Yeah, these load times are killing me. A little bit of me dies every time it loads. It is insane how often the game has to take you out of the action and load. Every couple of minutes on the hovercraft levels it would completely take me out of the action for over a minute. That kills...

Who cares if it is a rip off? It better be a well executed rip off. If the Vagarys are any indication, Doom 3 can easily do the physics.

How is it struggling to load textures? Jeez, it autosaves/loads every few minutes (it takes forever too). Is their algorithim for this O(2^n)? Did monkeys write it? Doom 3 & Farcry & UT2004 don't have any problem with this. When users with over a Gig of RAM and 128 mb plus video cards are...

I have the same problem too. Damn audio stuttering. I have an Audigy 2 sound card & 1 Gig of RAM. There should be absolutely no problem with preloading the sounds and textures. Doom 3 runs fine at the same settings. But then again, Doom was made by iD, and this is Valve. Hmm... with...

I finally got to create an account and login into steam. Unlocking is taking forever. There must be a massive queue waiting for the server to process the clients request.

Poll: How was your STEAM experience (good/bad)? Has your steam experience been good or bad? Vote and praise/vent. Personally, I have yet to be able to create an account (I get 3 errors that seem to cycle between themselves upon pressing next after i enter the secret question :flame: ).

Politics is about peoples' opinions. True a big ego doesn't guarantee a person success (and it can even hurt people), but it doest push socitey forward. Nobody wants to be second best, so they work for first. P.S. I'm not saying that people with big egos are good people or that I...

I am glad that Arafat is dead. He was a terrorist plain and simple. The PLO is a terrorist organization. I mourn his death as Americans mourned Hitler's in WW2. The Middle East situation is amazingly simple. Saying it is too complex for the common man to understand is a smokescreen. It...

Flat out wrong. Ego is what drives human progress forward. It is not only healthy, but essential.

Microsoft will keep Halo 2 alive forever because it sells their Xbox.

Where did you get the 1 million figure from? That sounds much more reasonable, but a link would be nice.

Point me to an article where it says that Half-Life 2 has about 2 million pre-orders over steam. I just don't believe it. (Although I would be happy to be proven wrong :))

A store that sells the game early is breaking its contract with its distributer. I am pretty sure that Vivendi could take action against the guilty parties (not 100% though). It is stupid to move up a nationwide launch because some copies of the product were "leaked" to the public early. If...

This case won't fly. First, you have to protect your patent whenever it is infringed, or it is basically lost. They haven't done anything in 16 years. Secondly, the patent itself might be thrown out for being too broad. Whoever issued it was a moron. It is like having a patent on clothes.

I suggest a religion poll next. We could all vote for which religion is the one and only.
