You can turn it off, so if it annoys you just disable it.

Yikes. Apparently, the next version of the SDK will have proper support for VC++ 2005 Express, which is currently free in the beta and will be about $50 or so, I heard. The features not included are ones you would probably never use for a mod anyways. But 2003 is a good product too.

And the train station and apartments are really really close together. Kliener's lab is literally round the back of the station, pretty much.

Classical and quantum theory are very not incompatible. The only classical theory which conflicts with quantum mechanics is general relativity. However, the effects of curved spacetime are negligible on the quantum scale, and so can safely be ignored. Just look at the relative strength of the...

There's no need for brainwashing, or memory replacement. Look at the number of oppressive regimes that exist or have existed during history, especially during the last century. Human nature itself is quite bad enough to support the Combine occupation of Earth without any need for memory...

They are capable of transporting far larger things too. The citadels themselves were teleported in.

I'd imagine Valve supporting the beta version would depend on how fast Microsoft can actually get the whole lot finished. It's not like the features in VC++ 2005 are beta quality, it's just that there's a whole bunch of other stuff which would come out of beta at the same time, like the .net...

Gabe really doesn't like the PS3 does he? Looks like we're unlikely to see any Valve games on one soon... Also, sounds like they're serious about actually getting Friends to work. Can't wait.

Who's probably played it already.

Although, in the 7 Hour War, the Combine did have more than just striders, there were some of the other synths too, as well as gunships and such. For one, the gunships have a cannon like the strider's main cannon on their underbelly, you just rarely/never get it fired at you in the game. They...

That paragraph is in "The Spy" section, which you should really take with a pinch of salt. Back in the day, "The Spy" said in HL2 you'd going round the world solving mysteries, or something, with a female sidekick. Well, there was a female sidekick, so they were kinda right...

This is very surreal. You click the install link, load the game, HD pack. Quit the game, click the uninstall link, start the game. No HD pack. Then click the install link, start the game, and the HD stuff is back. Magic!

Erm, you could always grab the HL2 demo, see if it works well. Lol, I've gotten Quake 1 working on a pocket pc. That was cool. 233 mhz StrongARM cpu.

Well, that's more or less the problem, no-one really knows what dark matter is, could be neutrinos, or WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles). No-one really knows. All we know is that it's there (we can see the effects it has on other matter due to gravity) but we can't see it...

Although the Combine use a dark matter reactor, or whatever, it could be a similar thing to say, the Space Shuttle's engines, which use liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel. However, that hydrogen had to be made somehow, either by electrolysis of water, or a process on oil. Either way...

The glitched bits are all static props, that is, models, not brush geometry, if that helps.

PotBS isn't a Source game.

No they won't, all the games are being distributed to retail by EA from September onwards.

Valve apparently awesomed the netcode, better pings all round.

I loved that console, it was awesome.
