I have to say I was very impressed with how polished this game was... squeaky clean feel to it. It was a ton of fun to play last night, and very smooth, (minimal lag and decent frame rates) on my laptop over wireless.
100% worth the 9 year wait.
I realize in many ways they are different, but my interest in this mod has dropped significantly ever since they announced TF2. I'll probably download it anyways and give it a shot since I think I'm buying the orange box for the xbox 360 this time around.
You might be able to do it by switching in window's display properties which display device is "primary" not sure if that will work though, because i know some applications just use the first display it can enumerate.
Why does everyone have this assumption that these changes will be "forced" on the user. And the film grain and color correction are made specifically with machinima in mind, if you don't want to play with it (which most people won't want to) then turn it off.... stop whining, it looks fantastic...
In the source code for the combine AI, there is a comment about how they will charge at the player frequently because it made for more fun gravity gun battles because they are up close and in front of you.
It depends on what you use you computer for. I do a lot of multithreaded scientific computing, so Dual Cores are a neccessity. For the average user, it will just prevent the system from getting bogged down as easily (like the olden days where more ram gave your computer a kick in the pants)
I refuse to watch G4 since they took over TechTV... the network has become so juvenile and trite. They actually had a show rating the top women of gaming... no, not female gamers. They were rating the characters. Didn't stick around long enough to see who won.
But if Leo's involved, it might...
yeah, that price isn't really all that great, but its not that bad either.
skarrob, the XFX cards are cheaper, but I've heard lots of stories about them crapping out. all different models. I just bought the BFG 7800GTX OC from monarchcomputer.com along with a bunch of other components. I think...
I'm not sure if they planned to let the lower spec machines even download it... if for no other reason than naive people tryiong to run it and saying "man... source runs slow as shit" when in reality it was designed for specs 4 generations after what they are running.
But regardless, i do...
give the kid a break, he mentioned he had just started saving.... unfortunately he's got a long way to go. Really sucks that you are only making $300 in 2 weeks. Its going to be a long road ahead.

I hate that excuse... I spent 3 years following that "wait just a little longer because the hardware is gonna get cheap after the new generation comes out" philosophy. The fact is, the new generation comes out, and you don't want the old one anymore.

Why not just turn it into a pay site for the features you mentioned, or put a paypal donation?
Personally, I have no interest in any of the "features" like dedicated servers and clan tournements. None of that applies to me, I read the forum to keep up on hl2 news, and thats it. I don't want...
A certain extension for firefox which the admins here don't like you posting about (rhymes with adflock) does a great job at removing both inline ads and ad banners, but if i had to see one or the other, i'd prefer a google ads banner on the side or bottom. Inline ads are quite obtrusive and...
