CS Final! Here's the final CS Anthology cover - the back may look similar to that of the HL Anthology cover (cos it's pretty much the same). Cheers, Jim

Fixed! Right, got it all sorted. Thanks for the heads up! I've not got an original copy of the cover, so the back of the packaging is what I've managed to knock up from a scan of the back of the packaging (from some odd chinese website) slightly modified and moved around to reflect the...

It's complete! Howdo all, I've just finished my first HL cover for the HL Anthology! It's (hopefully) an almost identical replica to the one currently seen on store shelves at the moment. I've attached a low-res version, but I've got a larger one that weighs in at approximately 3Mb (~3000...

They're pretty cool covers and inspired me to knock up my own. I'm actually after scans of the back of the HL Anthology cover & the CS Anthology. If anyone could help out I'd be grateful. Thanks, Mother

Hey guys, I'm trying to knock up a copy of the HL Anthology and CS Anthology covers so I can print them out and store my backed-up Steam games in a half-decent looking DVD case. So far I'm making good progress on the HL Anthology cover (the CS cover needs a little more work - I need to...

It's available in the Game post-chrimbo sale at the moment for £9.98. http://shop.game.net/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=10341&mid=321207 Listed as out of stock at the moment, but you can probably pick one up in store. Hell, for less than £10, can it really be that bad? <curses> I should have...

Where's the option for Barnacles? Those things still give me the creeps :(

You could always simulate an illness whilst at work. I've heard that wheat based cereal and vegetable soup mixed together makes for convincing looking vomit.... Stick a packet of cereal and some veggie soup in your drawer at work, and job's a good one! Coincidentally I've got the day off...

Somehow (probably when drunk last night) I started CS downloading, bearing in mind I'm on a 56k connection, it's already acquired 70% of it. I've just started the dedicated server downloading too and that's already at 60%. I'm guessing that Steam copies common files from other installed games...

Hopefully Valve will implement payment by Maestro or Cirrus. I can't see them locking out on of Europes most popular cards. On a side note, am I the only one who is quietly impressed by Steam at the moment?

I could go for the technical explanation (having just sat an advanced graphics exam), but that'd make me look like a fool. Aliasing is where you get jagged edges along polygons due to the low rendering resolution of a video card. Anti-aliasing allows your graphics card to minimise the amount...

Yes Slash, you're right. They've waves AND particles simultaneously (according to wave particle duality). Isn't physics fun? Speaking of which, I've got to write a raytracer for a week Monday :S

As a sidetrack to this thread, has anyone ever gone to work the day following Halloween still wearing makeup? I did it last year, went in one one eye covered in eyeliner (clockwork orange droog), I don't think that my employer was that impressed.

Hi peeps, According to www.bluesnews.com, a new version of Steam has been released: "A Steam update has just been released. The next time you restart Steam, the update will take effect. Here are the details on what is included: Added support for "trickle update", which will allow...

Am I the only gamer that was too scared of SS2 to play it? It's been sat on the shelf for the last 2 year, but everytime there's a noise in the distance, I s**t myself, jump, and move the mouse so I end up looking at the ceiling. I'm more scared of it than I am halflife :)
