    Doug Lombardi Responds to Left 4 Dead 2 Ban

    This will mean that the vast majority of Australians who want to play LFD2 will be forced to pirate the game, as there will be no truly legal means for them to acquire the title. This is obviously bad for Valve, and bad for the public opinion of Australia's government.

    Now on Steam: Bully: Scholarship Edition

    Played this one back when it came out on the PS2. It's a lot of fun, but not much replay value IMO.

    Aperture cake

    One of GLaDOS's modules recites the cake recipie while you carry it around. I think it's the second to last one which does it.

    STUCK! Please help! (spoilers)

    Assuming you had already taken out the two turrents at the top (the ones next to the fans), look up from where the turrets were and you'll see a room above, with no portal-able walls in it. Notice the floor you are standing on is portal-able... Make a portal here on the floor, then jump off the...

    360 or PC?

    What socket does your motherboard have? If its a 939 you can get a dual core proc pretty cheaply (they're less than $70 US already). I'd upgrade the computer if I were you. All you'd really NEED is a new CPU, but a new motherboard, CPU, video card, and RAM would obviously make a much larger...

    Riot Act Mod Released

    I managed to get around the strider's blue beam o' death by turning the difficulty down from Hard to Medium just long enough to be able to hit the switch to call the tram. From that point on you can use Hard w/o an issue.

    Doug Lombardi Q&A

    I was hoping we'd learn what they plan to do about getting Steam games to appear correctly in Vista Games Explorer.

    Can't start Lost Coast

    Since I had the same problem with Episode One, I thought I'd post the solution to this problem: Bring the desktop resolution to 1024x768 (mine was originally set to 1280x1024), and start the game. From here you can change the game's resolution to whatever resolution you prefer, play the...

    Episode One Teaser #3

    In terms of gameplay "dollars-per-hour", it costs the same as HL2 did upon its release day. So no, it's not more expensive then buying the full game (or story) all at once. Sure you could wait a couple months for it to go down in price, but you can do that with anything.

    Can't start Lost Coast

    Mobo: ASRock 939DualSATA-2 Video: Geforce 6800 GT Oced CPU: Opteron 165 OCed to 2.7 GHz RAM: 1024 Megs HDD: SATA2, over 250 Gigs free. Should work great. :) It used to run fine (this is not the first time I've played the tech demo) but not anymore.

    Can't start Lost Coast

    I can run other source games such as HL2, SIN, and HL2 mods just fine. But if I try to start Lost Coast, Steam attempts to start it, I see a window quickly open, them minimise, then close, and presto, it's gone... like I never tried to run it. I tried deleting all the local content and...

    A Few Good G-Men (Half-Life 2 machinima)

    Is it just me, or does the animation and audio lose sync increasingly about a minute in from the beginning?
