This is entirely incorrect.
You meet Alyx, and she talks to you = scripted event.
There will be tonns of scripted sequences in hl2. What they were trying to empasize in the video is the fact that many things that LOOK like scripted sequences will not be and instead will be incorporated...
Re: Allows me to educate you boobs
Great post Janglur, I wish my hardware course taught me these things instead of recipies for making half-adders and assembly for motorolla 68000 chip.
A couple of things I don't get though are, firstly, if you cite the Opteron to have a 1.8Ghz clock...
Another thing that bugs me is the fact that it just starts downloading things when it needs to update without asking for confirmation. What if I dont' want to download that update. My ISP has download caps. What if I'm about to go over the cap but tomorrow is a new billing period? I will end up...
I think that's a bit of a different story. You are actually looking for ward to the movie precisely because you already know what's going to happen. A person that's never read LOTR is likely to not give a rats ass about the third movie cause they didn't udnerstand anything from the first two and...
Define "people like you" if you will.

Halo had amazing graphics for a first generation xbox game. I think now the graphics are a little dated though even though gearbox completely rewrote the graphics engine for halo. It looks a lot like planetside but doesn't look to be nearly as fun. Also they said that Gearbox built mp maps...
They probably said DX9 instead of Direct3D because Direct3d provides a complete rendering pipeline whereas in DX9 you can program your own pixel shaders which go into the pipeline and hence it's not really Direct 3d but a custom built graphics pipeline.
I think that there will be a TV ad closer to the release date and possibly also some time after release. We shouldn't underestimate the number of people that hear about the game but don't really have the time or the interest to follow up on it until its release date and so they think "It'd be...
Most RPGs nowadays use it because they usually pit you against the same monster models colored differently in later levels. Most recently I saw this in Dark Cloud 2.
