The Evolution of DE_Dust And DE_Dust2 – Brought To You By… Us?

The Evolution of DE_Dust And DE_Dust2 – Brought To You By… Us?

We recently came into possession of precisely 3 CS:GO beta keys. That’s precisely three musketeers that are currently roaming the servers of Global Offensive, kicking ass, taking names; and vice-versa. Or, if you will, a Holy Trinity of Valve fanboys (or fanmen, if you prefer), wiping out everything they see. Whenever they aren’t being wiped out themselves by the massive number of professional Counter-Strike players who are participating in the GO beta.

But then we realized that the reason why we’re getting our asses kicked so badly is that it’s a restricted beta. In fact, most people have no idea what Global Offensive is like. Some of my friends call it “GLOBAL DRUNK” or “global raping”. So, it’s time to show off what CS:GO is like. And since the beta itself is just a rough stress test, with many features currently in the works, what better way to show it off than a massive comparison?

Calling All Writers!

Calling All Writers!

It’s starting to get a bit lonely in the LambdaGeneration offices. Lots of news passing by that we can’t really keep up with, slipping through our fingers, largely because we just don’t have enough active writers. In fact… quite frankly, it’s just me. So we’ve decided to do something about it! Interested? Read on!

Goodbye, Roundups!

Goodbye, Roundups!

They had a good run. But after over one year in service, we are dropping News Roundups. Pretty much permanently. They may or may not return some day, perhaps in a completely different form, but this is the end of the Roundups, as we know them. At the end of the day, they took up valuable time that could be used working on other articles, they needlessly segregated each news week, and they restricted us to a certain time table. As GLaDOS said, “You just have to look at things objectively, see what you don’t need anymore, and trim out the fat”. We thank you for reading them, and we’re really glad if you enjoyed them.

So… yeah. That’s about it. Bless all forms of intelligence.

Another interesting news week – Dota 2 gets leaked, with some interesting references to Episode Three. On top of that, there was my gigantic Portal 2 critique, a colossal CSS update, and the release of the Death Toll beta for L4D2. And people say nothing ever happens in this community!

News Roundup #58

What have we been up to this past week? Well, aside from a bunch of articles, I’ve been putting a lot of work into my Portal 2 review, after I briefly mentioned it in Episode #152 of Podcast 17. It’s becoming more of a critique, or analysis if you will. It should be out shortly. This is why this week’s Roundup is so small!

News Roundup #55

News Roundup #55

Pretty impressive news week! We had Valve and TF’s 15th anniversaries, and the release of the long-awaited Part Two of the Escape from City 17 series. We could have also had CS:GO’s gameplay reveal – but due to some nasty WordPress issues that kept me from writing or posting, I’ve decided to release this Roundup first, then that particular article. Sorry, guys!
