if you go back to levels and get the blue grav gun, you can pull npc's and make tons of corpses, i had a pile of the guy in ravenholm just laying on the ground, cause i was bored while he was talking

Please... for the last time g-man = government man. Read the Half-Life manual if you want to know who he is. Although theres obviously SOMETHING  more to him, that doesnt mean g-man means gordon-FREE-man... they don't look anything alike really.

but it could explain why gordon doesn't talk, cause then we would hear him talk just like gman :p

Anyone know how to push the game further? Like increase the texture quality?

I've got a Radeon 9500 Pro , and everythings on full. But there are times where I think it could do with more bump mapping, or better textures.

Any console commands to max it out? Even if it does end up running slower.

Wrong again, we don't hear Gordon talk for the same reason why we don't see him in any cut-scenes, or his reflection in water or anything else. It's because Valve believes that it is wrong to show the main character in the game itself. That is why we don't see his hands when he's driving, it would show too much of his arms when he's making a turn. The hands on weapons is just a concession, becouse it would look way to dumb having a gun floating in front of you.

I was looking for some MODS and maps for HL2 and was astonished at the amount of sites and people already making maps and MODS for HL2... and found a rather funny picture...

:D :D

I found it very funny to be honest although some people might find this offensive then I apologise for any inconvenience caused...

Maybe it's my warped sense of humour... :huh:

:blink: Anyone know what I mean if I say I am stuck in a room in the "Follow Freeman" round of HL2? I am in a room with those auto-machineguns on the walls that start firing when I break the beams. I have blown up all 6 guns and tried to press the red button... Nothing. The doors are sealed and there appears to be no-where to go... I am confused... :blink:

Can you post a screenshot? I can't visualize where you are.

They didn't show a shadow or hands on the steering wheel etc. because the programmers were being lazy.

    • LOL. Can't even quote and edit a comment correctly. Figures you're a Linux user.
    • I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
