Does anyone know the best way to complain about the buggy server browser? I thought about posting in the EA tech support, but I figured it would be a waste:
Problem: Yeah, your server browser blows! Who ever created that should be dragged out into the street and shot.
Yeah. That wouldn't work

They used to have these at the mall arcade. I remember they were like $12 for 5 min. Thought it was cool at the time (when I was 10), but I also remember a raging headache afterward. I guess staring at something that is 2 inches infront of you might do that.
The only problem I've ever had with offline mode is that it takes friggin forever before the game starts. Usually steam starts right away, but if you're disconnected, it will sit there for a good 1 - 2 min "phoning home" before it gives up. After it asks if you want to play in offline mode or quit. Then it all worked the same.
I experienced the same thing with my Microsoft keyboard. I finally got rid of it and got a cheap Memorex Spill-Proof Keyboard which I really like -- best $14 I spent. The action is good, and it's spill-proof to prevent those unfortunate coffee spills.
I second the memorex keyboard. I saw a pallet of these at compusa (when I still ventured there) and bought like 5 of them. A great keyboard, although I havn't tested the "spillproof" design yet, but in looking at it you could probably spill a couple ounces without harming it. And at only $15 bucks, it was worthy indeed.
Blue, all I can say is, what did the picture on the outside of the box look like?
But why - in the event of their demise - wouldn't Valve simply release a patch to enable regular-old-no-Steam-needed gameplay? If they're gonna close shop and the game is to become abandonware anyway, why would they care about the Steam authentication anymore? Seems to me like they'd just make one final patch that turns it on permanently.
I'm sure when Valve does go down (eventually. Maybe 20 years or so) Gabe will push that big red button under his desk that unlocks HL2 from steam (which they already have, btw), and detonates that nuclear reactor they have under their building.
Looks to me like that would be an easy way to pirate the game.
My thoughts exactly
Well HL2 looks like the same old run and gun fps. Bloodlines is an RPG. My gaming preferences have matured and I've become sick of the same old run and gun therefore I think Bloodlines will be better.
I agree with you, although I don't believe HL2 will simply be "same old run and gun" like another well hyped game *cough*doom3*cough. HL2 to me seems more like "solve puzzles, run, gun, solve puzzles, etc" where the puzzles are completely unique (ie: physics puzzles... never really used extensively before) I am planning on buying bloodlines also, simply for the fact that it looks like a good game.
Here I thought Bloodlines *had* to come out after HL2... Maybe if you buy both they have to scan HL2 first...
Ahh, what the hell. I'll buy both.

yah thought so. it was worth the try. 300 was good, no?

Made one all the way back in sept 2001!!!!! The funny thing is that he calls it the "Playstation Portable" or PSp for short. Rather Ironic.
The funny thing is that Blue called it the "First Handheld PSone" when I believe a long time ago I found this PSp (ha! can't get over it) on Blues News...

Maybe 3D Realms is traveling backwards in time? I remember several years ago seeing several screenshots and such of a game almost done. Now they are saying they are not even close...
from what I've read even if you don't buy an expansion a friend can still invite you to an expansion mission/land and you can still play together.
I don't think thats right. This is what I got off a Gamespot interview with the designer
Strain made it clear that they will not punish you if you don't purchase it and your friends do; you'll still be able to play with them, though you won't be able to experience the new content. But they're certainly hoping players will choose to pay in order to continue the story.
See, you won't be able to play the new content, but they'll still be able to play the old.
Now, 750,000 players use Xbox Live
Last time I checked, arn't there more players *just* playing some version of Half life online (cs, tfc, etc...)
I also thought that the comparison was rather weak... MMORPG make up like what, 20% of online play? I'd be curious to know what the *real* figures are......
Thats a wierd ebay bid... Unless the reserve was 15000, and for shits and giggles they bid more just so they wouldn't get outbid... It doesn't make any sense. I don't believe it.
All I can say is that I thought the movie was awsome. Very Japanese, which I have an appretiation for. Every one who liked Kill Bill will (I hope) like this movie. I liked it better than the second matrix movie.
My friend put it best when he said, "And here I wanted a Star Wars ending." Sorry, no dancing sing-a-long for this ending. I thought it was wrapped up nicely :-P

Drannok > Strait up.
Greatest action sequence I've ever seen; with all the "fodder". I was also glad that the Japanese was pronouced correctly. I hate faker movies.
I was pleasently surprised
