    Planing on upgradeing or building new? WAIT!

    The nforce3 mobo relies a lot more on CPU then the nforce4 version. However, unless you've decided you want PCIe (and only real reason for that right now is SLI) then you probably don't really need to wait.

    Digital Camcorder Editing Software? Please help

    Edition kicks butt. :P The PR dept. here also likes Vegas Video. However, which program is "best" is largely subjective. Try the demos of several. Find the one that works best for your work style.

    will enemies have facial animations as well?

    As he said, only some characters will have full range of emotion.

    How does this system look?

    Besides paying too much for your system, how much did you pay for your MOUSE? :P

    How does this system look?

    Buy a CRT at a local shop if possible. Shipping & handling will be killer on a monitor.

    Halo copied Half Life ??

    Halo had great potential. Then they console-ed it and rushed it out the door. Ended up having the most repetitive levels I have ever seen in a game.

    Are the STEAM D/L Speeds for real?

    Case is important in scientific abreviations (including computer stuff). kBs = kiloBYTES per second kbs = kiloBITS per second

    ATI DX9 card, worried about compatibility.

    A GeForce *6*800 doesn't fit the "5XXX FX" pattern I listed in my post. (They default to DX9.)

    SERIOUS POINT-WILL STEAM COPE ON THE 16th

    It'll be fine unless some kiddies DOS it at the same time we're all trying to auth.

    ATI DX9 card, worried about compatibility.

    No, it's not a bug. Nvidia 5XXX FX cards suck at direct X 9. You can force it, but don't whine about low FPS if you do.

    :( If all of you people are Good Hearted please HELP AND READ ! :(

    It'll run it at direct x 8.1 level unless you specifically force it to direct x 9. (However, that'd slow waaaay down.) A 5600 will give you decent performance, but nothing to brag about by any means. You may be able to turn features to high by lowering resolution.

    Freeman's mod (was: Source Engine no limits???)

    Comparing to an engine that won't be out for 2 years (U3) is silly.

    The "Is this a photoShop" Question:

    Not sure if it's a photoshop or not (could easily be, look at worth1000.com sometime) but the edge of the thumb appears to have some trace aliasing from a light background left. Either way, I'm sure we'd have heard more if he were actually playing now.

    HL2 MIGHT be being sold in Colorado....

    Oh great. Now they shut down the steampowered forums.

    The "Is this a photoShop" Question:

    It's more likely that someone printed out a gamebox (from the numerous pictures we've seen of the final box art) and took a picture of himself holding his homemade "game".

    PC Gamer (US) Review, look at page 64

    CS:S still uses the buggy CS code for the hostage AI. It's a PORT of an old game.

    is the source code an important part of the game, or just a selling point?

    You've got source code confused with "Source", the engine powering the game. Source code is the generic term for the text that is compiled to make any program. It's contained in many different files which are a complete anethema to anyone who is not a programmer. "Source" is what Valve...
