118a. Valve realizes that using Steam over Nokia's N-Gage's cellular network was a perfect scenario for them, as cell network speeds max out at 2-5k/second anyway.
116. Valve decided a few months ago to have a better connection with the half life 2 community. To enact this policy, they're reading every single post that's on this board and replying to them where possible. They're about 3 months behind at this point.
That molotov cocktail in clip 3 was pretty outrageous. I was also impressed that they're finally using ragdoll physics correctly. Instead of just having the guy fall down dead immediately, you can shoot him repeatedly and your shots will keep effecting him on the way down. Reminds me of those...
In case you guys missed it elsewhere, there's 3 new tv spots for the Matrix Revolutions, and also 5 new high res videos from Max Payne 2.

111. Not to be outdone by David Blaine, Valve puts their only gold master of Half Life 2 in a clear plastic box and hangs it 30 feet in the air in the middle of downtown London. They're gonna beat his 40 days without food no matter how long it takes.
Personally I think this was all about steam. Do you guys really think that so many people would have rushed to download the 4-700 meg Steam installer if they knew half life 2 wasn't coming out anywhere near soon? Would all of the file distribution sites like fileplanet, fileshack, etc etc be...
gaming bliss for me and a friend was the first time we fired up the half life 1 demo and wondered what would happen (while we had the mp5 from the training lab) if we shot the scientist who was describing how all your stuff works. so my friend hit the mouse button and the scientists head/body...
I was sent a cease and desist letter because of this type of thing.. the video footage is publicly available elsewhere, but because they slap their logo on it, it's considered copyrighted and they'll go after you over it.. sucks, but true. It all depends on how much that particular site in...
Dude, copyright law doesn't forgive the ignorant. What you're doing is breaking the law, even if you're in self denial. You're serving copyrighted material, without permission, on a publicly available website. You're depriving that print magazine of revenue by doing that instead of...
unfortunately i'm going to remove that torrent from filerush as CVG put their logo on it which might become a copyright issue even though the video is not of their stuff... sorry guys. maybe someone will post it on supernova.org. *cough*
far cry has all the advanced graphics features of half life 2, and more.. full reflective surfaces with real time lighting etc.. DX 9 up the wazoo. It also has draw distances that no other game including half life 2 have shown so far.
It's also worth mentioning that i think this is the first demo to have FSAA fully engaged. Those edges were perfectly straight. Almost no jaggies at all.
