If you play Half Life 2 before HL1 you'll just get the impression that you've been gone for a long time, and in the time you've been gone the apocalypse has happened, which is mostly correct. Episode 1 and 2 elaborate on the storyline a little further, explaining the remaining cities of the world are kind of like fortresses keeping out large, horrible, extradimensional aliens. The only thing HL1 will explain is WHY Gordon Freeman is such an important character and known by everyone on the face of the Earth probably.

General Discussion / Re: Bullying
« on: April 21, 2011, 11:15:23 pm »
Back in primary school I was bullied for a long time because I tried to help someone else out. I was the new kid in school, and immediately I noticed that there was a shy girl who would be consistently picked on by almost everyone at the school. The reason for this was because she used to be one of those special education students and was recently transferred out because she showed enough mental development. She wasn't dumb as much as she was socially inept. I used to be very popular and liked back then; I was always the "cool smart kid" you turned to when you wanted the answers to your math homework.
Anyway, one day I had become absolutely fed up with the other kid's inhumane torture of this little girl. They would steal her money, tease her to tears, and cause her significant physical harm. Nobody ever got in trouble because she didn't talk to anyone about it. This particular day in recess, the typical group of five dudes and a chick were punting this girl around (this is funnily enough, cliche) and laughing. I don't know what overcame me, perhaps I had a crush on the girl back then? I told the kids very rudely to fuck off. They were compliant for a few days. That's when they focused their attention on me.
The girl had moved to another town, and I was left with no friends and everyone giving me the stink-eye. Eventually I was bullied in the same manner as the girl was, only they were much more physical. They would break my pencils, tear up my homework, steal whatever change I always carried around, stab me with pencils, you name it! I joke you not when I say the entire school bullied me, some of the teachers hated me because of what some of the kids did to frame me. This persisted until high school, where everyone I previously knew didn't attend. I had friends, and could focus on being happy and studying for college.
Not once did I raise a fist to my antagonists, or even resist. I fought with rude words and my swift, skinny legs.

I would definitely recommend Aurora, but to be bluntly honest I find it twice as hard to get into as Dwarf Fortress. Once you're into it, however, you can pull marathons on that game and not get bored.

I can join servers now, but apparently I keep getting kicked out of every server because "check the new version". What new version?

I've been playing this for the past couple of days, I was wondering when a B12 thread would arise 
Anyway, I updated to .26 but I'm getting a version mismatch/map transfer error every time I try to join any server, specifically the DwarfyWar server.

Ignore this, I found out why it was doing this and it is related to my stupidity!

Oh.
