http://www.halflife2.net/index.php?page=enemies Rollermines You'll find these rollermines scattered across the many roads outside City 17. If you're driving a vehicle these little things will try to attach themselves and disable it. If you're on foot they will zap you with electricity...

I got the CE preordered here in the US and it does come out on the 16th. That has already been said but I wanted to post with my new signature to one up B-MAn. :)

Here is a link to the actual patent. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=4,734,690.WKU.&OS=PN/4,734,690&RS=PN/4,734,690 From browsing through it it looks like they are describing vector graphics but I am not...

You don't need to buy through Steam to take advantage of Steam extras. I don't know why people think that. Steam is how Valve updates games now and how it will deliver new content after release. It is not cost effective for them to keep track of who bought through steam and who clicked on the...

Consoles and arcade games are big in Japan. They go through them like we do hollywood movies. Whenever a great PC title comes out over here someone in the Japan gaming industry tries to get it to the arcades before it comes to consoles. They do very well compared to your average arcade game over...

Linkage. It is funny. http://uploads.ungrounded.net/88000/88217_abc.swf

You can right click on it and uncheck topmost. That way other windows can go on top of it. You can use the Alt-Tab key combination to bring the window back in focus. It is called HL2 in the alt tab window and has a blank window icon. I forgot to to add the HL2 icon to the form.

I don't use chat programs ever. They interrupt my work too much (as if this site and that counter always running has me at optimum work efficiency) and at home I am either not on the computer or in a full screen game and I don't want to be bothered. I will PM you next week when this site deems...

It is an optional download on windows update. Here is a direct link. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&DisplayLang=en

The bolded red does hint at a possible solution to your problems. As far as the hours are concerned it goes off of the current time on your box which is only 10 hours away up until the time the clocks roll back. When that happens you will have an hour added onto the timer. It doesn't count...

I fixed the two annoying bugs I found this morning. Sorry no option to change the timezone it uses to count down. Too much work for a feature I don't need. Sorry, I leave in Redmond 5 miles from Valve so I don't need the feature. Hopefully this will be my last post of this thing. Only 17 days...

Sample pictures I attached an image with a few sample shoots of it. Well, I found two bugs that I didn't get at home when I uploaded it last night. Bug 1: If when you first launch it it has no text below the countdown exit the application and go to the registry key...

Okay, You can't edit attachments so I started a new thread so people who already downloaded it can see it. I modified it some so you can customize what is says or even which game it is counting down for (We can set it to a good MP mod release date after the 16th). [edit] Right click to bring...

I was thinking of adding some more options like letting you change the text below the countdown and an option to turn of the transparency and add a background image and include a slider for opacity of the window if there is a background image. If you have any other feature request let me know...

Got .NET? You need the .NET Framework version 1.1 from Microsoft. You can get it from windows update under the optional software section or from the download page.

Update - added some options 7hoR, thanks for the feedback. It does look big on lower resolutions. I added an option to pick from three sizes. Small, medium and large. I also added a font color preference. Those options are stored in the registry under...

I got tired of not being able to easily change my wallpaper around because of the counters. I also got tired of not being able to see the count down when doing other stuff. So I wrote this for myself and I know some people on these forums have been asking for a transparent countdown so I decided...
