In the US you only pay sales tax when buying from the same state within the US. In most other countries sales tax is added regardless if you buy from within the country or mail order from abroad. If you purchase an item while abroad, within the EU, you pay sales tax in that country and do not...

Yeah, hail Doom 4... erh 3 or something! That's original!

Hmm, Norway is not part of EU... a Valve loophole? ;-)

There is no option for < 1 time per day, duh!

I prefer the DVD case, it's so much easier to rip out the disc and play than having to open a cardboard box and then some CD case...

Ploand uses latin characters.

FYI, cyrillic is also used in Serbia, ex-Yugoslavia. It has been stated as an "East European style" city. Soviet Union did occupy it's near neighbours sort of, so cyrrillic could be found in many east european countries also.

Haven't got a clue... go click on them perhaps?

Yeah. Quake 2 was THE game back then. And Half-Life = based on Quake 2 tech. No, HL was based on Q1 tech.

No. Vivendi are afraid that Steam will steal a buckload of money from Vivendi and therefore Vivendi is using HL1 licensing as a tool to forbid Valve from using Steam. It is 100 % about the future cash cow HL-2, do not think otherwise.

How can the RC get rejected? Design, Too steep hardware requirements, Politically incorrect content (race, religion, ties to current events etc)...

Machine specs will be interesting. I host Far Cry on an A64 3000+ with 512 MB. On 24 players, it runs fine, on 28 it starts to get jerky sometimes and with 32 players it's definitly laggy. With Battlefield Vietnam, I can run 32 players without reaching 100 % CPU, so that is a much better...

The left picture shows very bad texture work on the ground, even the rock shadow is casting a half cut shadow. Yuick! :sniper:

Oh dear! This Bink is not the complete E3 demo, it's just bits and pieces. The .MOV I posted is a much longer video.

The ATI and Valve booths at E3 showed two different versions of the same scenes. The striders behaved differently on the two movies that were available. I only kept the best movie on my ftp.

Oh my goodness, you're all HL2-fans and you didn't already see this video? Valve showed it at E3 this spring. Here's the E3 presentation, with commentary, so not Bink quality, but still looks great: ftp://kometv.no-ip.com:4711/pub/HalfLife2/hl2_fulldemo_e32004.mov (you gotta use passive...

Well, it's my own home server, nothing fancy. But I do have BBB 100 Mbit, so you should get full speed.
