A gold date of August 30th means HL2 hits stores the week of: 1) August 30th (next week) 2) Sept. 6th 3) Sept. 13th 4) Sept. 20th 5) Sept. 27th

If any company will support Ati's ps2.0b (and thereby nvidia's ps3.0) it will be Valve. That inquirer article was way overblowing the significance of whql certification. The vid card companies have had non-whql drivers for years, and they've also developed new drivers specifically for the...

You're the type that wants one of those magic ball of yarn dealies where you pull the string and skip the hard parts of life: you'll pull so fast you'll wake up and find yourself in the year 2058, 87-years-old and shriveled, and I'll say, 'Look what you've done, wasted your life...' 'STFU...

Either I'm high, or that's an actually funny use of an Austin Powers catch phrase. :laugh: Congrats, FoB_Ed :cheers:

My sense is that hl2 has been ready by all normal standards since early this month, but due to the experiments with Steam and beta testing, they've crept it back until they're satisfied with those two projects. The beta was obviously planned later than it should have been (maybe they had to wait...

Compys? You have those little dinosaurs from Jurassic Park? Anyway, are you going to buy 5 licenses? Can you use one key on multiple computers as long as your logged into your Steam account on only one at a time?

Doesn't look like they did anything with textures or models :(

Someone should say it. Valve is happy that people buying it in the stores download it anyway. The real point of this all is as a proof-of-concept. They'd be happy to get 10 percent of their hl2 sales over steam. What they're really crossing their fingers for is that their later products can be...

me --> :monkee: btw, can you close the poll? no sense people throwing the results off now

The x800xt doesn't include hl2. Nor do the forthcoming x600xt's, I believe.

Someone finished check and tell us how big this cache file is.

It won't be an accident: your child hates you. :cool: Anyway, Erik said they want to do another hour of testing. Huh? How do you test textures? Maybe they mean testing Steam's readiness.

300kBytes. It's all in uber-compression done in assembly you see.

Yeah, see without presents under a tree, we'd all be wondering, 'will Christmas be delayed?'

oops. wrong one :rolling:

True. It's one thing to not know what you'll do in a few days and another not to know what you'll do in a few hours.

It seems most of the bugs are related to gamecode specific to CS. Who knows if they'll delay for something like that.

Yes. Yes it would. Voila! [it takes a while after you start the thread to make the poll.]

It's a good opportunity to survey y'all on your faith in Valve. Gabe's preload announcement means the preload starts: 1) 6pm tonight, give or take 20 mins. 2) tonight (before 10pm PST) 3) tomorrow 4) next week 5) give or take the price of eggs 6) end of time 7) never 8) after never...
