I'm mighty relieved HL2.net has some sense*, what disturbs me most is the people who actually defend the police in instances like this. There is a god-awful mentality floating around that says if you don't act like a perfect citizen at all times then you deserve what you get. It's beyond...

Personally I agree with Valve that dx10 isn't necessary as yet, but only as far as they use the Source engine in its current (or incrementally upgraded) form. Looking at games such as Crysis, Half-Life 2 at least is looking mighty dated technology wise. I still think it looks great, but there's...

Reminds me of Rollerball (film). Probably inspired by it.

I can't recall a napoleonic mod off the top of my head, but there's a great Civil War mod called Blue and Grey.

Unfortunately no, although it is quite... freely available. Plus the mods made for it are ridiculous. In quantity and quality that is.

The author is not expecting Valve to do the porting themselves. Valve (according to him) wants to get paid 1m by a porting company for the privilege of porting HL2. So Valve does (next to) no work, but demands 1million dollars anyway. That's before the profit they earn from the port (again...

EDIT: Oh, and for some odd reason I'm really, really excited about Bungie (re)gaining independence. Probably 'cause it feels like the good ol' days. Quoted for unbelievably epic truth. If I had to pick my three favourite games of all time (franchises count - ie Myth I and II is one choice...

Sigh... I wasn't meaning that in a pro or anti-mac way. Just throwing it out there, as it seemed to encompass the whole issue. But by all means, overreact! Be my guest!

But that would make enemies hard to see. CS is about hardcore realism, not crap like trees getting in the way. /sarcasm Awesome job, that looks fantastic. I have mad respect for you making something that unique in CS:S. I really hope it gets a lot of play. P.S. Any in-game shots? I mean while...

Some of Marathon's levels were quite challenging. All depends on the difficulty of course.

Yarharhar http://www.hylobatidae.org/minerva/blogsheep.php?action=articleinfo&id=59 Adam runs XP on an iMac to develop Minerva. I'm not sure what to conclude from that, but... /thread

Either I'm missing something or none of you actually bothered to read it... He is claiming (and there's no reason to believe he's lying) that Valve demanded 1m for the rights to port HL2. So if someone like Aspyr wanted to bring HL2 to mac, they'd have to pay Valve 1 million dollars...

Here's an opposite opinion from PZ Myers I agree with Sam in pointing out the slight absurdity of needing the term "atheist", but I'm inclined to go with Myers in realising its necessity.

Screens! (on Very High of course)

We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control. No dark sarcasm in the classroom. Teacher leave the kids alone. Hey, teacher leave the kids alone! All in all it's just another brick in the wall. All in all you're just another brick in the wall Btw, your bunny has a pancake on its...
