by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 24, 2004 6:37am PSTGetting close to finishing Halo 2, and I'm getting pretty annoyed with how repetitive the level design has become. Outside areas are still pretty nice but inside..meh. Also on FileShack

http://del.icio.us/ - basic idea is to have a place to put all your bookmarks on the web.. you see a cool like, you can store it here, and then get to it later... ahh but it gets better....
http://delicious.mozdev.org/ - this allows you to right click and use the comment to dump stuff right to the del.icio.us website fill in a quick description, and done...
Looks like this: http://uploader.stonedonkey.com/uploads/addlink.jpg

If you goto your personal del.icio.us homepage, you can add the RSS feed to your Firefox bookmarks, then for extra bonus points add it to your Links bar for quick access.

Basically its in their eula. Instead of a cybercafe buying a copy of HL2 and installing it, they have to pay $10 a month and offer the whole library of steam garbage. I was talking to a friend of mine who runs a cybercafe and he told me about this. Why EAvalve why? :( :(

At one point in the game I saw combine soldiers shooting at zombies - does this mean that the headcrabs etc are a completly seperate entity to the combine, and they have both slipped through down to earth? How are the two linked?

How long did it take you to get used to the controls? I've always been a PC guy, and this is my first console FPS. Right now, the dual joystick control mode feels a little unwieldly. I can't hit shit :(
Will it become second-nature eventually? :/

10. Yankees Hire George as Assistant to the Traveling Secretary
"The Opposite," Season 5, Episode 22, May 19, 1994
Mr. Steinbrenner: Nice to meet you.
George: Well, I wish I could say the same, but I must say, with all due respect, I find it very hard to see the logic behind some of the moves you have made with this fine organization. In the past 20 years you have caused myself, and the city of New York, a good deal of distress, as we have watched you take our beloved Yankees and reduce them to a laughing stock, all for the glorification of your massive ego!
Mr. Steinbrenner: Hire this man!

Finally available in the US for the affordable price of $10. Most places either don't have it at all (Gamestop...go figure) or only got 1 or 2 copies per store at most (EBGames). Not sure how the localization turned out but I'll know soon enough. Of the 5 ports of the game available (GC/Xbox/PS2/DC/PC), it was reported that the PS2 version is the worst, but it's better than nothing :(
Let's just hope it didn't get hacked all to hell like Shikigami no Shiro and Gunbird did (Mobile Light Force 2 and 1). At least they dropped the fucking title and coverart.
Hey, maybe they didn't name the characters after members of the dev team this time. And maybe they didn't have whitetrash from ohio do the voice overs.

Among the RIAA's new allies, the American Conservative Family Organization (better known by the acronym EMBP) is in the news for putting together a public service spot starring Britney Spears, in which a tearful Spears watches news reports of teenagers going on murderous rampages after illicitly downloading her songs.
Among the allies of P2P rights defenders are file-sharing proponent Michael Moore, whose upcoming documentary "Download THIS!" features the sobbing parents of high school students wasting away in prison for sharing KISS cover songs recorded by a neighborhood band in their garage.

Does anyone have a spare OLD video card they would like to lend to a shacker? I need it for a second rig and the card I have now on it is REALLY old and the voltages don't match up to what's required in the rig's mobo.
Anything will do as it just needs to be 1.5V(i think) and it doesn't matter if it's PCI or AGP. Can anyone help out a shacker here? I'd ofcourse pay for the shipping. THX
sorry i'm asking again, today will be the last day

REVIEW IN REPLY!

I'm sick of HL2. Sick of Doom 3. Sick of GTA 5. The only electronic playtoy I enjoy these days is Quake + kqp (killer quake pack) + tenebrae (engine for quake that looks like doom 3) running at 1600x1200. I have played KQP for Quake for 5 years and never get bored. I play HL2 for 5 days have become bored. I think that the more open ended a game is, the longer it lasts. For all you young shackers, I recommend dling KQP or wyrm2beta, which are more fun than the stuff you play today, from a certain point of view.

Beat the game last week and had major hard drive problems so i backed it up with the Steam utility. Would anyone who beat the game be cool enough to post their endgame save file, mine was lost somewhere in the backup. I don't want to have to start over to get to the Ravenholm section.
Thanks

It's really informative, much more so than the original/canonical GOF Design Patterns book.
Design patterns are cool.
