The version numbers sort of refer to the version of the flash file on the website. When it originally went up I think it was 1.06. I think the teir3 login may have been added to the website after the release of portal. The flash file was decompiled and examined for secrets several months before...

I think the lack of men is an in-joke by valve. Remember during the original Half-life you never met any female employees in black mesa (Except for the hologram on the training course). Why not reverse that situation? If black mesa were employing all the men perhaps all the women ended up...

The was also an expansion pack to the original GTA - London 1969. I don't see this mentioned on either the steam or rockstar websites so I don't know if this has been included in the GTA download. It should be in order to be called a complete collection. I have both GTA and the expansion...

Steam has just updated my copy of Stalker and its now deciding to save my games in a different folder. If you suddenly find your games have vanished you may need to move them. I have just moved my files from: F:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\stalker shadow of...

Lazlo dying is a scripted sequence activated by a trigger, the trick is therefore to get through without activating the trigger. noclip + notarget should stop it activating.

Some quick estimates: Person: 60 kg Weight a person can reasonably lift, and therefore possible weight of companion cube: 35 kg (approximately the weight of an old 19" CRT monitor) Pressure required to activate a button: 30 kg Turret: 10 to 20 kg Mounted camera: 5 kg The turrets don't have to...

I wouldn't have associated jump suits with prisoners, if it hadn't already been suggested I would have though the jump suit would be mechanics overalls. Its not unusual to wear protective clothing in a scientific or engineering environment. A set of overalls would be more suitable than white lab...

How about rather than just bashing things with it you could actually use it like a real crowbar, in other words levering things open. e.g. stuck doors

They will tie up nearly all of the existing loose ends, but in the process introduce some new ones.

Its deliberately vague enough so that if valve wanted to bring him back they could do.

The crushing ceilings don't quite fit with the overall final design. Throughout the test centre you can go as slow as you like and take your time solving the puzzles. Where the are time critical tasks like flinging and platform riding you can always plan out your route beforehand without being...

Nice effort, but you really need to work on the sound quality, its dreadful. The microphone level is way too high making it exceedingly distorted. With all the distortion its hard to determine how well you are singing it.

The ichosaur (probably not the correct spelling, the big monster fish) was a major part of HL1. This creature is obvious alien and came through with the orignial invasion from Xen. Therefore the must be a location on Xen with a large body of water that these originated yet. If you use this...

I have been using a 64 bit version of Windows XP for over a year. I have had a few problems with getting hold of device drivers, but for the most part this hasn't been too bad. Most major manufacturers supply 64 bit drivers, its only old hardware or obscure cheap web cams that I have had trouble...

Well, Dr, Kleiners pet headcrab is named after a real person, Hedy Lamarr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr). Its possible that Issac Kleiner could be a reference to Alfred Kleiner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Kleiner). I couldn't find anybody obvious who the other...

I don't think the strike will have a big effect. The US networks can either find non-WGA members, or simply outsource the script writing to other countries. I am sure the will be eager replacements from the UK, Canada, Australia, and other English speaking countries not affiliated to the WGA who...

I figured out how to get into the vent by using the rockets. However I then spent several minutes trying to figure out how to break the fan so that I could drop through to the room below. It also took me several attempts to get out of the flame pit. I panicked and failed to notice the safe...

"smoke from a forest fire" Its a quote from the developers commentary. The full quote is below: "[Randy Lundeen] The post-Half-Life 2 look of City 17 was difficult to nail down and went through many changes. We wanted to establish several things; Primarily that this was a different part of the...

The full method of doing this, and what does and doesn't work can be found here: http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=133335&highlight=half+maps+portal I tried running through HL2 from the start with the portal gun, however the game crashes when I reach the see-saw puzzle.

Sounds like you accidentally spawned a vortigaunt armed with an AR rifle. No animations exist of the vorts holding weapons, therefore the is no way for the game to render the scene properly. Instead it just puts the two objects in the same physical space, which results in the scene you describe.
