If someone wants to host it then MSN me on houseofhaggis at btinternet dot com. I'm only gonna send it to someone who can host it for others though. I don't have infinite bandwidth!
Ohhh myyyy goddd!
Never mind the HL2 video. You should see the Unreal Engine 3 video! I dunno what kind of machine this baby is running on, but it looks sweeeeet. I just hope they can make a decent game out of it this time!
/me shudders at the memory of Unreal 2
btw: i'm happy to give...
Human: quarter past 3 here
ALICE: I've been waiting for you.
Human: wow nice lingerie
ALICE: I'm glad you're impressed. Thank you for your kindness.
Human: did you wear it just for me?
ALICE: No I didn't wear it just for you. What's it like?
Human: oh, if only you knew!
ALICE: Gee. I...
That's a good point actually. Will people be able to "pre-order" it from Steam before it releases? Thus being able to preload it and not get stuck on release day downloading from choked overloaded servers?
I can't remember reading about that, anyone know?
Yup, i agree!
I don't play multiplayer at all, and HL is still the game that sucked me in the most. Whether HL2 can do that remains to be seen, but i'm fairly optimistic...
And all this D3 vs HL2 graphics stuff. I don't know why people assume D3 looks universally so much better than HL2...
I think it's mostly people perceptions that change as they get older. It wasn't that times were better back then, it's that you were more carefree back then. As you get older you get wiser. You learn more things, you see more things. You being to realise the world is in fact a great big shit...
Aye, i know :)
But still, even if it said "ETA Summer 2004" that would be cool. It would save some of those "i've been away for a while, any idea when it's out yet?" threads. Plus, it was just a cool thing to have!
:)
Riiiight! Thanks for posting that actually. I was using brightness so I'll give this gamma thing a go. I assumed it was the same thing. Nice of it to be hidden away in cryptic places. Good stuff.
So, i should press on through the alpha labs then? And it'll get better?
Promise?!
Wow, cool!
Interesting snippets of knowledge to add to my list!
My dear old mum uses the internet. It would be nice to think she could make a post on a message board without getting the p*ss taken out of her. It may well be a joke, and it may well be funny. But it's not called for. There...
Nope, i believe that was Dwane Dibley ;)
Anyway, you're right. Computer games are no substitute for real life stuff. Especially the divine game of Squash. But they're damn good all the same.
Without making comparisons, my D3 opinion so far ...
Been playing a few hours. I'm now at Alpha Labs Sector 4 (how many sectors does this damn lab have?!) I agree with the eyestrain comment, I get a headache if I play it for too long! And yes, it's dark (read: BLACK, unless you point your...
Ahh, well that's where the art of trickery comes in! Just look at HL2 and D3 etc. The amount of CPU power required to calculate realtime lighting is enormous. I believe it takes years just to render a pixar film! CPUs aren't powerful enough to fully render 3D scenes in realtime, nor to correctly...
