If you don't have a problem with playing a somewhat older game, try Serious Sam in cooperative play. It's great, you can go through the entire single-player campaign with your friends. This holds for both Serious Sam: The First Encounter and The Second Encounter. Apart from these, Serious Sam 2 should also have this feature.

And they're as much a twitch FPS experience as you can get.

My only hope is that most game developers will simply ignore the "Games for Windows" scheme, and go their own way as they have done up to now. But unfortunately, some at least, will give it a try. And that percentage of devs that go the "Games for Windows" way will probably be the small upstart companies that welcome such "help" from Microsoft. Over time, however, I pray to god that they also get their fingers fried thanks to MS's greedy antics, and gamers alone won't be the only ones to suffer.

And you can bet your life on the fact that Windows Live will be a mirror image of X-Box Live. I for one can barely wait for a "Horse Armor" counterpart in every single PC game out there. I wonder if, should Windows Live stick, we'll even get patches for free.

If you take a closer look, you'll see that this is the Internet Explorer debate all over again, as MS is trying to impose a service which would otherwise be handled by independent companies by bundling it with Windows.

Stubbs was an exception when it comes to dismemberment in games. I believe in Half-Life 2 (though I wouldn't bet my life on it) you can shotgun zombies in two and they'll still crawl towards you. However, this is not the norm, as human (read: not zombie) dismemberment automatically brings about an Adults Only ERSB rating, and few developers and publishers opt for that from the get-go.

Edit: Now I remember, in Half-Life 2 in Ravenholm you get circular saw blades that you can pick up with the Gravity Gun and use them to cut things in two.

I'm not sure about videos causing motion sickness, even videos of Half-Life 2. What I find intrigueing is the fact that the original Half-Life from 1998 had also caused motion sickness to a number of people who didn't otherwise experience it in other games.

As for the video, was it that "Still Seeing Breen" one with music from Breaking Benjamin, or some other one? 

That is a good idea.-Karayan-

The symptoms you describe here look to most certainly be lag. Don't be mistaken, I'm not talking about multiplayer-type lag, but the kind of lag that tells you to get a better computer. I experienced this in a number of games, and the next step would have been stuttering and framerate drops, so I got an all-round better machine. 

Taking into account this is China we are talking about, they're probably waiting for those kids to show up and "donate some blood" after a summary court martial and execution.

Hackers: Hi, we're here to donate blood. You know, so we get unbanned.

Judge: Right. Let me just hand out every one of you a bucket. And please sign here for your family to pay for the bullet.
