What if the thief stole both keys? Remember someone highlighted the point that you can buy the game then return it for a refund soon after, giving plently of time to copy down all cd keys etc.

I guess Gabe is next on his hit list then :P

Hmm wrong forum? I thought you were going to start a discussion on the 'scanners' in HL2 (those floating, flying machines that watch you)

I guess if you buy from a store you better rush home to activate the key in case someone took a sly look at it 5 minutes earlier. Better yet, dont buy from stores at all unless the product has some sort of seal (such as cellophane) to protect it. Personally, i always mail order, its cheaper and...

Maybe the solution is to generate the key during the disc manufacturing and have the key automaticaly stored into an easily accessible txt file. However i think the situation of someone breaking open a box in the middle of the store quite rare. Besides if nobody noticed someone pulling this...

The DVD cases are usually wrapped tightly cellophane to prevent this. If HL2 uses a box then i bet the cd key will be stored inside a CD case, also with cellophane.

He had friends in high places.

Dr Breen says he has an 'administration' in the videos, thats no spoiler. Im still wondering who 'lm' is though, if anything. Remember Vortigaunts are Slaves controlled by Nihilanth. If you ever wondered what the green bracelets and head bands they wore were for, now you know. Creatures...

Your assuming the gun is completely unmodifed from the one in that picture On a related note i noticed in 2004 video the player clearly selects the crossbow icon from the menu but switches to the mp7 intead. Bet this has been mentioned before though.

Once the game has been cracked you can create a new installer out of the contents of the hl2 installation folder. Even if windows was designed to detect these things, people would make work arounds for that too. There are a whole communities of very dedicated crack makers and only one of them...

Promoting your mod long before release is oftern a bad idea. While its a good way to attract new team members, the hype and inflated expectations which follow can lead to the situation where your afraid to release the thing unless its perfection (e.g DNF and dozens of mods i dont care to...

The silver appears to be the back of the box. There probably concepts, like the other stuff hanging up in their offices.

Im 100% convinced both videos show different versions of the same level. The biggest change i noticed was the tide, its much higher now. If you pause at point where the buggy is driven under the ramp (2003 video) you can see lots of stuff in the distance. The long rail bridge with the...

Not everyone that will play HL2 will have internet access. The game is installed from a legit CD then cracked to work without needing the CD present.

BEHOLD! The next generation of Hazardous Environment Suits: http://www.nobeliefs.com/washingtonnews/bio-suit.gif

HL2.net should run a 'design gordon a HEV helmet for HL2' compo :D

How about you remake it, yeah that would be 'AWESOME'! Whats that? you have never made a game or mod in your life? Wow, never of guessed.

Id really like to see those pieces...

Well they had to remove the helmet in the expansion packs to make it obvious it was gordon and not some random HEV suit wearing scientist. Again, artistic licence. Also, i dont buy the 'holographic projection' theory, are you saying the HUD appears floating in front of their eyes?. Maybe you...
