Damn right it is. Youre just lucky enough to catch us on HL2 night where everyone is here burning time until it comes out. Then it will be desolate, I can garuantee it.

...*tumbleweed rolls by*

yes i did, even though i hate ricochet, and if i wanted a Tron-ish game then ill reinstall Tron2.0, but ehh, who knows, i may feel like self mutilation later down teh road

*Edit*

anybody know why the steampowerd forums are down, are they trying to save bandwith, or keeping the people who dont know what they are talkign about from posting why it didnt activate at midknight in some time zone other then pacific

*Edit*

lol you installed ricochet?

if you get pulled over just start saying Half-Life 2 over and over, maby the cop will understand and give you a police escort under teh conditions that he can watch behidn you, or play for 5 minuts.

:no:

i'm partly ****ed off about today, not sure if i've got time to play it once i have it.

my grand scheme was ruined by a group of chinese in my group at uni, wanting to meet up today for a pointless meeting on something we've already done.

hence: fonz = in a funny mood.

:D

i'm excited about this, but not to the scale others are...because i am..y'know...NORMAL.

:ninja:

*orgasms*

OMFG N00B HL2 GNNA R00L!!! LOLs

lol... Imagine if when it was time, a screen just came up when you restarted Steam that said "OWNED" and nothing else happened. That would suck.  :ninja: lol

    • Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
