    WillH visits Valve!

    Actually, I think you could email Gabe all you want and it won't affect the speed the game is made. He has other people that make the game, he is more of a PR person than anything, of course I could be wrong

    Where most of Apple's sales come from...

    Apple's are quality products. You pay quite a bit more for that quality but most every apple product just plain works, I'd never pay for it because half the fun of computers is fixing problems but its good stuff.... I WANT AN IPOD! /me is so poor

    Could HL2 be released much earlier than we think?

    My guess, not that it means much, is that HL2 will be out around March. Yep it is really a good time to be a gamer. I'm out.

    Halo 2 versus Half Life 2?

    If you want my opinion, HL2 will be great, Halo 2 will be good. Halo was a good game because it had co-op everything else was mediocre. Now HL was a great game because single player was fun and the multiplayer was arguably the best in any game to date.

    Alcatraz connected to HL2's plot?

    He killed SOMEONE? He killed a ton of american soldiers! The US would be pissed as hell at him for that. Although the Gman would get him off the hook for that. Reaally OT but anyone notice that Gordon wears glasses and no helmet? What happens it a headcrab jumps on his face and crushes his...
