well srry for the bandwith issues 200gigs of bandwith were used up in under 24hours and I don't feel like buying more. But if anyone is still interested in the article I can put it up on one of my other sites

also it is interesting what people will read and twist it into something it is not take for instance this article
http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=3292
it was clearly writen after reading what I typed up on http://themetrocollective.net/hl (not up)
the writer states thing like "black market" and "full game", which I completely contradict in my article
thankfully no credit was given to me =)

i told you it was just the alpha.


and the writing on that demo is hideously wrong.

"the events of hl2 take place right after hl1"

ummm yeah if by "right after" you mean several years.


"western city"

ummm no. must be hard for the ruskies to accept that their homes a wastleand in real life and in a computer game.

I dont understand, ur calling Russia a wasteland? Moskow is the #2 most expensive city to live in in the world, New York is #7. Hard to imagine it being a wasteland :/

I would ignore Dougy he's insulting a country for being poor, which isn't a very nice thing to do. Regardless of how much it costs to live in Moskow, Russia isn't exactly a very rich or well governed country so they majority of russians can't afford "legit" games that cost $30 at the least which is a months wages to the average russian. Not only that but most games don't get published in russia so there's no way for them to get hold of them legally other than importing them. As for the Ukraine it is pretty much the same. If it wasn't for the pirates people wouldn't be playing computer games in russia or the Ukriane, I believe that people in these countries would rather have the legal version if 1: it was possible to get it and 2: it didn't cost a fortune.

Now compare these evil evil people to the teenagers of Europe and America who despite being able to afford the games decide to download them off the internet for free useing a connection there parents are paying for, ripping people like me off.
