You should get Orange Box. Although you have never played Half Life before, Half Life 2 and its sequels explains the story adequately. You can also look up more information on wikipedia, so understanding the rather deep story isn't going to be a very big issue

As for Team Fortress 2, its just plain fun. Prior experience to Team Fortress is not necessary to play/get the best out of it. Also, we can't forget Portal. That game alone already kicks ass, and you get 5 games for the price of one. Its a steal

Half-Life 2 and Team fortress 2 are great games, but for me, the stand-out product in the Orange Box was Portal. Addictive and quick. You can run through it in about an afternoon, and it'll leave you begging for more.

I found it to be excellent value (especially when buying it from Steam and the £ is stronger than the $). Oh Team Fortress 2. I might as well have just bought that instead since that's all I play now

The 50 bucks is almost worth it just for the sheer joy of the 2-5 hour experience of Portal. Not too often to you play a game that is just so... awesome. And damn near universally accepted as such, even Yahtzee from Zero Punctioation had trouble coming up with bad things to say about it.

HL 2 + Epi 1 + Epi 2 + TF2 + Portal = Awesome, odd combo, but worth your money. It's a shame you guys didn't have the option to buy it for 25 bucks on black friday at Best Buy like some of us in the states did. And no, I didn't go through mobs of people, I rolled into the store around 9:30 PM and picked it up with no problems. Oh yeah, and Guild Wars for 10$.

Anyhow, get it, and we should get a TF2 GBATemp team/clan/whatever together on Steam.

    @Sicklyboy, That sucks when the battery already begins to swell up. You considering on a desktop replacement, and if so, which one?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ damn 15 is shockingly cheap for that. Even 30 feels like a good price just given what a bunch of other FiiO stuff costs. Granted, not familiar with what those were originally selling for, so who knows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    As far as a replacement for my BTR5, I don't really have my eyes set on anything specific yet but it'll likely be from either Fiio or Schiit Audio.

    @Sicklyboy, Originally when it came out, they sold for around $40 USD according to FiiO's news bulletin. https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/54677.html

    @Sicklyboy, I would prefer FiiO as the better brand for a USB DAC.

    I feel like headphones reached a peak even ones from ten years ago sound better than new ones
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, all depends how much money you wanna spend. I had skullcandy headphones and shit way back when but I never liked anything as much as the headphones (and earbuds) I use nowadays

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @SylverReZ yeah fwiw I've been quite happy with my FiiO BTR5 so I don't have any specific reason to not a FiiO again. Just gotta see what's available and how much I'm trying to spend lol

    I have the FiiO X1-ii, and love what it does, but the battery life is kinda ass and the sluggish, unresponsive menu makes me regret my purchase a little.

    has anyone here played botw randomizer for switch?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    (not the wii u version, specifically the switch version)

    Frankly not. That's like a 'cheat engine' for BoTW, right?
