Hehe... good stuff.

I agree. It would be cool to mess with the physics inside that factory with the manipulator.

Is it just me or does the G-Man's speech seem a little weird; his annunciation of some words seem very unnatural, like he's sticking on every syllable.

Naw... if you've seen that poor guy getting beheaded you've seen too much. Some guys at work saw the underground version and were really distrubed by it. I usually check stuff like that out (i.e. faces of death movies) but I choose not watch this. Seriously people who are viewing the actual...

Yeah, HL2 is looking damn good. I think I'm back to my pre-Sept 30th excitment level and I'm almost as excited about HL1 and CS on source. It's a good time to be a gamer. MGS3 looks INSANELY cool as well.

I think the glossy shiny effect on surfaces is bump mapping. An example of HDR is the glow around objects when a bright light is behind them. If you remember the Source HDR bink video, with the shiny ant lion, the bright glow in around the windows of the attic room was HDR.

HDR = High Dynamic Range lighting.

Well it sure does look like it's HDR. I guess we'll know for sure when these new vids are released as Binks.

It looks like it, but I'm not really sure. In the train station it looks like its in place in the skylights before you reach the security station. Also the bright flood lights seem to have a HDR type effect going on as well.

Good point. Lets hope they give us some more details!

Unfortunately I don't have hosting capablities. I can upload to someone if they want.

Thats what I was thinking, but sadly I think that this type of teaser trailer is all we might get. Last year was the tech demo, unveiling of Source technology, and Half Life 2 inital unveiling. That's the reason for the 15 minute demo. I doubt that they'd release something that big this...

Um, how about no. I viewed the streaming quicktime 640x480 video, (and used "save source" in quicktime pro to save it.), and it looks great. The boxes at the end really excited me. The time for release is drawing near!

Well said.

Indeed. I sense much fear in them.

Well so much for that. I dl'd the Strider vid at that rate, now I'm at 5 - 7 kb/s with the coastline vid. Oh well, the universe is back to normal.

Well amazingly enough, I'm dling it at 1.8 - 2.1+ mb/s. Thats the fastest bittorrent dl I've ever had. :D

Amen to that.

Haha. I just noticed how many times I used the word "extra" in one sentence. Too tired... need to go to sleep.

Wow, now that sounds like good fun. I hope they put in ALOT of extra physics extras like that in the extra time they've had.
