by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 09, 2004 11:36am PDTBecause I'm weak, I did end up buying Half-Life 2 / CS:S yesterday. I wasn't quite ready to drop $71 on Silver, but 19% tax on the $49.95 Bronze package still made it cheaper than a game normally would be here after converting back to Euro. Though I've only played about an hour so far, I'm really impressed with the new CS. All the engine features in the world don't matter unless you have good source art and the textures and such in the game are pretty phenomenal. Movie: It's a shame this happened. Now let's go pray and get shitfaced.

I've noticed a disturbing trend in the content of Maximum PC. I'm a subscriber since the early "Boot" days, and I think the staff writers, reviewers and techno-stiffs are top notch. However, seventy eight pages out of the last 120 page issue was devoted to advertising, and that's just full page adds!! Sure, I understand the concept of bottom line and stuff but seriously...WTF?? Almost 70% of the magazine's content is made up of advertising. A sixteen page spread by 1and1.com? C'mon. Why don't you just sponsor them in their own mag? Maybe if you threw a little more effort into content and diversifying your coverage the subscribership would actually go up and allow you to shoe-horn more useful information into those 120 pages. I get enough shit in my e-mail and snail mail. When I start getting it shoved at me in something I actually pay for, it's time for a change.
Seriously, WTF? Am I an ass for thinking that a subscription magazine with 70-75% adverstising content is a little wacky??

State your pda and how useful you find it, if you find it useful at all. After 6 months of, like, doing almost nothing with a Palm I'm thinking of giving it away on ebay.
Killer apps would be of interest. I suppose the ToDo list is useful. Any PocketPC/Communicator/Treo/Blackberry Menz here?

We all know CS. It can be fun and yet drive you crazy.
Rydogg, this is for you. I present, our fearless CS:S server admin:

Also, there aren't any CS Source bots yet are there?
