So shadows make a game now?  That's news to me.

They help it a lot... Perhaps the crap shadows aren't that visible in HL2, but when you play CS:S some shadows are beyond weird.

And its not about the game, its JUST about the graphics...

Granted the shadows may not be the greatest, everything else is though.

You know, I never got to see the Hydra, what the hell is up with that. And you know in the 'Beta' that map at dusk with the zombies on the plank and the crow you can beat to death. Never saw that either. Or the boat with those robots.

You're going to be beat down for bringing that stuff up. ;)

1. Hydra removed

2. Plank Scene: Was that even ever considered in?

3. Robots on Boat: Wait, what robots on boat?

Dr. Thodt, the hydra got removed because they couldn't create the AI for it, at least thats what I believe I read. I never even heard about that other stuff.

I've heard two stories about this. One is that they looked amazing but were really easy to kill so they took them out. Another was that they were insanely hard to kill so they took them out. Eh, go figure. One of those is probably right, my guess is the first one.

Ok then, paper cd cases....... looks beautiful?

Anything Half-Life 2 at the point that was posted, just before the release, was beautiful. Especially the CDs and knowing that the game was indeed going to be released anytime soon.

I have a big problem with the brightness.

Even if I set it to 1.6, I can't even read the third line of text. If I turn my monitor's brightness to max, I can only read the bottom line (faintly at that).

No matter how much I adjust the brightness in the Catalyst control centre, HL2 remains just as dark.

How do I increase the brightness/gamma in HL2??? :(

Using Catalyst 4.12, control centre 1.0.1796.585

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
