That was literally the toughest part of the game playing it on hard, what I did was baracade myself in one of the small cells. I stayed in the far back, with the three bulletproof oil drums surrounding me as cover, and then the turrets wedged in near the entrance. The turrets were so densely...
It's a rip off the X-Files, which is a rip off the tv series "V", which is a rip off the "Attack of the Pod People", which is a rip off of every sci-fi book dating back to the 1920s. But who cares? It's a great story and well told.
That's pretty weird someone brought this up. I've had a cronic headache since I started playing HL2 on Tuesday. I beat it (on hard by the way, cause I'm so 1337!) on Friday, and I've felt fine all weekend.
The thing is, I've been a huge FPSer since Wolf3D, and played all the most fast paced...
Man, this guy is on top of things. Take a look at his amazingly insightful contribution to the Valve Info Only thread. Makes me wonder why I ever stopped posting here.
Physicists don't measure temperatures that low with thermometers. No thermometer or thermal diode would ever survive temperatures that low. Instead they measure how long it takes for a supercooled subject to rise to ambient temperatures in a controlled evironment.
Someone posted what the mythical creature was last summer/fall, I just can't remember exactly what it was for the life of me. It is something like elves or leprechauns though, I remember thinking "that sounds a little goofy". But it's Shyamlan, so you never know.
Hey yall, it's been a while. My anticipation about HL2 has long since ceased, but I've got a question about M Night Shyamalan's new movie. I remember sometime last summer, someone was talking about his new movie in this forum, and they mentioned that it was about some sort of mythical creature...
Don't bother with PC4000, it's very stuborn ram. It doesn't like running at ANYTHING but 1:1 3-4-4-8. PC3200 is very flexible, it'll run at 1:1, 3:2, and 5:4 no problem. The speed differences between PC4000 at 1:1 and PC3200 at 5:4 isn't that big either.
Oh, and the difference between 2-2-2-6...
Making smaller maps for BF:V was purely a design decision by the DICE team cause they wanted to put more emphasis on infantry combat. Since BF:V is built on an updated version of the BF1942, I see no reason why a modder couldn't create bigger maps.
I don't know about the multiple vehicle lag...
You should definitely consider Shuttle XPC Mini-PC's, especially if you're concerned about lugging it around to LANs. Here's a decent rig:
Shuttle SN45G ($229)
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ ($75)
Kingston ValueRAM PC2700 2x256MB ($80)
Samsung 40GB 7200RPM HD ($57)
Samsung 52X CD-ROM ($15)

At full speed the CNPS7000 is definitely quieter than the AMD stock HSF. But the CNPS7000 also comes with a Zalman Fan Mate, which is a little variable resistor you can attach to the HSF's power supply cord to control the voltage. At around 1800-2000RPMs, which is more than sufficient to cool a...
If you're looking for the best AMD cooling solution that you could actually sleep in the same room with (meaning it doesn't sound like a jet engine like most chip coolers), go for the Zalman CNPS7000.
