Cary Brothers is actually just one guy (first name Cary, last name Brothers). But yeah, he's awesome. :)

It's "Trebuchet MS". Standard Windows font i think...... EDIT: I may be wrong....but it seems the closest one to it that I've come across...

Thanks! Yeah I got an A for my AS.....so I guess the work paid off! Glad you like it!

I painted this a few months ago as a final piece for my AS in Art and Design. Our project was "expressive cityscapes", so I thought....what better cityscape to concentrate on than City 17! Plus it gave me an excuse for looking on halflife2.net for "work"! My claim was that the painting...

That's too bad. Mine is on the 15th! :P

Not that I recall. It was voted best PC Game in one year's Top 100, but HL1 had that title for about 4 years previously. GTA games are ok to start with, but they tend to get boring after a while. Once the hype has died down, I think a lot of people tend to see that it's a lot of fuss about...

Thanks, but it has been posted already! It's even on the front page!

$70.44 includes tax. This equals £38.30.....no added costs. This is all.

Exchange rates fluctuate.....but when I ordered it a couple of weeks ago it was £39 tax included (can't remember exact pence!). EDIT: Just done a check. 70.44 USD = 38.30 GBP.

My brother has the same specs except a 3.06 as opposed to a 2.66 processor......however he can run CS:S with all on high with a pretty good framerate (40s). You should be able to run with medium-high options and get a good performance.

Heh....excellent.

There's this sound of a gate opening that is used in hundreds of tv programs and films......it annoys me every time I hear it. The same *eek eeer* noise ARGH. Oh, and there's a recording of children's laughter that's overused too....

Valve can't release it until Vivendi are ready to release the retail copies to the shops (part of the contract between the companies). It takes time to manufacture these. Therefore.....we have to wait. Or at least that's how I understand it.....

This wouldn't happen. Shops are given more than enough copies to sell, and preorders are shipped from a warehouse, which will have an even greater excess. Vivendi aren't stupid.....they know the demand for this game and will produce more than enough copies to meet the demand.

I upgraded from 512mb to 1 gig a few weeks ago and I've noticed a huge difference. Loading times are greatly improved in all games, particularly CS:S, and Doom 3 is much less jumpy. I would go for it, especially since RAM is really cheap.
