UT Championship had no singleplayer mode.
HL2 is a completely different game. If you dont have a good PC, and you have an Xbox, the Xbox version of HL2 is good value.
Spit met Gman inside Valve.
Let this be a lesson to you all!
NEVER SAY NO TO A GMANS OFFER!
I would have thought Spit would have known better by now.. It's unfortunate that he would not accept Gmans offer and must now suffer the consequences. I hope it was quick and painless. ;(
If I was you, I would dress up nice, and bring a camera. Take pictures of the whole trip from your house, to Valves office so we can see what it looks like traveling to their office. Take pictures of things like the Valve sign in the hall too. When you get to the receptionist, quick save (heh...
"PCI Express+hyperthreading=gaming heaven"
Half-Life 2 does not even utilize hyper threading. They said the extra development time required to implement that is not worth the very small gain you get in performance. Well they said something like that.
According to this survey done by valve a while back, about 70.6% of the HL community uses a res of 800x600 and below. Yet the hardware sites only benched 1024 and up. Some even wanted to do 1600x.... I mean.. come on now.. I wanted to see how well my PC would perform, and they only test for 30%...
Im annoyed that NONE of the benchmarks for HL2 were done in 640x480 which is my favorite choice of res. (Sometimes 800x600 when the game doesnt allow anything lower.)
I bet the nvidia cards would be perfectly fine at that res with AA and AF enabled.
Someone please send me a screen shot of Half-Life 1 in both 640x480 res and the highest you can go (Both with AA and AF enabled). Then point out where the image quality gets better in red circles or something. Because I never could see what the big fuss was about. Only thing that ever changed on...
Im going to play in 640x480 like I do in most of my games. I never noticed a difference with higher res except smaller gui interfaces and jagged edges on things, that my AA fixes for me anyways. Plus I get CRAZY FPS at no cost of image quality, atleast none that I could ever see. Im sure I will...
"Uhhhh....... i dont know but what ever the computer says is true"
I love computer illiterate people who say 'The pc is always right'. As a programmer I enjoy writing calculators for these people that randomly misplaces a single digit from time to time.
Wholy mother of green powdered toast with yam!
Thats alot of avatars!
Well heres the update:
Im up to the fire and gman area. I can finish these last areas easy today. Im going to add all the rest of these avatars into the wad file right afterwards. Then all that will be left is to try...
Ok everyone so far is added to the .wad
Im going to get back to finishing the map now, then I will come back to add more peoples requests. Then I will started hiding them inside the map.
