What hides between Shadow and Light?

A bit of a mean trick to play if you're right - the website is in english.

Have you all seen the trailer for Unknown?

someone made a very smart comment about the light being bad, and it looks to me like prolonged exposure is something to be avoided.

Nah. In the beginning they are just throwing stuff into the light to show off how cool it is, then they remember they've got limited trailer length and start running. I'm guessing they are hiding in the shadows to avoid detection by monsters, just like in Penumbra. However I would love the idea of some sort of bright coloured monsters charging at you as soon as you step close to a bright hole in the roof or whatever. I was kind of hoping for some sort of "light fear" for Resident Evil 5 early on, before it turned out to be a non-scare co-op game.

Man, I figured that someone would of solved this by now.

I wonder what happens if you get it right...

You probably win a book of Jumbles or a Sudoku thing.

Ewww, gt. Even their comments are piss poor (from calling it a ripoff, to being console scrubs).

Yeah, I like how everyone was leaving comments like:

"Dude, definitely made with the Source Engine. Only the Source Engine can have realistic physics."

...and...

"fking LLLLAAAAAAMMMMMMEEEE. were r teh enimees?"

...and...

"the graphics are so lame why do thy wast our time wit this [stuff] if it dont got good graphics that makes game lame."

I'm paraphrasing of course, but I wish people would actually grow up and actually try and find out what the game is about (and information on the company that makes it) before leaving such dumb comments. I'm not criticizing those who made negative comments about it--just those who left presumptuous ones like that.

Eh, as they grow up they suddenly realize "Holy shit. These guys think they're funny?" and leave.
Of course 7 year old timmy comes along and "Oh man are these guys funny!"

People are born stupid, they love their Halo, FEAR and all the other games that use the simple storyboard of... BANG! BANG! RUN LIKE F**K!

Story isn't everything in a game. In fact story is nothing in video games. Lots of games have been very successful without having a storyline at all. Video games are about entertainment so what really matters is gameplay and controls, then comes graphics and sound. An interesting or inspirational presentation is also very important.
And if you don't understand the rather long story of Halo, that's your problem. I think the series have got a great story although it war poorly presented in the chapter Cortana and onwards.
