    A random comedy pirate mod (was: HL2 Monkey Island)

    Hey, What are the chances of some bright spark creating a realistic Monkey Island mod. It's just the water effects are so good, I keep staring at them like some retard. Then I felt like putting my gun down and just having a nice stroll. If someone could make a nice Melee Island I get down...

    Best/Worst chapter?

    City 17 was brimming with atmosphere. When I got chased to the roof I had to take a few bullets just so I could admire the view. Like someone else has already said, Valve managed to get that 1984 look down just right. I haven't finished it just yet (I'm eating my cake slowly to enjoy every...

    Sorry but my vote is still on HL1

    They're both great games, but HL2 just has more involvement, much more atmosphere (reminding me, in parts, of Akira), and it looks so good I sometimes hate going so fast through a particular location becasue I want to sight-see with my camera. Sad, I know, but I know everyone else does it too...

    I think I got It working

    I had the same issue as you, and I took all the steps you did (except move the RAM about). I then picked up a 5200 256 NVidia card, and it runs with no problems at all. The graphics look great, no stuttering, nothing. 2.93 ghz 50Gig Hard drive GForce 5200 256mb **** knows what else, I'm...

    nothing wrong with my 5200. Infact, it was only when I put that card in that all the bugs stopped crashing HL2. Looks great, and runs great. Eat zombie poo.

    easter eggs

    On the opening Train level, after the guy gets pushed over the bags...pick up a suitcase and walk over towards that alien sweeping the floor on your right-hand-side. Drop the suitcase and press 'E'. The alien will walk over and say 'Gregg says goodluck.' Then the cop will hit him until he runs...

    *CRASH* The memory could not be 'read' error, for HL2 and CS:S

    Well I had the same problem and I wanted to cry everytime it crashed. However, today I upgraded my graphics card to a GeForce 5200 from my crappy intergrated graphics, and it hasn't crashed once since. My god, it's a stunning game. Anyway, I wish the rest of you the best of luck in sorting...

    Steam Update Released

    I've validated both HL2 & CS:S and STILL getting the same memory error crash. I can only play from one load area to the next. It's really annoying me now. I let Valve know, I guess all I can do is sit and wait. At least CS:S works like a dream - and I still had the chance to crowbar...
