    (political) should drugs be legal?

    Statistics mean nothing. The only reason ONLY 2000 people have died from heroin and 2000 from cocaine is because the average joe cant go to the local Wal Mart and pick them up. Think of how many would die if it were legalized. The world would be pretty hellish. Marijuana I have mixed...

    Playing Hookie

    I skipped high school all the time my senior year. By then you realize as long as you're not a total idiot that high school is easy and most of it is a waste of time, yet even while skipping I pulled a 3.5 average. Now that I'm in college it's more of "Well I can skip, but I'll probably fail...

    You got some real dumbasses in the US

    Psh, there's dumbasses everywhere. Canadians, fellow Americans, Europeons, there's dumbasses in every crowd. Travel the world, meet more dumbasses. That's what I do, and boy is it fun. :) Make's me feel good though, to know that I haven't fallen into the total dumbass trap yet. :P

    Longest time without eating

    When my wisdom teeth were taken out. The anesthesia knocked me out for a good week, and I think in that time I ate maybe about 4 or 5 cups of JELLO. When I could finally move without throwing up, I ate a giant thing of chili cheese fries, 4 coney dogs, and downed a liter of water. Then I...

    Midnight on the 16th for steam confirmed yet??

    Valve isnt exactly the pinnacle of security now are they? Eh em. ;) Seriously though, I doubt Valve has some prog running that automatically allows distribution on the 16th. Valve said it themselves, if they find that a store has been selling the game before the 16th, they release it...

    It's incoming?

    Looks to me like a signboard with half-life 2 boxart tiled on it. Nothing here. Move along citizen.

    For those of you craving for MOD's.....

    I think the only reason the mods section is stagnant is because there's no SDK yet. Once that baby gets released, mods'll pop up all over the place. No worries man. :)

    Why HL2DM is necessary, and how to go about it

    Ah but DM can still be fun. If you dont go into it thinking it's going to be some new revolutionary type of gameplay, you wont be disappointed. DM may not be too big on the net anymore, but small LAN crews like mine DM is about all we can play and still have fun. Try playing a round based...

    Nov 16th....the day this section goes out of control

    There'll be nothing here but people that cant get the game to work, or people that can't get the game period. The chaos shall ensue 2 weeks later when people start beating it and getting tired of it.

    Getting the most from your HL2 experience

    haha I can see it now, setting up a strange pile of dressers, chairs, tables, and dead bodies under a ramp with the manipulator... then jumping into my buggy and trying to jump them. Evil Kanievil HL2 here I come!

    HL2 internet activation and early shipping?

    I think Valve is fishing for reasons to release the game early over Steam. If you havent heard, Valve wants people to use Steam. :P What better reason to use it than to get games earlier and easier?

    Why HL2DM is necessary, and how to go about it

    Wonkers, I believe what Physicles is worried about is the ease of creating new mods from an HL2 DM base. Trying to create something new out of code that's already been modded (CS:S) is much tougher than trying to create something new out of a base code (HL2 DM). Physicles was stating that the...

    about stealth

    Though Doom 3 wasnt exactly the pinnacle of realism... you know, they WERE demons following you... which were from HELL. I'd kind of expect them to be able to sense me no matter where I went. The only games I've ever seen do the "not home in on you" thing well were the thief games. You...

    Tell him that HL is amazing, but to stay away from the CS community. They're evil and have no morals. :P (joking... for the most part.)

    Windows 98=bad performance ???

    XP Pro is probably your best bet. I have Win2k Pro and it works out fine, but networking with XP can be a pain sometimes. And since Win2k isnt sold anywhere that I know of, XP is probably the best out there as of now. Plus, you can make XP look not so bubbly and more like Win2k and...

    Half Life Film? yes or no?

    Perhaps if they created the movie around the game, but not directly ported from game to movie. Introduce a new main character ala Opposing Force. Perhaps have small glimpses of Gordon, but not have him, nor Shepard as the main characters. I mean, you can still have a movie surrounding the...

    Steam has free shipping as well, and you're paying Valve directly! :D

    So I found out in study-hall today.. on shacknews

    When I told one of my buddies about HL2 going gold he said, and I quote, "It'll be a cold day in hell. I'll believe it when you've gotten it and beaten it... and even then I'll still have doubts."

    Windows 98=bad performance ???

    I would suggest getting Windows 2000 or higher. 98 is hardly the minimum for anything anymore. You have a fairly good computer, why not give it some loving and give it a nice updated OS? :)
