The Next Generation

Today, October 10th 2017, marks 10 years since the release of Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Today is also the day we're announcing something exciting that's coming to LambdaGeneration soon. Rather than go on about things in an article, we created a video instead to talk about, where we've been, thoughts…

Steam To Start Selling And Distributing Non-Gaming Software, On 5th September

Other Steam To Start Selling And Distributing Non-Gaming Software, On 5th September

Back in July, users of the Steam Mobile app quickly noticed a variety of strange software-related genre categories had popped up in the Steam Store. When searched for manually, these ten software categories would automatically redirect you to a currently inexistent Software landing page in the Store.

At the time, these findings fueled speculation that Valve were planning on adding actual software applications to the Steam Store. And as we all know, once the community starts speculating, it never stops. Unless Valve themselves intervene… which they have, in the form of an official announcement! Read on.

“The Gordon Freeman Song”

Other “The Gordon Freeman Song”

Every Friday (well, I now tend to release Roundups around Sunday, because I’m not happy with the amount of articles or something), we have our top secret AI enter the internet and start searching for more stuff to write about. Because we are pretty lazy.

This AI is so secret and so astoundingly idiotic that I usually erase it from my memory, well, until Pinky places post-it notes on my desk each Friday saying “START UP AI”. I still don’t remember its name, though. Durandal, was it? Or was it AM? Or AC? It probably wasn’t V’Ger, and certainly not CABAL.

Oh, but today it finally found something.

Well, what do you know? It’s only been a few hours since Flamov started writing for the site, and he’s already serving my ass as the main course! In terms of writing, of course.

WETA Workshop Builds a TF2 Level 1 Sentry Gun for Valve

Other WETA Workshop Builds a TF2 Level 1 Sentry Gun for Valve

Working at Valve can be quite perilous at times.

You face crazed Half-Life fans who run in the Valve lobby with explosives strapped to their chest, desperate for Episode Three information and a working copy of Half-Life 2. You face crazed Counter-Strike fans who don’t like game updates… or anything, for that matter.

You face crazed Day of Defeat fans who just want something, dammit. You face crazed Team Fortress 2 fans who want this nerfed and that buffed, and more hats, you face crazed Team Fortress Classic fans who just want to kill everyone, you face crazed Left 4 Dead 1 fans who have really gone insane and you face crazed Left 4 Dead 2 fans who complain a lot and then mumble about Left 4 Dead 3.

You face crazed Source modders who will blow up the entire building, you face Garry’s Mod fans who are so happy they’re insane, you face Portal fans who just want their damn game already, you face Alien Swarm fans who also want something, dammit, you face crazed Ricochet fans, who have evolved into super-insanity, you face Deathmatch Classic fans who are surprisingly, somewhat sane, and you face Gunman Chronicles fans, who will do anything for a sequel.

There are 250 people at Valve, but there are plenty more insane fanboys than that.

Fortunately, they now have something with which they can defend themselves from the onslaught of schizophrenic Hammer Legion members.
