE, I'M LOOKING AT YOU). God of War was possibly the best $50 I've ever spent on gaming and it was 8 hours long. SiN was totally worth it for $20 and RE4 was worth it for $90 (I bought it twice AND I'll buy the PC version) for 10 hours of entertainment.

What he said. I have money but no spare time, so whenever I spend an hour on a game, it better be good. That's why I come to places like this and talk about MMOGs, but don't actually play them. They waste my time. |

Look, I am 37. I work as an attorney. I have a wife and two boys, 5 and 3. I have a house, mortgage, big yard and more chores than I can list. I read 3 to 4 different newspapers per day online. I read 4 websites daily. I am supposed to be exercising somewhere in the middle of all of this.
When I sit down to play a game, I want enjoyment. I don't do grinds. I grind IRL. I don't play new games unless they are sequels to games that I loved, Civ4, HL2Ep1, etc. I wait for the game site hype to die off. I watch for opinions from posters on f13 who like the same games that I do. Then and only then, I buy the games that are quality regardless of age or cost. I don't have the time to finish epic games without ignoring other important tasks. I don't get to sit and play for 6-8 hour sessions. I have eliminated MMO's for that reason. If I can't login and play for 45 minutes and quit, I don't play.
HL2:EP1 is exactly what I want. A quality product that delivers as promised for a small cost.

I'm very time-bound, too, but I take another course; I like the long epic games. That way I don't have to keep spending money on these little 5-hour jobbies. I'm still only level 13 in Oblivion and barely into the game. I've shut one gate to gain support for Bruma and I'm up to Swordsman in the Fighter's Guild. Between that and a couple strategy games, I'm set for the year without spending another dime.

My approach is a combination of Nazrat's and Sky's... probably because I only have the one boy, but I have most of the rest of it. Here it is, 2318 local time, and I finally get up here to my PC for some "me time". I'll probably pass the fuck out from exhaustion before 0100. Why am I reading F13 now? Going to try to get TS working.

Out of curiosity, what is the cutoff age between old/young? I'll be 27 in a couple months, and I don't want that "old" tag sneaking up on me. btw, i'm re-installing HL2 right now to give EP1 a whirl. Figured I'd give it a month or two to see if the reviews were positive. |

When you are one of the guys who can talk more intelligently in the home ownership thread than any of the hundreds of portable gaming threads, you are old. When you spend more time researching a game before buying it than you do playing it, you are old. My the spirit of Foxworthy bless this thread! |

You might be old.... if you can injure yourself by dancing. (Jury's still out on whether it's a groin pull or a sports hernia, but either way, ow.)

Most men are simply not meant to dance.
At least while anything close to resembling sober.

We can dance if we want to
we can leave your friends behind
because your friends don't dance
and if they don't dance
well they're no friends of mine

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Well... getting slightly back on topic here, I finished EP1 this afternoon. Yeah, a bit on the short side... but probably still worth the $20... ehh... I dunno. I think $10 would have been a little closer to the mark. But it doesn't matter what I think, because they just sold a bagillion of them for $20 and will do it for that much or more for EP2.
