^^That's exactly what I meant. Give em hell UndeadScottsman. ^^This is exactly what I meant as well. If it's a colony, there's no point investing anything else thant the production capacity to extract the resources (the factories and the slaves) and an enforcement system to make sure nothing...

Sorry to disapoint you guys, but my brother is a combine, and he told me that erm... , oh well, nevermind. I guess you guys have a good point about not seeing any leftover combine structures at all on xen. But Breen does look kinda like a vortigaunt.

I'm really not trying to be an ass here, but calling others opinion ridiculous is the greatest threat to this whole modernity question. He's just really asking: Have we really thought it through? Do we know where we are going? Should we? There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. On the other...

Thanks for answering. I understand what you mean by the combine on xen theory being small-minded. But it doesn't exclude the possibility of a third actor trying to sabotage the combine empire. Consider this: So the vortigaunts fled their home world to end up in xen. This is the new fact we've...

Everyone should have the right to an opinion. To the OP: Don't get scared by modernity man. It's cool. It's our purpose. That's why we're here. To evolve. To use our potential. Polution, war, inequality, animal extinction, .... those are clearly problems created by our evolution, but at the...

No, you just assume to much. It's not because they fled from their homeworld that their enemy didn't catch up with them. To me it seems very clear that nihilanth was the vortigaunts dr.Breen. 1)vortigaunts flee to xen 2)combine follows them there and opress them my making the big trooper guys...

I'm not listening to you nay sayers. The movie has potential, it's made for one of the biggest franchises in gameland. Just because other game movies were crap doesn't mean this on will be as well. Anyway I like sci-fi movies on mars (or any other planet) were hell breaks loose.

This guy is pretty much right on it: http://members.shaw.ca/halflifestory/ The xenian method is like it is in hl1 because black mesa scientists opened a gateway to xen and nihilanth kept it open and started attacking earth. Nihilanth couldn't open a gateway himself, so he didn't have a choice...

OK, here goes my .02: [concept1] Logically speaking you *can't* find out if he's really from the future, so it serves no purpose to argue about that, let alone take a stance and say he's for real or he's a fraude. So forget about this issue for a moment. [concept2] The natural state of men is...

by the way, an on/off switch would be just as bad as pulling the plug. What you could do is check the power/suspend settings, set HDD off after 1 minute, wait for that minute to go by so it turns off your hard disks, and then pull the plug. It's a sort of workaround, but it's not great. You...

I had a P1.5 with a geforce ti4200 that could run HL2(medium settings), and even doom3(low/medium), so you should be fine. Remember that your FX card was supposed to run in DirectX9 mode, put it isn't strong enough. You must force your games to be in DirectX8.1, or your pc will get in trouble...

there's a lot to know before you can make a good empire. About the workers: they are faster when you change your state to a monarchy, and become even faster when you change to democracy. Picking an industrious civilization also works to have faster workers. And finally, I usually pair up my...

I read some nvidia cards have the reboot problem you're talking about. I just crash to the desktop myself. (all this since the update about an hour ago) They'll fix this quickly, I'm sure.

My friends list doesn't work anymore **runs away dodging bullets** (seriously I can't play cs:s hangs everytime and console fills itself with errors before hang)

I had the same problem. Turns out ZONE ALARM was requesting access on the background. But now, whenever I try to join a server, hl2.exe crashes and I return to the desktop. I can actually see people play for about 1.5 second before this happens. Very very frustrating. Now where's my bottle of...

They're just trying to piss us off. The trailers, the so called "zombie-story", it's all fake. Look deep inside yourself. Really deep. I think they're setting us up. Let me explain: -the most important aspect of doom: hell. Why change it, the game's rated 17+ anyway (and they didn't care...

I have to agree that the AI was focused on destroying you more than watching out for itself. I never got past medium difficulty for a succesfull campaign. What made it hard was the AI not respecting your borders at all and declaring war when you told them to get out. I read somewhere this should...

I know what you mean. I just stopped living for a couple of weeks when civ3 came out. I've never played anything else that addicting and soothing. It's almost as good as beer and sex combined, only there's no weird morning after hangover, and you get to conquer the world.
