Sorry... I really should check my spelling. It should have been... Or have a grabbed the wrong end of the stick?

Roger! The does depend on your definition of energy in this context however. You could easily argue a conventional gun is an energy weapon, transferring large amount of kinetic energy to the target. :sniper: I'm intrigued, explain further. How would the disintegration of something cause it...

I'm glad your a member of this forum... you are giving me a great deal of fun! Of course you can have infinitesimal (there's the correct spelling for you) density and volume. Almost everything can be infinitesimal. Don't let the fact that that's not what he said stop you though. What Animal...

What is this... a forum for people to try and make themselves look clever? I am sure everyone here knows everything you have said. It's common knowledge for anyone who has had any amount of education. Why mention nanobots? There are many other ways to assemble matter, none of which add to...

YOu get bad grammar by the looks of it.

Maybe this is the normal effect when you are killed, letting you see the scene around you as you die. A nice effect I think, very stylish. Am I right in thinking I have seen this effect on death in other games? Max Payne springs to mind.

The highlighted section in the quote above is proof that your theory is imaginative at best, and completely wrong at worst. Nice try though. :D Was this a serious attempt at an explanation, or were you just trying to show of you 'understanding' of quarks? You made the effort to indicate...

Hmm... Do you think Valve worry themselves too much with how these weapons would work in reality? At the end of the day it's a model of a non real weapon, that can be used to attack you in a similar way as other projectile weapons, and looks great when it's being fired.

A heat haze is caused by light 'bending' (changing its direction of travel), in exactly the same way light would 'bend' in a gravitational field. When you see a 'heat shimmer' what do you think it is you are seeing?

This is one of those times when you should put the keyboard away I think!

He has his own Internet... he must be special!

I'm not sure that anyone's understanding why I am asking this. The graph shows your ping over time, but it breaks down the ping into the parts that make it up. If you look in the two graphs I have posted, you will see that there are peaks (around action). If you were to know what made up the...

A laptop will always be the poorer brother of a desktop when it comes to gaming. I agree however that a laptop of a decent spec (I am presuming it is), which includes good quality components (mother board etc), should do better than you are getting. What does it do for other games?

Indeed, they are a history of the in and out data, but they include more than just that. Each bar on the graph is made up of different colours, each presumably showing where the total time is being made up. What I am really asking for is what the different colors relate to. I disagree that...

Thanks for that. That;s the bits I understand! :)

Could someone in the know, do the honors and explain to me what the different elements of the two attached net_graph screenshots. I understand: - fps - ping - in - out It's just the graph itself that I am not sure about. Specifically could someone explain the meaning of the colours...

I've experienced a grenade bug which I haven't seen mentioned before. If you change to a different weapon just as you are throwing a grenade the following happens: - The grenade does not get thrown. - The grenade is taken from your inventory. To get this effect the timing has to be...

That's the biggest hamster I ever saw!

Glod star (or gold HL2, whichever you prefer) to that man! Pre-allocating more RAM, which is basically what setting the heapsize in this way does, will only have the effect of decreasing load times. Doing this means that whenever a resource on disk needs loading in to memory, the OS will not...

Okay, We've seen the hl2.net sprays, now lets see them in situ. Let's have a poll after a few days, with the following categories: - Most humorous - Most ownage in one screen - Any other ideas? Here's my basic example to keep us going until we’ve all got some better:
