This thread is huge and when I searched in this section I only found old or irrelevant threads/posts.

So, now I'm asking.

From what I understand, the Bronze version is the same as the retail version, except that the retail version requires you to put in the CD to be able to play.

It seems that they won't change that since they don't want to screw even more with Vivendi.

You get Counter-Strike Source and Deathmatch with the bronze version so I assume that you get that with the retail version too.

But, Valve will port Team Fortress Classic later (Gabe said so), so I'm wondering, do you guys think that it will be availible in the retail version?

(Team Fortress 2 and TFC source are who different games)

For those who have never seen Team Fortress at all, it is CTF with player classes. You pick a class instead of weapons.

So CTF will pretty much kill the fun in TF.

Also, how long does it take to buy the games over Steam? It says that the purchase will be taken care of immediately but how long does it take?

I think I want the Steam version instead of the retail version. The whole house can explode and I'll still have my game.

All I did was update my motherboard bios to the latest version, reinstall the same drivers I was using for my graphics card 9500pro, and it's quality now.

running better than ever.

yep. you go underground to meet the dude with the hat. .....and rocket.

i can finally play the game without people having crazy claws coming out of their hands.

Mind you, it does meen the ?93 I spent on a 9700pro I ordered was a bit of a waste of money. Nevermind.

I just beat it and I must say... The ending was rather disappointing.

Everything from the beginning to the final chapter was excellent. However the final chapter and battle was... eh...

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
