    Half Life 2... I'm stuck.

    This probably makes me seem like an idiot, but I am stuck at the point where Freeman is required to board the airboat. The woman raises the doors but I can't get Freeman into the boat. Every time I try (jumping, running, crouch/jump even) he slides off and into the muck. It's driving me crazy! I...

    Yes true, but not everyone wants to go through the process of creating accounts like Steam and downloading demos... and if someone tires of a game why shouldn't that person be able to pass the game on? Surely that's spreading the good word for the manufacturer.

    OK, good advice, and I thank you for your time. I may have tracked the ugger down this morning, so we'll see what happens. I have no argument about using Steam to play... I understand their piracy concerns. However maybe they need to modify their rules a bit to allow people to experience and...

    It's prohibitively expensive for an old aged pensior! Yes, even old codgers enjoy killing things... I did open a steam account yesterday, but you think it would be best to start again by uninstalling the game and the Steam software, and use the last user's account? I'm not keen on piracy...

    Um, I've done all those things. Unfortunately, the game won't load. i note you place the instuction to install the game AFTER logging on to Steam... is that possible? Or is the sequence of your instructions unimportant? Do you think I should uninstall the game (again) and Steam (again) and...

    What a pain in the arse. If this costs me, I'll just dump the game. There are others, after all.

    Are you saying that the game cannot be played at all without joining Steam? It doesn't say that on the packaging or on the website... John

    Ok, I was just given Half Life 2 by a departing friend and I have a problem already. I have loaded all 5 discs without a problem, but I can't play the game. I'm told that I need to update Steam, whatever that is. I've looked up Steam, and I do not want to play online. I just want to play the...
