    Xmas Pack

    Aren't some of them already wearing little beanie style snowcaps? If you use your imagination, maybe they could be yarmulkas... :D Sorry if I mispelled that there... :cheers:

    Seen this before?

    I ran into something similar near the lighthouse. I hopped down the onto the cliff ledge, but then I heard gunfire from above. I was able to jump back into the lighthouse's basement door and go back up outside ready to kick some ass. Well, what do I see? Random gunfire sounds coming from...

    Wow, that's impressive...now you've just got to take care of all of Ravenholm...then all of C17, then your job will be done!

    What cool hidden things did you find?

    You actually get to see them when you're going down the elevator with Mossman...it's pretty funny.

    i saw him Twice but who is he ?

    Cool, I did see him there, but I just thought it was a resistance member. When I went into the house there was a body so I figured that he got killed when the headcrab transport thing crashed there. I also saw him where you shoot down the chopper in the lake...didn't get a screen shot though...

    Why would you ever trust Gamespot?

    One very important thing to note about Gamespot's reviews. You'll notice that all of those 10/10 reviews are pre-2002. You'll also notice that, in 2002, they started giving out editor's choice awards to games that scored higher than 9.0/10. When they made that change, they also revamped their...

    Gamespot review in less then 3 hours.

    So that all of the reviews will be out close to the time that the game comes out. It's not really a big security concern because all reviewers of games are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement stating that they will not mention anything about the game or release their review until a...

    Gamespot review in less then 3 hours.

    I can't imagine that Valve wouldn't have ability to unlock certain individuals' Steam accounts and allow reviewers to play the game that way. That's kind of a huge part of a system like this! PS - Where is this countdown? I'm not seeing it on gamespot's main page anywhere...

    Funny things you can do in hl2 (Spoilers of a sort)

    Wouldn't work with most bullets as they're instant hits, but there are some cool uses for this stuff! I'll be staying up late quite a bit in the weeks to come!

    Half-Life 2's gamespot review coming up this sunday?

    You can pretty much guarantee that all of the major internet reviewers have had their review copies for several weeks now. Steam can definitely unlock HL2 on people's systems on case by case basis for those that are authorized to use it already. I do remember hearing, though, that no online...

    Retail Half-Life 2 activated at a specific time?

    But those were both steam-only releases, we haven't had to deal with an activation time for a joint Steam/Retail release yet.

    Retail Half-Life 2 activated at a specific time?

    Retail stores in Australia will be open at that time...it doesn't make much sense for Australians to be able to buy the game but then have to wait until 6:00 PM PST to activate, now does it... :E

    Anyone playing HL to get ready for HL2

    If HL:S gets unlocked over Steam prior to HL2 coming out, I'll probably play it, otherwise, it'll wait until after HL2. I don't see myself ever playing a game on the original HL engine again...unless DoD:S is still a while off.

    Anyone doing a reformat before release?

    Wow! How much crap do you put on your computer to make it bog down after 2 months? I can usually easily go 9 months between formats and I thought I loaded a bunch of random software... Anyways, nope, I won't be reformatting for HL2. I've got a designated Gaming username which has all of...
