    Half-Life 3... completely different?

    Hands up everyone who is willing to play through HL3 as someone other than Freeman?

    Just bought the DVD for Half Life 2 from a shop, where do I put the key?

    The idea that it is "Putting one over Valve" assumes that you accept the principle that you don't have the right to sell a game. I personally do not think this is acceptable. And yes, I know, EULA etc. Doesn't make it morally defensible. As far as I am concerned, valve do not lose out here, the...

    Just bought the DVD for Half Life 2 from a shop, where do I put the key?

    Could you explain why? He's bought something from someone, and they have effectively not handed it over (Still on their account) Why shouldn't he try to rectify that? Sure its only 99p, but he was still ripped off, its the principle of the thing.

    Just bought the DVD for Half Life 2 from a shop, where do I put the key?

    As far as I am concerned people who sell games that they know won't work are tantamount to thieves. This guy indirectly took your money for something he knew would not work. Heres what I suggest. You go out and buy a new boxed copy of the game, and report to valve that you bought the game but...

    Looking for a new router

    If your not looking for particular features, then I would recommend grabbing a netgear router, they seem to last the longest in my experience. If you have specific requirements, either find a router that meets them, or get a dd-wrt compatible router. If you like simplicity (And cheapness)...

    Any small indie bands out there that sell their own cds? I have a question or two

    Thanks for the input guys. From the research I've been doing I think I could produce CDs for roughly £2.50 per disc, which would be a printed disc in a jewel case with photo quality inserts front and back. From what you have been saying, I think that means it would only really work for albums...

    Any small indie bands out there that sell their own cds? I have a question or two

    Thanks for the reply. To answer your specific question - I don't have any names (well other than knowing the name of the band I mention below) but in terms of the indie lables you mention, anyone signed to one of them would already be beyond needing the level of service I would be offering...

    Any small indie bands out there that sell their own cds? I have a question or two

    So I'm thinking there is a possible gap in the market for low run (Less than 100) disc printing for indie bands. I've been looking at the costs involved in a bedroom sized operation, however I do not know what bands normally sell their discs for. So, I'm wondering, any little indie bands that...

    Battlefield 3

    Remember in BF2 when your team was losing and you grabbed a chopper, and 6 of you parachuted in on their rear base, took the base and won the game? Remember all those desperate defibs under heavy fire while ventrilo was screaming in your ear Remember that <insert 1 of a million awesome moments>...

    L4D installation and Steam account help

    Yes. Games tie to your steam account rather than your computer. Once you upgrade, simply log into steam on your upgraded computer, install, and you will be able to use it on the upgraded machine.

    Week of single player

    I thought about checking out x3 before, now might be the ideal time actually. Plus what with moving house, I might find my old joystick :D The last time I reflected on my life I did go out, and ended up with my current girlfriend. Why do you think I'm having to buy a house? You trying to...

    Week of single player

    I'm moving house next week and unfortunately I will not have internet for that first week. As most of the games I play are multiplayer only I need to buy a new single player game or two. My budgets a bit stretched atm as you might imagine with buying a house, so I don't really want to spend more...

    Tories plan forced labour for the jobless

    I have to admit I'm suprised at some of the reactions to this. If we are paying them, they should be working for us. If they don't like the pay we offer, they can look for work elsewhere. By "we", I mean tax payers. I'm responce to the next responce I suspect this is going to get, bring back...

    The weird thing about valve games

    Try a windows reinstall. Its going to be some kind of software conflict and a reinstall should clear it up.

    Worthwhile upgrade?

    Vista currently, but an upgrade is an option I'm not sure I would benefit much from a GFX card upgrade, I suspect the other components are already holding the card back as it is. If I do upgrade the RAM, the plan is to scrap the 2 gigs of 667 I currently have and buy 4 gig kit of 1066 like you...

    Worthwhile upgrade?

    I'm trying to decide between upgrading my existing system now, or replacing it totally at a later date Current specs are: LGA755 MB with 2 gigs RAM (667mhz) and a Core 2 Duo E7200 with a Sapphire HD 4850 512MB My thinking is to either save up, and replace the whole system with a i7 based...
