We just need to see if those 10 episodes equate to a longer, more detailed game than the full Half-Life 2. I'm in the camp that thinks we'll be getting a better deal buying episode to episode rather than waiting for a compilation album.
I am optimistic and hope that each episode allows minor innovations that ultimatly result in an evolving sort of engine, bringing ever expanding longevity to the game (as modders revisit the original Half-Life 2 and integrate the new features much like modders such as Black Mesa:Source are doing to the original Half-Life.)
I enjoy storylines in games and believe that episode content will be one of the best things to advance their prominence since the original Half-Life.
Alt-Fire allows you to hurl him forward, embedding him in the head of enemies. You can walk up to the enemy to pick it back up. 99% of the population bury it in the head of the first combine they see and never pick it up again. The other 1% hold on to it until episode 10 where they can bury it in Dr. Breen's head.
I would just like to remind people that earlier interviews noted that retail stores would sponser "episode packs," a combination of 3-4 episodes, rather than each individual episode.
Not that I plan on buying retail, but I thought I'd just throw out that possibility just to freakout the retail buyers.
I remember Sega gave away Sega Dreamcasts to everyone in a Rose O'Donald show. I thought it was a cleaver marketing idea. If Nintendo gave away Revolutions on Oprah, it would be great PR and a semi-effective Anti-PS3-hype bomb if they drop it before Sony releases, assuming Nintendo launches before them. Though I suppose they might be able to get away with some sort of coupon.
They could do simple system pushing commericals. Always plenty of games that you can find half second images of that are offensive to no one. As long as they make the system look friendly, nonthreating and overall - fun, It should be fine.
Imagine for a second possiblities:
Scenes of the classic-style family gathered around the Revolution showing an elderly grandmother how, to her surprise, easy it is to use the control remote!
Kids finishing up their homework then skipping over to the Revolution and standing, almost exercising as they use the controller.
Dad playing some generic or Mario based sports game with his friends.
You know, the sappy, good vibrations kind of crap that makes you queazy. It's like advertising crack.
Few nations are impressed by robotic missions. I mean, how many people here know that the Soviets made robotic missions on the moon? Now that you people know, how many care?
Nations are only impressed by extravegant explorative programs. It was the same with the race to the north pole, who cares if you flew over it in a plane? You need to walk there, make a speech, and plant your nation's flag, proclaiming it for all the world!
I don't know about an island, wouldn't the massive support cables need to strech pretty far out into the ocean from that island? And a more level plane to place those guide wires would be more stable, wouldn't it (no seriously, I'm not positive; I'm no Structural Engineer!) I would perfer a nice high altitude, relativly dry plains land central in America (if such an ideal place exists! Our deserts may be too low altitude, I'm no Geographer either!)
Anyway, plenty of technology from pressurized suits can be utilized in other fields, you don't have to just deal with that one prize winning object, you could use the lighter radiation sheilding you invented for it for hazard suits so when the next anti-mass spectrometer opens a gateway to another planet, the science guy who saves Earth will be wearing your suit! Free advertising, Score!
How many years has it been since that American flag fell over on the moon? We need to give it a proper moon burial (I mean, we can't exactly burn it up there...) and setup a new one!
All part of the natural evolution from a creation of technologies to a dependency on said technology.
I for one welcome our new techno-overlords and would like to remind them that as a/.er I could be useful for shooting down people who argue against our benefactors with an impenetrable wall of nonsensical reasoning, pseudo-sensical reasoning, and circular statements.
Five senses is a bit outdated, but generally they are only refrenced as the five primarily, hmm... senseable? Senses. 6th Sense is generally one that seems to be harder for the individual to recognise possibly due to a lack of control over them.
As for the pointy object, I know what your talking about. I think it maybe possible that a number of sense may be overreacting in conjunction with your proprioception to alert you that some unknown entity is being detected faintly resulting in that vaguly unsettling "tele-tactile" sense of the object as "pointy."
We think there is an untapped nostalgia market: Gamers who grew up and cut their teeth on these older games could come back.
While I am very excited about greater support for this market, what exactly has Nintendo been doing with ports going as far back as Super Mario All-Stars, if not tapping this market? Exploratory Surveying?
I could have sworn CNN had a Reuters article on this very same thing over a year ago. Could anyone help prove me with a link? Maybe I'm just losing it...
...though some would argue I never had it in the first place.

Who needs to wait? We're already in the next World War! And I can tell you this, it sure isn't WW III!

These two headlines would occure together:
"HIV/AIDS Extinct After W.H.O. Global Campaign!"
"World Population Skyrockets to 9 Billion in Unprecidented Babyboom!"
That'll teach it to keep hitting our eye like a big pizza pie! That's amore, yo!

We can get Jack Thompson in the express line...
But activity spiked in the circuits involved in reward, a response similar to what addicts experience when they get a fix.
Ah, so it's an addiction, kind of like video games (note: sarcasm) is it?
We must setup clinics to help these people! We can call them Reeducation Centers!
In Soviet United States, small makes... Oh, I'm just all too confused now.
Let's see that again in sloooo-motion, Ron!
