What the hell are you blabbing about? If checking the thread every 5 minutes equals checking it every hour or so, then yes, I check it every five minutes. Second of all, Im not even home so I cant play the damn game, and thirdly why the hell do you care? Mind your own business. You make yourself look like a jackass. The only thing that has quote "ruined" the game for me was when some idiot posted a screen of the last part. The mods already said to limit the amount of postings with spoilers in it. Get a life.

That's still besides the point of what I said. Someone like that will come back and post something else that might ruin the game and you're going to end up seeing it and be angry that you did. Just don't read anything about the game until your done with it, that's is if you don't want someone to ruin it for you. It's kind of pointless to go hush hush don't say anything because you know someone is going to end up saying something. It's like walking into girls locker room, you may or may not see a boobie ;).

Why do I care? Because it's kind of like walking into it, you can't blame anyone but your self for coming the the thread. You know everyone ends up posting someone thing may ruin the game. It happens on every game release and every movie release.

Just leave it on what it sets it to, cept turn Trilinear filtering down to Bilinear, and keep to 800x600 i reckon. Still looks awesome.

P.s them spinny blade flying things are awesome, little buggers!

Hahah it's 9:19am PST (I just started work at 9am) and I'll ready I'm itching to get out and go play. I seriously think this game is going to change the way people look at gaming forever. I'm really happy for gamers everywhere this year that we have got AWESOME flagship games for every consol,. Halo 2 (xbox),. GTA:San Andres (PS2),. and now HL2 (PC). I do however feel sorry for consol gamers because there is no way they can know the joy of holding their optical mouse with the great 5.1 sound and a 256MB video card. There is just so much more detail in PC games then consol. I HOPE TO GOD they don't spoil this game by releasing it to consol (atleast not for a while). I'm going to run to the mall @ lunch to go buy a strat guide for when I get stuck. Anyone have any tips on the best strat guide?

BTW Current specs in sig,.

3.93E GHz P4,. 1GB Cosair XMS PC4000,. 6800GT (420/1120),. Audigy 2,. Zalman 5.1 headphones.

All I have to say is DAMN... When I am just exploring around (not during figts) i get about 200FPS - 250FPS and when I get a lot of action (fighting,. explosions,. etc.) I get about 120FPS - 150FPS @ 1600x1200 with 4xAF and 8xAA

From what i've seen of the game, 3 hours ish, its not one bit a let down. I was gutted at Doom, but not this. Oh no.

I was also pretty worried because CS:Source runs awful on my computer, and i was sure HL2 would follow but it doesn't, it runs fine!

Also my apologies BlindLabel013 i just didn't see the point you were trying to make.

:D

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
