    Half-life 2 bug

    According to the description in your video, you are running an Intel GMA 3100, which is an integrated graphics card... not made for gaming. You'd have a much better experience if you bought a proper graphics card.

    GAHHH need help with half life 2

    The T5500 is a mobile CPU, so yes, he's using a laptop. Which means the GPU is likely an Intel GMA.... crap for games. Like lord_raken suggested, lowering your graphics settings might help.

    [Updated] Pachter - Steam May Soon Offer Trade-Ins, Lombardi Says No

    Smelled like bullshit from the start... why would Valve do this? They would only stand to lose money by letting their customers trade old games in towards credit for new games.... as opposed to just making them pay full price for new games.

    should be titled "playing on OSX or Windows?" since Macs are PCs anyway.

    Portal refuses to start

    why are you running it in a VM? 3d acceleration support in most VM products is shit to none. that is why you are having problems.

    Valve and AMD to Distribute Drivers via Steam

    You get the best bang for your buck with ATI. Nvidia cards might be better, but you pay a premium for miniscule performance gains.. Plus, I had two 8800 GTXs die on me in the last few years..

    Valve Teases a Mac Release of Steam

    meh. don't care about mac osx support, because i won't pay $400 extra for the same hardware with a different operating system. i hope they make a native linux version of steam and the games, but im not holding my breath.

    Pre-Purchase Bioshock 2 on Steam Now

    Was all ready to pre-order this until I saw it not only has Securom, but Games for Windows Live. GFWL was a serious pain in the ass in the PC port of GTA4, so there's no way I'm buying this. You'd think 2k would get a clue after the shitstorm surrounding the Bioshock release. The pirate copy...

    Switzerland bans minarets

    Good for the Swiss. I wonder why the people against this feel that the Swiss don't have the right to preserve their own culture and identity. Who says they have to appease anyone?

    Left 4 Dead 2 Update

    Fix the AI, Valve! It should be at least remotely possible to beat a campaign on Expert mode with 3 bots. As soon as a horde or tank shows up they all get assraped because they're dumb as shit.

    Alienware Team Up With Steam

    I think it's more about the first thing (flaunting your supposed wealth) than having a gaming PC. Any local computer joint will build you a custom gaming PC if you just give them a list of parts, and still for a lot less than an alienware costs. Also, its already been said, but the cases are...
