Off topic: OMG that ban was funny! Way to go Starmonkey! (Star wars using cgi in the 70's! Rofl!)
I hope what you are all saying turns out to be true; that if a patent isn't enforced it will eventually become public domain. If not, well to the gaming companies I say: Move to Canada! ;)
This is NOT a flame: This is the incentive for buying silver, gold or collector's editions. I haven't heard anything about a retail release for either dod:s or hl:s, but hopefully they will at some point. The reason I shelled out extra bucks for silver was to get the extra software. I am...

Fil, you are depriving yourself by not playing it. Even today's games with better graphics have a hard time competing with HL's ai and storyline. Do yourself a favour and either dl it on steam (if you have thepackage) or pick up a copy at your local software retailer. You can probably get it...
Hmm... I will have to try running in dx 8.1 mode when I get home tonight. From the screen shots it kinda looks nicer to me than the dx9 ones. But, that could very well be because I haven't seen 8.1 in action yet.
Sunspotprod, you HAVE to share Gabe's response to your email! I can't wait to hear what he or anyone at valve has to say about the excellent job you did. Super work nerdlinger! I salute you!
