Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Nov 13, 2004 4:45pm PSTWell, if you're hanging around hoping to see Half-Life 2 suddenly unlock... well I would go hit a movie or dinner or something if I were you. Something is certainly up, and VU would be crazy to let people buy the game off shelves for 3 days and not let Valve unlock it... I'm pretty sure this is a first. A hotly anticipated PC game release that everyone can buy and nobody can play. Let's all just hope VU changes their mind because I'm pretty darn sure 99.999% of the people buying Half-Life 2 from BestBuy right now have no idea what is going on or why.

This is a C++ project using template classes (dear god.. why).
Thank you and much love to anyone that can help me figure it out (and yes, everything necessary is included -- I think!)

pay your damn tickets is the key here, they also mention that it had been booted, thats ridiculous, it probably sat on the curb booted for a month, then it was collected, sat for 6 months, then it was sold.

You know what would be the best thing ever?
A Halo 1 multiplayer mode for Live. :X
I miss the old pistol and the old rifle and the old grenade physics and the old feel of the warthog and the old lack of akimbo weapons to turn every fight into a half-second splooging of ammo onto your opponent.
Call me old-fashioned?

Half-Life 2 For Sale?
If you have purchased a copy of Half-Life 2, we are sorry you are still waiting to play. This is not Valve's choice. Vivendi is insisting that the game has not yet been released, and has threatened that Valve would be in violation of its contract if we activate the Half-Life 2 Steam authentication servers at this time.
Thanks for your patience and we will update you when we have more news to share.

Ok, I've never been into MMORPG's like this but I had a key so I figured wth. It's not too bad but I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here?
> No one will talk to me. I ask questions to single players, I get in a group of people and ask questions, no one replies. I think I've gotten two people to reply, neither spoke English as their primary language.
> I'm a night elf warrior. What level do I need to get to before leaving Dumassin (or whatever it's called) to do other stuff.
I've never really played any MMORPG's before and I have a feeling I'm missing some sort of behavior or whatever that's leaving me in the dark.
If anyone here could provide some help that'd be great. Thanks.

a few days back I shackmsg'd sHugamom with a dire request
MORE SHACKSNACKS!!!
She replied in very timely and cordially so we struck a deal. I would give her some expert DDR advice and thejayjay and I would receive our much needed supplies. So I wrote up a bunch of tips and strategies for better play and then I received her reply
"They're on the way"
Thejayjay and I waited by the mail box every day with baited breath. Then on Saturday, the mailman brought us a most wonderful package!

When I play WoW and alt-tab out of it, sometimes my connection in firefox, outlook express etc will not work. I end up only being able to access a couple of sites like yahoo. Shacknews more than not does not work.
Even when I close WoW completely it remains the same and most of the time I have to restart my computer.
Is it my firewall(I'm using zonealarm) or what else could it be?
