You can scroll up to the top of the forums here and see the same picture with some cool coloring. If you could duplicate that coloring on a larger version, I'll bet it would look cool with a silverish background...

Go watch the movie Dark City...that will explain it all! I would say more, but I don't want to give away the movie! :cheese:

I've been thinking the exact same thing. I keep getting my hopes up that Valve knows what they're doing. I just can't comprehend how a company who admittedly reads the forums can sit here and not even acknowledge all the grudges that people have against them. I keep doing this too. I keep...

AMEN! All these people acting like a delay of 5 days or so in the preloading of textures and sounds is the end of the world are driving me crazy. Valve's got their priorities straight. Getting the benchmark out last week will get us a lot closer to gold than this preload. Sure, this is a...

Hey now, I wouldn't go that far! ;)

Not to be anal, but his ratio would work out to women being 80% of the population, not 75%... :E 4:1 = 4 women for every 1 man = 80% women and 20% men... "learn your ratios..." ;)

Thanks for the info. I guess it would seem odd to have the crosshairs not centered in the 4:3 screen. Oh well. I can still see what the OP was saying about the boat appearing flat, but it's not really something to worry about...A boat with flat walls appears to have flat walls. It'll look...

lol, let's hope so...unfortunately he pointed out their problems so now they're probably better encrypted. He should have just sat on his trick and waited to use it when it would be really cool! ;)

Exactly what I was stating...just put a little clearer... :P

EDITED QUOTE to reduce annoying size 6 type... I just pulled up both of those images and they look the exact same in the areas concerned (the boat) so I don't think that the extended sky of the 4:3 screen hinders what he's pointing out. That said, I do think that it will look a lot...

Yes, but it will only sit on your hard drive so you won't have to download it later. It will be in an encrypted file and will not be accessible. I doubt there will be anything that we'll be able to get our hands on in this pre-cache.

Sure it's possible, but I don't think that this announcement relates to the 17th as a gold date in any way.

Wouldn't count on it...they've stated many times that steam and retail will be playable the same day. They've also stated that they would start pre-loading quite a while in advance so that everyone (even 56kers) would have a chance to get it downloaded on steam in time.

Hmmm, so on the 17th we should start seeing images of the various textures and audio tracks popping up after people figure out how to hack the precache! (-: Avoiding spoilers could become difficult...but ah well, great news!!! Obviously this doesn't mean that the RC was accepted and seems to...

As far as I know, you only get the HL2 coupons with retail packaged versions of certain ATI cards. The 9800 Pro was included in that promotion, but only if you bought the card by itself, not built into a system.

Anyways, back on topic... xbox rulz! ps2 sux!

lol, good timing...I was in the process of changing my location as you read that...I moved to Highlands Ranch a couple months ago and only just now noticed that it still said Lakewood... * TrantJD waves to BigNamek across town... * TrantJD grins at his ingenious use of the color tags...

* TrantJD bows in the presence of the great nw909 (who happens to have a bit too much time on his hands to average 18.96 posts a day) :E We've both been around about the same amount of time and probably read a similar number of posts (at least in the Half-Life 2 Discussion forum)...I guess...

True, but that was also a screen shot...I'm sure that scene crawled at that quality level on that generation of video cards (or the level was just that one room and all the texturing could fit onto a smaller video card). That would not be a playable part of the game at that detail level on...

Yeah, but we're talking spending over $1000 for that great video card and processor vs $150 for an xbox! Either way, I'll be playing the pc version and I probably won't even touch the xbox version, but pretty much the only thing they'll have to scale back on the xbox (aside from the obvious...
