I just read something that by the time a pillow is about 6yrs old, 10% of its weight is live mites, dead mites, and mite feces (they live in our skin and hair :O ). The same would probably be true for a mattress, so while not snail snot, you're pretty close!

It actually makes sense to me that CS2 could be finished sooner than HL2. Creating all the content and playtesting for the single-player game likely takes longer than creating new maps around a Source-based version of Counter-Strike. Essentially all the pieces are already there, but I'm sure...

Yeah, most people don't understand the difference between CS for HL2 (or CS for Source), which is most likely included with HL2 as its in the Beta, and CS2, which will be a whole new game built in Source from the ground-up. Except for a few things like shimmery water and ragdoll effects, there's...

So that's the reason the game hasn't shipped yet. Hurry up Gabe's Dad! ;)

Thanks, Kamakiri. I totally agree. While of course the leak is really big news, and has deeply saddened me... not because it will lessen my experience of the game, but because I feel badly for the people and Valve and the company. But the discussion of the leak has unfortunately demonstrated...

Maybe in the wrong forum, but I'm picking up Call of Duty when it's released. At first I wasn't that impressed with the demo, but after playing through it a couple times, it really is an immersive experience. Better than DoD or MoHAA, no question. Probably would have been hailed as a...

What?!? There's no climate today? I heard that the ozone layer was getting thin, but ouch.

Found spec sheets on the new ASUS Radeon cards: http://www.clubic.com/n/n10081.html. They look a treat, but no more info on HL2, except "Hot 3D Games Bundled."

Maybe the real question is whether Valve even needs a publisher after HL2, or whether it will break the old developer-publisher paradigm. They'll use Steam increasingly for direct distribution anyway, makes sense to cut out the middleman for retail as well.

I don't really trust the retailers to have it on the 30th, but trust Valve to have it on Steam then. I'll do as many have suggested and get a subscription for one month, then wait for my retail copy to arrive before cancelling it

Gabe said somewhere that you'd be able to copy the cache file to another computer. Since the authentication is from your Steam login, there shouldn't be any problem moving it from your work computer to your home computer. You'll probably need to burn the cache file on a CD (or CDs), or use a...

Prepare to get mobbed Dagobert. And thanks! Can't seem to get CVG downloads to work no matter what I try. BTW, isn't Dagobert a club in Quebec City? I have the t-shirt, I think.

In a way, it is like an easter egg hunt, finding the toilets in places where they ought not to be, so it could be the famous easter egg. Though, I'm still not sure that Gabe didn't mention the easter egg thing just to mess with our heads and keep busy until ship. The toilets, as has been...

From NVIDIA's site, ironically enough, a DX9 demo featuring motion blur: http://www.nvidia.com/object/demo_ogre.html Haven't checked it out yet, tho.

Make an HTML table out of the same info, and I wouldn't think the mods would get too upset. And it would be easier to read. Otherwise, the mods have been pretty strict about magazine scans.

There could be some logic here... Gabe says it's an ATI event that Valve just happened to get an invitation to. But the reality is that it's THE HL2 launch event. I mean, Sept 30! hello?!?

Yup. Browser-specific coding should be a war crime. Or at least make the webster get a nasty rash. And, all signs point to... GOLD!!! (but then, I'm easily excited)

S'pose. But they should do something fun and festive on the day of release as well.

The Alcatraz event is scheduled for Sept 30, right?? (at least according to PlanetHalfLife.com), so that means that Half-Life 2 will launch there, as well as the new card and the bundle. I'd figure the game will be released right away, but the card and bundle would take a few weeks longer.
