Psychological warfare. Maybe Valve is testing our limits with this third test, better known as the Vivendi lawsuit.
Maybe October 8 is when we'll get the gold announcement, the day they're supposed to go to court, and this whole thing is nothing more than an elaborate hoax, with Gamespot...
I'd like to see the difference between the 6800 and X800 series of cards, just to settle a few debates.
Also, does it have a built-in benchmark? Like Doom 3's timedemo demo1.
Just got out of a review meeting. 8/11 the Cafe's turn on (tomorrow). 8/16 CZ/ATI users pre-load. 8/18 CZ/ATI turns on. 8/17 HL-2 pre-load starts (textures, audio and other stuff that doesn't change).

Jess Cliffe announced today on the Steam forums that the CS: Source BETA began pre-loading today for cyber cafes part of the Valve Cyber Café Program. The first phase of this BETA will be playable at these cafes on Wednesday, the 11th.
Those of us with Counter-Strike: Condition...
With the release of the Doom 3 benchmarks, Nvidia has the upperhand in the D3 benchmarks. In the past with the 59xx and 9xxx series of cards, ATI clearly had the advantage in HL2.
My question is this: do you think ATI still has supremacy in the HL2 benchmarks with the X800 series of cards...
I'm asking because they have to pay for the network operation. Other than that, I'm thinking it's pure profits. No retailer, distributor, etc. If this is the case, I'll buy through Steam so Valve gets more cash.
I remember seeing the first pictures of TF2 and seeing helicopters, but then I read a thread that described the leaked TF2 source, and there was no mention of them. Any idea if they're still in?
In the E3 2004 videos, did anyone else notice the improvement over last years videos in regards to the lighting?
Before, when an object transitioned between a light and dark parts of the environment, the change from light to dark would appear to be instant on the object itself. In the 2004...
Ok everyone, continuing my other thread..... we're here to buy lunch for the folks at Valve.

I was thinking about sending the 65 people who work there pizza for lunch one day soon. I say we all chip in and make it happen.
I just got this email from Rick at Valve:
We love pizza :) There are about 65 people total. We really appreciate things like this from the fans to thank you...
After reading the latest interview from Sweden, I felt that it was necessary to start up a TF2 related topic. From the interview with Gabe:
How are things progressing with TF2?
It's going well, we are at the finishing stages of that development process as well. After ECTS 1999, we...
I read in The Inquirer a month or two back that a VERSION of CS with enhanced Source graphics was coming down the pike. They also mentioned that CS2 was in development.
So, with the announcements that came today, and the email that just came from Rick at Valve in the Valve Info sticky, I've...
I'm just hoping that its not just a tech demo that was used to show off the engine's potential. I'm hoping all the DX9 effects that we've been shown will be in the final cut. Anyone know?
