Morning Q&As

  • Half-Life 2
    The Doug Lombardi Q&A on GameSpy chats with the Valve rep about Half-Life 2 now that the shooter sequel is gold: "During installation the user will be prompted to authenticate the copy and create a Steam account. After that is complete, the single-player and LAN games do not require an Internet connection." He also promises more info on TeamFortress 2, an SDK, and more CS: Source and Day of Defeat maps, all to appear "soon."
  • Dungeon Siege II
    Edge Gaming's Dungeon Siege II Q&A talks with Sarah Boulian about Gas Powered Games' upcoming RPG sequel: "We are of course taking advantage of recent Shader technology, and you'll see the kinds of particle, heat, smoke and so on effects typical of recent games (provided you have a video card that supports that technology, of course it's hardware-accelerated). Dungeon Siege II's content will have its own distinct, detailed, beautiful style, and we think, looking back at DS1, you'll be astonished at how far we've come, even compared with the benchmark qualities of our original game."
  • Scrapland
    The Scrapland Q&A on GameSpot talks with Enlight's American McGee about Mercury Steam Entertainment's new science fiction game: "Imagine a set of scales made of metal. Old ones--like the ones held by that lady who measures justice. On one side picture a bunch of bananas. On the other side picture some angry weasels. (Poke them with something to make them angry if they seem too placid.) Good, now see how dynamic the bananas and the weasels are with that blind lady trying to figure out what the !(@# is going on with her scales. That's the kind of balance we were looking for. Try it, you'll like it. You are a banana by the way. "
  • Time of Defiance
    The Time of Defiance Q&A on Warcry News Network discussing the new version of Nicely Crafted Entertainment's MMORTS game in an article-format Q&A with Mark Ashton.

>>>b) Runs processes in the background
>>>when I'm not even using it.

I just turn it off. It's not that hard. Right click -> exit.

Firstly, that's annoying to have to do.

Second, some programs won't let you.
