To be honest, using Apples Boot Camp allows you to dual-boot the mac into another OS - XP or Vista, and use the Mac as a full blown PC. This means no emutation slowdowns; your hardware is being used completely. You can use something like Parallels to run a virtual machine from Mac OS, and jump...

I have a Logitech Mx laser mouse, so I do the same as you guys - I stll hate Mac mice - they are very pretty to look at; but that doen't help when you are trying to blow somebodys head off...:laugh:

Actually, the speed is very good. My display is 1440x900 or thereabouts, and with everything maxed out - inc. 6x AA, full HRD etc, Half Life 2 runs very quickly. I don't know what the exact fps is, but I don't see any lag - I can whizz the mouse about like crazy, and it keeps up. For Episode 1...

I'll probably get flamed for mentioning the M word; but is anyone else using a mac to play Half Life? I'm on a MacBook Pro, and booting into Windows using Boot Camp - all seems to work very well. (I use a mac as my primary machine because of my work - I use Windows for games, as Apple has a...

Mac under Boot Camp, so PC I guess.

No need to dash about mate - just get the elevator to go up once you have shot your 3rd energy balls into the receptors down below - concentrate on getting to the lift, and forget the core engergy buffer thingy at the top of the lift. Once back up top - turn round, and through the broken window...

This is a solution to a problem I had, that may well help others with the same problem. I kept getting a total lock-up at certain and repeatable parts of the game - the audio would start looping, and the screen would freeze. I could sometimes return to the desktop by <alt-tab> ing, or hitting...

<offtopic> I've just noticed I've gone from a member to a manhack....we're all bugs and aliens I see - been away for a bit; when did this happen....If I keep posting...what will I become?...eeeewww <\offtopic>

It's Doctors Without Borders.....they will help anyone anywhere...Nice folk..;)

Isn't the stuff falling from the sky ash from all the fires etc. in the Citadel...It does a similar thing when you get a good sized volcanoe going off (Mount St. Helens for example). Goodness knows what nasties are burning in something big, alien and wierd like the Citadel. One point though...

Sorry I didn't reply to your post...I'm off to bed now....but I really should read about it a bit too...1st wee job tomorrow. night-night...:)

<ahem>...and if I hear 'Fife' and 'swan' again....I'll scream....:rolleyes:

....This is rather the point I have been badly putting - it <can> be bad; having spent most of my pre-uni life living next to a farm - I do remember the BSE crisis. But as we have seen from it's close tracking - this flu isn't The Plague either. I know how much the impression people get from...

Fair 'nuff - it's not like any spreadable disease should be left ignored - I'm not suggesting that....it's just there is little room for other news, and I think a fair balance has been lost at the moment - it is oversaturation, that I'm sure this scare will be forgotten in a few weeks, even...

I usually listen to the radio and keep up to date with the news - but cannot bear to switch on either as most media sources cannot report anything other than a continuous stream of blow-by-blow accounts of the progress of bloody bird flu. 140-odd deaths <worldwide>, and folk are shitting...
