Sound catagory Doom3 wins because of it's full support for 5.1 and 6.1 sound. HL2 does not. Therefor it wins :p

In Doom3 I've actually shot a zombie in the head and hit a wall behind it and slump to it's butt, that kind of event simply isn't possible in HL2.

As to normal mapping, the technique was developed by Id software, so it's a wonder that theres is the best around.

had a blast w/ you guys 2-nite , some of the new maps are a little laggy tho ( noticed a decrease in ping on the official map )....gasworks ! , that bought back some memories of 1999 (seems like forever ago ) ...i'd like to see a Ravenholm map ( graveyard ect,,,)

The server is on the west coast(PST), WarPig. I ping around 180-200 from EST and it's not terrible.

It's a bad sign when you need an eating helmet.

Joe said to me once, when he just started hooking up with Marie, that “this can only end badly”. He doesn’t have time for a Camaro right now. Good lick bidding.

THATS IT, YOU ARE FIRED

Remember the '80s? When economy cars began appearing on the scene?

You know, maybe I'm a sick individual but in a way I'm just hoping for some kind of global ecological disaster/episode. Because that is what it's going to take to break people out of the stupor they've been living in for the past 25 years.

And if it was real I guess I've got to give the guy credit for finishing; although running away sobbing couldn't have been that much worse, at least it would've shortened the experience.

Holy Hell, I haven't seen a run-on sentence that long in years. Have you EVER heard of a period?

Though, come next Tuesday I am going to start being soo soo damn busy weekdays (except for Friday) that I might not be posting at all M-TH for ~3 months.

Allow me to speak directly to the bad guys for a moment: When you get banned, know that we know and have records showing you were doing something that’s a violation of terms of service, breaks your EULA, and also happens to be against the law. We know who you are, and can track down where you play from. We have incontrovertible proof you did something illegal. The Army is angry, and we’re coming for you.

Not a bad price. I should get one so that I have a MAC. Should know them more than I currently do.

That's exactly what I'm thinkin...

You Americans have too many straight lines in your country, ergo I only got 74 %. If you look at a map of Europe, you can see a rather large cock on the map, a pigs head, a boot, a St Bernard and various other amusing shapes, which all act as good memory prompts when you are colouring in countries in a geography class.

I don't know if I can deal with this. I've been a goop spreader my whole life.....

Heat sinks operate by conducting heat from the processor to the heat sink and then radiating it to the air. The better the transfer of heat between the two surfaces (the CPU and the heat sink metal) the better the cooling.

You should apply a very thin (paper thin) layer on the heatsink with your finger before installing it. Don't use too much - the thinner the layer, the better. But make sure that the entire contact area between CPU and heatsink is covered; otherwise hot-spots can form.
