    What The Mofu Hell?!?!??!

    No kidding.. I downloaded CS and tried to run it but it just freezes, so i Ctrl Alt Delete out and check the Steam monitor and it says it's updating HL, so i try to launch HL and it says 490 minutes... WTF? I downloaded HL and CS 1.6 on Steam beta 10x faster then just HL is updating now. If Hl2...

    preparing to play counterstrike

    You must still have the beta version because mine works fine :D J/K, Steam release didn't go as smooth as Valve had hoped for and there are some more kinks to work out, but once it's finally working, it will be a good little program. I like the fact that I can play CS and my friend can...

    3D sky box

    Your point being? The city will be huge in scope.. and I imagine many things will be interactive.. but yes, there will be limitations.. I think this was discussed before also :D

    NVidia users need not worry, just yet

    I am not scared.. I have a Radeon 9700 pro in my main computer, and a Geforce Ti 4600 in my secondary computer.. I play games on both, and the only thing I really notice different is the Radeon can handle AF and AA better when maxed.. without AA and AF they are almost the same graphics wise. I...

    Steam final is out

    I am on highspeed cable.. the first time I downloaded CS over Steam, after many months of beta when most people already had it, it finished it 17 minutes.. was fast and I was like, sweet, that means Hl2 will download in less then an hour. But now, with the release of Steam non-beta, I...

    Lets see some lower CPU Benchmarks people!

    Yeah!! HERE HERE!! I have 2 pretty high end computers and know the game will run well on both, but I also have what they call a 'MINIMUM REQUIREMENT' computer, a 1 ghz Athlon with a GF 3 ti 200 (well, maybe a little better then their min req) and would like some benchmarks on lower end...

    What's your STEAM ID # ?

    I started downloading this crap 2 hours ago and it's still downloading CS... what a bunch of horse crap.. CS isn't even that big, what the hell will happen when I download HL2??? If I ever finish the download , says 30 minutes now, yet an hour ago it said 52 minutes, I might have something nice...

    Steam final is out

    I noticed as I am downloading CS 1.6 that in the changes it says they removed the bots.. I really hope that they will add them back because I like to sometimes play offline with my son against the bots on our lan. Or at least they let us use Podbot with my waypoints in it. Damn CS is...

    steam is out!

    Damn, I go out to the store for 5 minutes (okay an hour, so what) and come back and Steam was released.. now I have to settle for a high # , arghh.. :) Big flipping deal, it's not like they will be releasing anything else anytime soon and my guess is HL2 will be delayed til mid October at the...

    New Video

    Morons... Damn this post should be deleted.. i got to page 10 and said, OMFG how long is this... skipped to end.. YOWSERS.. to much useless reading for me :D And the video was cool... too short, but looked awesome, minus the obvious stuff that's been mentioned probably in this 113 page...

    Online petition to remove Steam from single player

    Shesh... how many morons are on this world, because I want to move to a more intelligent planet :D If you want to play HL2 offline, buy the retail version, if you want access to everything Valve has to offer get Steam, and you can play HL2 on any computer with internet access using your...

    Benchmark Result Debate - Lies??

    All games are competitors for GOTY :) Even that stupid Sims crap which most ppl somehow enjoy and buy. And my contrast is at 100%, brightness 50% and I fiddled with them all, the monitor, the desktop and the D3D settings to try to get a good balance.. but when i finally do, and play...

    Benchmark Result Debate - Lies??

    My Geforce 4 ti 4600 is in my Athlon 1800+ which had a geforce 3 ti 200 , this way me and my son can play HL 2 together.. my 2 ghz Athlon 2500 (200x10) should be more then okay to run HL2 with my 9700 pro, but I might upgrade the cpu to a 3000 xp before then. And I adjusted everything ...

    Benchmark Result Debate - Lies??

    Lots of competition out there coming up.. although HL2 may be a clear winner in our minds, games like Stalker, Doom3, Call of Duty and many upcoming FPS are in others minds. It's almost certain HL2 will be great, but I am also looking forward to the others in almost as much anticipation as they...

    Benchmark Result Debate - Lies??

    I just bought a Radeon 9700 pro and with the newest Cat 3.7 drivers all my games seem relatively dark except when I look at the light (bulbs, sky, glare) and then it's almost blinding. Never experienced this before on my old GF 4600. Sure the games look great and run smooth, but it's hard to...

    EB release date

    Nov 20th seems so far fetched considering we are almost at the middle of September now... my guess is this 'guy' has no clue at the release date and is pulling your leg. Really stupid for Valve to delay the game til Nov 20th this close to their confirmed release date, and if they do you can...

    Guess if you are getting the collectors edition that you will be playing it once all of us have already finished the SP game :D

    Best Video Card for HL2? Under $200

    Now that was a great card.. no AA or AF to fiddle with.. ran 3d games at blistering speeds with awesome detail.. Now it's all about which card can run faster with AA and AF maxed instead of great quality.. Sure games look great now, much better then 5 years ago, but come on, we should be at...
