[DVD Cover] Half-Life 2


Question

I know a lot of you are going to be downloading Half-Life 2 and Counter Strike via Steam, so I figured people would want to make a backup of their cache files. Anyways, here's something I made over the past couple of days.

Enjoy. :happy:

Great first post... Way to make a first impression :no:

Anyway, very well done (Y). I don't understand why Valve doesn't want their stuff on there; you've done such a great job that it could improve their image ;)

They just don't want someone going around saying "OMG I HVAE TEH REEL CVR ART OMG WTF LOL!!!1!!!1one" and then they have to do 'damage control'

Plus people would go "The authenticy(sp?) is on the image so it MUST be real"

Anyways, I really hope valve pays my old buddy and uses his artwork. Cause it would be a smart choice in the end. That stuff is dead sexy.

Yeah. If all of their logo's and trademarks are on it, people think it was made by then, when it really wasn't. I respect that, so I took them off.

Cryptic_Night, I wish they would hire me on as a graphic designer... or even VuG... because we all know how much everyone loves VuG. lol. :laugh:

LOL... off topic much? :rofl:

Anyhow... I should be finished making the HL2 CD Labels pretty soon. I just have to wait for my new hard drive. :pinch:

Yes...Back on Topic.....

How many CD covers would you have to make. And for an idea....make it like a scrolling picture. So when you place all the CDs down on the table in a row it forms the big piccture.

Another Idea: Place them in the order of the spelling "HL:2 CS:S" if it was 6 CD's. So when they put the CD's in order, you get a cool image like thingy.

Just ideas.

The game was already confirmed to have six CDs, or one DVD. I'm not so sure about the scrolling picture idea, as that would be somewhat awkward I'd find. I'm going to re-design the DVD Label, though, as I don't really like how plain it is.

Sorry but I'm unable to host the pics for now as my host (who was giving me free hosting) yelled at me for using 15gigs a month of bandwidth. As it was the only thing that was on my site, shows how popular your labels are Devin :D. Anyways, since I know how high the demand is I'm looking for another host to use up :p. I thought about hosting on my own comp but I don't think sbc would like that, so you'll just have to use the mirror for now.

Great news man :D  - Just make sure Valve don't mind eh? ;)

Oh, and where's my HL:S, DOD:S, and CS;S covers aswell?  :whistle:  :p

lol, I'm working on it! :blush: Just finished midterms, so I should be all set. :yes:

Yep, if all goes well I'd post you out a copy of the finished mag.

However, Valve misunderstood what we were asking at first, and now that

they do they say it's 'probably best' for us not to do it. I think we're

going to show them the modified version just to check, but at the moment

it looks like it's off. Sorry about that. We'll still point people to

the URL of your case design for them to get it from the net.

*tear* I think VALVe is a little over protective. I mean, who would honestly think you would get the FULL version of Half-Life 2 in PC Gamer? :pinch:

    • Can confirm, I've built stuff for others and no complaints using their products.
    • Yes I agree, it's annoying. You can now miss tabs unless you point low enough.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
