In regard to Inc's last post: You're arguing semantics, man and the logic you're basing the comments off of is flawed. What I said was plain fact, not over simplifying it, granted it is very pared down. Heh. I've got to get some sleep before work, but maybe I'll write up a more detailed response...
Not to be too glib, but you'd be one of them, Incitatus. Freedom of speech isn't a law in a message board. Forums are bound by certain terms of agreement and whatever rules the owner decides. They could ban every third word if they wanted and it'd be wholly legal in every respect.
Dmitri, you should check out the Call of Duty demo if you haven't already. It's got that exact (for the most part) stun effect when a mortar goes off near you. So damn cool. You can download it at www.codfiles.com
I know it's just the author's own speculation, but you have to look at it in context with the entirety of the article itself. Come on, the whole thing is phrased to sound like major Half-Life 2 news is coming and that isn't the case. Don't know what you mean when you say, "the same idea as you...
Seeing Superiority's post just above is more than a little amusing since we know how that last VALVe "interview" went down.. Heh.
I think Xtasy had it right. :p
Just for those that don't know (and I wasn't sure if Ghost was saying otherwise) but you don't need the All In Wonder 9800 for Thruview, it's on all recent ATI cards, like my 9700 Pro, great little feature. I so want an AIW 9800 Pro for the all the multimedia capabilities though.. My old AIW...
Looks like it. Here http://www.halflife2files.com/file.news?ID=7210 or at The Inquirer site directly if you don't trust me. Heh. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12330
But it's more an announcement regarding Half-Life. The only link to HL2 is that you get the HL premiere pack by registering your HL2 key. This isn't really a big HL2 announcement in and of itself. The way they phrase that opening line implies something larger, regardless of whether they meant it...
Asus, you mean The Register is often accurate? 'Cause that might be right, but the Inquirer has been wrong more times than I care to remember when it comes to Half-Life 2. They're just not credible - and they need to get new sources since their current ones are apparently feeding them...
Thank you, Crunkles. I was afraid I was going to have to go back and start copying & pasting.
Do a little in-depth research, Shaith and you'll see that VALVe gave and is giving their best effort to make HL2 work well with Nvidia. Problem is the Nvid hardware just doesn't compare to ATI's...
Heh, that's one of my favorites, Blu.
So wrong, so very wrong. However, their average is pretty good.
<laughs> Well.. I didn't say that. Just that speculation and guesses aren't accurate or worthwhile news. PHL gets more right than wrong, but there are better places for news without question.
How'd I know that was coming..
If that was the case, Blu, there'd be a lot more "plug" comments, believe me. I don't need to plug the site, it does quite nicely on its own, but I'm not going to lay down when i see some less than informed slam posted against it (albeit indirectly). Nice try...
