    Anyone else Glad HL2 is delayed ?

    Who wants the game to be delayed? Anyone? *sound of cricket chirping in distance* My PC will run even City17 Strider Bench at 60 fps, so I'm pretty pissed, that Vivendi stopped Valve. I wanted to play the game TODAY.

    Ethics and Artificial Intelligence

    we are not even able to correctly simulate the neural network of a fruit fly And a fruit fly is VERY small (this one sitting on a small coin): http://www.mblab.gla.ac.uk/tubules/Fruit%20Fly.jpg so no reason to think about such stuff in the next uuuuh... 10 years

    Where's Gordon Freeman from?

    "Thus, the All-Russian Scientific and Research Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF) was initially known as Arzamas-60, a postal code designation to show that it was 60 km from the city of Arzamas. But the "60" was considered too sensitive, and the number was changed to "16." In 1947 the...

    Doug Lombardi interview from Japan

    But Vivendi is [B] You can create the whole game yourself, but you need someone who is publishing it for you. And that's Vivendi and they have the power to change the boxed-version release date if they want because they create and publish those boxes. The only thing Valve can control is...

    Half Life 2 Day One would be nice

    Doug Lombardi interview from Japan

    @Someone: For Valve it would be better to get the game ASAP via Steam out of the door. Steam gets them most direct-money and Steam needs TIME to spread because users have to download the stuff. For Vivendi it's the other way round. They want to have a boxed product THEY sell and THEY get most...

    Doug Lombardi interview from Japan

    commando: Localisation. That means they do some normal driver/bugfixing (maybe preventing one update patch that would have been out 1 week after release) and localisation. They want a worldwide release. That means even the japanese localisation has to bee finished and checked. In the meantime...

    Doug Lombardi interview from Japan

    us version is finished but we have to wait? Damn, I'm from Germany, I want the US Version NOW. I don't care for a crappy dubbed censored version. This is all Vivendis fault, they want the store-release not later than the steam release. That's the whole reason. My theorie in that directions seems...
