The Verve - Lucky Man. ...just got back from a nice bike ride, kickin' it in front of the fire with the wife, the dog, and some nice chow. Fsck yeah.

HA! I'm very much not into Metallica, so it took a moment to sink in, but that's hilarious. Oblig...

I started getting these maybe two updates ago, and haven't been able to play. It just updated again today, and the game still hangs. I've tried some basic things (verifying cache integrity, deleting clientregistry.blog, deleting the bin folder, and changing the resolution in the launch options)...

I don't miss the over-the-top difficulty, where it seemed difficult just for the sake of being hard. Grinding through those was never rewarding for me; after several dozen tries, I just wanted to get past it and see the rest of the game (and I could regularly beat Contra, Side Arms, Black Tiger...

I thought the different surface types added immensely to the gameplay (which in this case is the solving of the puzzles). Portal may have seemed tougher since it was (presumably) the first time you were set to solving those types of puzzles. By the time Portal 2 came out, you already knew most...

...just throwing this out there: is the power button on the laptop shorted? There are a number of ways that this would present itself that are not what you're experiencing, but at least one of them could be.

Hopefully they're not starting from scratch? There are a lot of hard lessons getting aircraft that high.

^ What do those switches do?

...and minor ones (or is Opera considered a major one?) Slashdot is my fave (I'm not signed up though).

The old engine was crushed under the weight of excessive hats.

No. I've fired mine up in the car maybe twice when I was in an unfamiliar city and was looking for a gas station. Both times, I pulled over and got the directions down in my head before proceeding.

Hey scanner, I've got to ask: what made you want to sign up here? Not that you're not welcome (it's not often that we get new members whose first post isn't a parade of some variety of their baggage), but I'm genuinely curious.

I get creeped out easier than most in video games, and at no time did the G Man ever seem creepy to me. Two humans, both with apparent business at the laboratory, having a private conversation? Of course he's looking at you, you're staring at them. Riom's post above was about the creepiest thing...

...near a friend's house in San Francisco, not under construction.

I'm glad they made one (wasn't sure if they would for a while). I think the eyeball is a hoot.

So it just occurred to me that this is a Steam game, meaning patches are handled through Steam. This hi-def pack would be huge, many gigabytes perhaps? Are they going to pump that down Steam? I'd be happy to spend a buck on a DVD (or whatever medium would contain it, maybe a flash drive) that...

Haven't played Metro 2033 yet? Definitely worth it. Has Id actually stated that they're working on a high-def pack, or is that the wishful ranting of the Internet at large?

...whenever you visit halflife2.net? I'm using Opera, and haven't seen that prompt (although I was unable to connect for periods of time yesterday).

Nah, he's thinking of Prey.

I replay them all from time to time, but I've been holding off so that when Episode 3 comes out, I'll play them all in order and they won't be as fresh in my mind.
