The ending is funny :p

Eww her dad :rofl:

LMFAO! For the first one: why the heck is Bill saying Zoey :laugh:

First the TF2 heavy+someone clips then these :laugh:

After paying $60 for Half-Life 2, and having sit through a 5 hour install process, I will never again buy or play a Valve game.

Yes, it was that aggravating.

If you did that for the initial release of Half Life 2... that was four years ago. :huh: No surprise that on its release their servers were being raped to hell and back.

Item 1: All Valve titles on steam

Item 2: Half-Life 2

To start off, there is no Steam SKU that is priced at $60 which contains HL2, the most expensive being the complete pack at $99. Secondly HL2 is priced at $19.99.

Therefore you must of purchased retail, in which case you got massively ripped-off. That or you're only claiming to have paid $60 and you pirated the game, which would be a possible explanation to how you spent "5 hours" installing the game.

If you did buy a legal retail copy, then i suggest you take it up with the retailer you bought it from.

That, or this is a very poorly executed trolling attempt. That's all the possibilities i can think of so far.

^^ He probably got Half Life 2 on release back in fall 2004, which back then I can see how it may have cost $60. Also add that HL2's launch was plagued with Steam problems.

Ah, i suppose that's true thinking back.

What i still don't understand is the need to "Rain on this thread's parade" by bringing something up from 2004. :/

Would anyone be up for some Neowin Versus this weekend? ( Xbox 360 )

Count me in on possibly Saturday afternoon and/or at some point Sunday afternoon.

The first time massiveterra played versus was also my first time as well as we were playing together with 6 of his friends, and I definitely have to say although I am not as super impressed as he is as I happen to think CoOp is really fun too, I thoroughly did enjoy versus a whole damn lot. Honestly the best absolute way to enjoy versus is playing people you know, so if we can get 8 people to do a 4 vs 4, that is definitely the way to play it.

Anyone up for some L4D on Steam? Been playing a bit and love it. Be great to share the experience with some fellow Neowinians!

Maybe next month, when I'll (hopefully) get this game. :cry:

Would someone please be so kind to spam this thread endlessly when Valve runs a discount sale for L4D? :)

get the 4 pack. you pay less money.

Uhh.. no go. Good luck finding three others to split the cost with... well in my case. Everyone likes to pirate :/

Usually around the week of Christmas Steam has a storewide discount on games, so I'll wait until then...

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly. Deletion messaging — Refined localized task deletion text for clarity and consistency. Text wrapping — Improved URI input wrapping and task name multiline display. Navigation layout — Improved sub-navigation responsiveness. Disk allocation default — Changed the default file allocation method to trunc. Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
