I got used to the layout pretty quick but the thing that got me was the 'F-lock' modifier. So, your F keys don't do what you expect (F2 = rename for example) until you turn this lock key on.

Was driving me absolutely nuts until I stumbled on a registry fix by some guy. It flips these keys' values at load up so - without having to press the f-lock key - they do what you expect from boot.

Here's the link - made me a mucho happier man

Good for you Blue. A lot of people have been holding back on saying how much they enjoyed it or how good it is for fear of retribution.

I, for one, am with you - I'm loving it and will be gutted when it's over. The city section towards the end, with Striders etc is fabulous, fabulous gameplay.

Not sure what the hoo-ha is all about regarding this. Why are people ranting about "I paid for it so I wanna use it any way I see fit"? If you ever read the license agreement with music or movies, you are not allowed to show/play them in a public place. Shops that play music on their in-shop system without agreement are infringing the purchase/license terms. It's nothing new.

Equally, as shown by the fella with the CD covermount story - that's absolutely right imo. People are not allowed to make money from other people's products without correctly paying/agreeing terms for this. If Valve choose to distribute their game via Steam or require cafes to adhere to different terms than the EULA, then that's their right. The power of decision can't be in the hands of the purchaser, otherwise businesses simply couldn't function as businesses - they'd effectively be factories at the back and call of consumers. Like it or not, that wouldn't work.

I find it bizarre that the Australia certification body has such issues with a Playboy game, when their country is one which legalises brothels?!

Odd.

I think Valve are attempting to destroy the world's economy. I mean, who the hell releases a game on a TUESDAY (UK time)?

It's the Euro release time, but just subtract 8 hours to get your PST release time.

Thanks for the nod to Princess Bride Blue

I've just read the book after loving the film for many years - it was great; cleverly written.

The Ninja one is incredible. If anyone likes more of the same, Joe Eigo's vids are awesome (he's a student of Capoeira) and can be found at http://www.multilevelmoves.com/

I can relate Blue. I've just had to shell out £500 for a new base unit after frying my PSU and corrupting the Boot Sector of my new 180Gb HDD whilst installing a new CPU.

So I now have a dead:
- Athlon XP 3200+
- 180 Gb 7200rpm 8Mb Hitachi HDD
- ASUS A7N8X mobo
- Antec 430W truepower PSU

Which smells much like you described...

Just wanted to say it's been 30 degrees C (90F I think) in London, the much-maligned British weather is behaving itself for once

I can't get the vids to work. As usual (i.e. every time) Windows Media Player connects to the 'codec server' and fails to get the codec. I have Divx and Xvid installed - what the blazes are these mpeg files using?!

"But dont you think Farcry 'looks' much better?"
Sometimes.

I played and enjoyed Far Cry - there's no doubt that it produced the best foliage and indoor lighting I've seen so far. But I thought that the characters were less impressive, very plastic-looking and all the mercs looked the same. I thought the vehicles were nice, but not really anything I hadn't seen before (how different can a jeep look?).

My excitement with HL2 is that, even if the graphics may be less impressive in places than Far Cry, the locations look superb. Not only an accurately recreated city but one being invaded by a towering Alien assimilation craft - laundry rooms, balconies, staircases, beaches etc etc. The content there far surpasses Far Cry to me.

On top of that it looks to boast the most impressive characters I've ever seen. Yes, FC has set the benchmark for *aspects* of graphics but I feel it's very limited (although I don't want to take anything away from CryTek. It's an astounding engine, and as a debut even more so).

I like the format you have. I always read the snippets you post, upon which my decision to continue or not is based.

a fourth outing for IO Interactive's Hitman series (rumour is suggesting this could be called Hitman: Blood Money)

A quick whois seems to confirm this Blue...
