    I need the best anti spyware

    As said, get the microsoft one. Or Ad-Aware. Or Spybot S/D. Or all of them. Also, don't download porn from Kazza. Use Firefox for browsing those "free" porn sites. Make sure your windows is all patched up. Don't accept any of those certificates or something in Windows Media Player (not...

    Well done, I always love how these turn out. I would like to force myself to try one of these, so I second the idea of using this as a contest theme! :D

    I crave a good RTS game badly!

    It is old, but I really recomend Total Annihilation. It's a truely under-rated old school game that is packed with HOURS of fun online and offline. It must be really cheap by now and I can easilly get lost in it for an hour or two just on one skirmish map as you can build MASSIVE armies...

    Weird bug, or possibly someone 'hacked' me?

    You can use Link's solution, however there is another. Change your config to read only. Find it in \SteamApps\USERNAME\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg right click on it>properties and check read only, This might mean you cannot change settings yourself from ingame now, I am not sure.

    hl2.net is ruining my life!

    Post a thread about hitler in the discussions forum and kill two birds with one stone; learning about hitler and not being forced to part with hl2.net. :p Seriously, just read the threads faster and only go on ones that really interest you. Oh and 45 minutes a day is nothing :(

    Speed Up your Firefox browser

    yeh, there have been threads about the top three in borth HW/SW and off topic forums before, however they are still good tips. The bottom one isnt recomended as the delay is there for a reason as its best for more content to be downloaded before the browser starts rendering it.

    MTV2 Video Mods

    Hard topic to place in the forum as it covers 3 topics, but anyway, if a mod decided to move he can. Never seen these in the UK but MTV have redone some music video's by animating characters from in games. I don't know how they did this with no SDK; they probably have deals with publishers...

    I need a new game..

    As mentioned Chronicles of Riddick is a good game to waste some time on, and it seems to be really cheap too so its worth the risk. FarCry is also probably down in price now so its wirth checking that out. I would have to say though, you seem to be desperate to play games and these will...

    One Steam account for HL 2 and HL Platinum?

    Installing HL1 from the disk will be a non-steam install, as steam wasnt around when this was released. If you want to use HL1 with steam for, say multiplayer, as you need steam to play hl1dm, then you can use your current steam account. I think the process for registering the CD key is My...

    Half Life: Platinum question

    I don't see how you are going to sell CounterStrike to a friend. For one, its a free mod (1.6) and required hl1 installed and two it will have the same CD key as HL1, so you won't be able to play anything online(HL1DM, TFC ect) if he registers the CD key first with steam. The GOTY edition of...

    Half life 2 and reformatting

    It shouldn't ask for the CD key out of steam I dont think, even for retail. Try downloading steam seperately from www.steampowered.com

    dual screen = slow-down?

    From when I had a second screen, having it show the windows desktop/msn/whatever when I was playing CS1.6 showed no slowdown at all. If you want to know a difference in FPS just type cl_showfps 1 in the console and play the same part of hl2 with the second screen enabled and with it disabled
