Yes. France, for example, is heavily Catholic, and starts the week on Monday. Despite the stereotype of Americans doing everything because it's "God's will", Manifest Destiny, and all that other stuff, the U.S. doesn't have a national religion like other countries do, and, in my opinion, most...

I did a project and wrote a paper last semester for my "Data Visualization" class, based on Jason Mitchell's paper Illustrative Rendering in Team Fortress 2. My write up can be found here, and the other files related to my project (demos, the map, etc) can be found here. I know I'm not the...

Ahh, thanks. Well, I think Valve has forgotten what a South Boston accent sounds like... ;)

I mainly use Windows for Steam, but on occasion I'll try it out on my Gentoo Linux machine under Wine. It works pretty well for HL1 games, but I haven't tried HL2 games on it yet, cause the hardware's kinda meager (FX5200, 512MB ram, etc).

Link to this info please? As someone who lives close to Boston, I can tell you that the accent is from Brooklyn. South Boston is where the characters from Good Will Hunting are from. Watch that movie, then watch some Law and Order. You might be able to hear the difference then. Or maybe it's...

Dude, he's from Slovenia. Take it easy. Not like he's some 12-year old from Detroit who just never learned to type.

The HL2 achievements haven't been released for the PC yet; there's an update coming eventually.

Making the video with Valve's built-in demo recording tools instead of running Fraps at two frames per second would've made it significantly better.

Yeah, but his first impression (mine too) was that if you punted the cars OFF the bridge, it would never go into place correctly. On the other hand, if you punt the cars to the high side of the bridge, it will go down, forming the ramp.

Part of that is so that you can get some achievements just for finishing the game. After all, from the Ep2 stats, we know that only 44% of Ep2 players actually bothered to finish... :upstare:

Talk about thread necromancy...

But it's possible that the Nihilanth didn't foresee Freeman (or anyone else, for that matter) being able to actually stop him.

If you want a good financial investment, buy magazines if Hillary wins the primary. Standard-capacity or greater though, none of that 10-round bullshit.

Yeah, mine kept crapping out on me. :( That's pretty awesome though.

But it makes playing a defensive Spy that much harder... I enjoyed running along that walkway cloaked, uncloaking behind the team, and backstabbing everyone in succession. No more... ;(

Instant respawn isn't bad on maps like 2fort, but it's nearly impossible to win on maps like gravelpit, cause the defenders get back to the CP in ~2 seconds.

Well, that does happen occasionally (Red Sox making it to the World Series in 2004, for instance, but then again, that was an 86-year streak broken ;)), but nowhere near as much as soccer/football.

No, they're just releasing new ones.

$10 Microsoft wired optical mouse, running at default sensitivity for WinXP, running at default sensitivity for Source games (which is 3). My roommate turns it up to about 15 when he plays on my machine, and then I take two steps, move the mouse half an inch, and do a 360. It's pretty...

Yeah, I laughed the first time I saw that.
