oh those poor engineers

[Badgerman of DOOM]

Go read a sci fi novel or comic book written back then. The art style fits perfectly, because ray guns were round and covered in strange antennae long before a steampunk cosplay manufacturer hijacked the 'look', which happened what, like two years ago? Because steampunk lasers? Are you even listening to yourselves?

Back In the 40s, everything was boxy already, so futuristic stuff was round and/or chrome. Watch some buck rogers or marvin the martian if you don't believe me.

basically this

1) wtf art style gg Valve

Yeah, laser weapons certainly don't fit in with teleporters, sentry guns, and wranglers.

... and this. :-\

Personally, I think old-school futuristic laser weapons fit in perfectly with the art style.  I wouldn't mind if they toned down the particle effects though.

The art style was destroyed when hats came out.  Just look at the dev commentary on TF2.  Get over it.

You preorder it, it's $15 ffs. I preordered it. But I'm not giving away my mask, I already fucked up with my Sam & Max stuff and Bill's Hat.

That was totally a feature.

The new Quake Rocket Launcher looks so amazing.



Holy shit.

[backfire]

Oh god I need this. What do I buy?

[Maxon]

Is the Pip-Boy given to those who already have one of the Fallout's or something or has it not been actually given out yet? Definitely the coolest of the items they updated today, since I heard it might replace the PDA, but I'm not holding out for that lol

*EDIT* I guess it's for the upcoming DLC or possibly a GOTY edition? I hope it's given to those that have the game already.  As much as I want it, I'm not buying the same game twice for it.

Holy shit.

does it fire from the center of your player unlike the normal lawn chair?

If it does come out with a GotY edition, I bet they'd give it to current NV owners. Gearbox did the same thing with the Borderlands GotY edition with the Duke Nukem Forever earily access key. Gave it to current Borderlands owners, then gave it to anyone who got the goty version afterwards.
