It is just a simple mistake. The person who wrote the story about the early sales obviously didn't check before he wrote it and assumed the Final Hours story was going to be released the same night the game is. The countdown to the story on the page is correct. Tomorrow at 3:30pm.

What alientank so horribled tried to convey is that violent video games\movies\music and anything else people want to sensor are not the root cause of people's behavior. However, a person who is messed up in the head can get ideas from a movie\game\song and act upon it. Games and movies are...

First off most Americans don't indulge in law suits. Secondly the patent only covers vector displays in a very early state and not all the other advancements in 3D that have come since. And lastly there where many papers published by universities before this patent was filled describing the same...

You are right. That kind of sucks. None of the retail sites are stating this and some are even listing it as the full book. False advertising. I can buy the full book if I like the sample chapter that is included.

You are right that the view is zoomed in but in HL2 there are other guns that zoom in besides the crossbow. You can see it in the bink videos. I think it is one of those guns. I can't see someone attacking two striders with a zoomed in crossbow but.... it would explain why he only has 1 hit...

Bolded for emphasis. The key here is THEY have the proof not me. I am not saying Valve is a dishonest company but they are a company. You can't expect them to protect your rights as a consumer. You have to do that.

You could have just said "Dodge Ball Mod". I think it is pretty hard to target a moving object with the gravity gun so the mod would have to twick that but it has potential to be a fun mod to play around in while we wait for a good MP one to come out.

Don't start a new thread after I reply to this same post in another thread!!! Now you are forcing me to repost here.

You just described the retail CE edition I have preordered.... Except for the DVD "the making of hl2". I wish that was in there. I guess we get a T-Shirt instead of a signed poster also. I prefer a tshirt over a poster anyways but that is probably because I am older and I don't like...

For the people who can never load web pages.

This is the one flaw Steam has IMO. They need to more closely tie an account with a really person and not some username/password combo. If someone stole my credit card or my debit card/pin number I could easily prove to the bank that the account was mine because they have all my personal info...

These people are talking about the XBox version of CS. These are console gamers talking. They don't know that Counter Strike was a mod of half-life. They don't even know half-life exists. Heck most of them don't even know CS was on the PC years before it was but on XBox live and that what they...

The book is in the CE edition which comes out on the 16th so it has to be ready to go by now. It will probably hit the shelfs at the same time.

You use the GCFScape tool which lets you look at the contents of .gcf files and extract them. http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis/index.php?c=76#p76

Why do people pay 90 bucks for a big package from Valve and then rip the CD and put it on a torrent site for a bunch of losers they don't know to get it for free. I don't understand this. If I pay for something and someone asks me to give it them for free I give them some choice words. (and yes...

Yes, specific parts will be destroyable but they will not be significant to any level design. I don't think the strider stuff is scripted but I am sure that the strider AI is programmed to know where the breakable stuff is around it so it can cut a path through. Like blowing up a bridge in its...

What is all this talk of Halo 2 falling. Just because some whiners complain on the forums about it doesn't mean it has falling. The same will happen here. People will show up at 1am complaining about something they don't like. Halo 2 has a very, very, very good MP component. I for one have no...

Did I leave that fact out? :naughty: Honest mistake :angel:

I am not buying Halo 2 because I don't own an XBox but as a Microsoft employee who owns stock and has a vested interest in how well Bungie does I am quite satisfied with it cleaning house. I will play through it coop at a friends house. And yes, we don't need to worry about HL2 sells. I...

Relax, with the SDK and the game files for HL2 it would take you a few sceonds to extract the songs you like convert them to MP3s. Downloading a ripped CD is illegal. Converting a game sound track you own is not. (As long as you don't burn it to CD and try selling it or using it for commercial...
