Nice to see Valve deliver on a promise with that HL2DM update showing up on time. Too bad I still can't play it though, as my copy randomly stopped working about a week ago. Everytime I join a server and it's nearly completed loading, the game just stalls. I click the Options screen, and the game just locks. I have deleted all the GCF files and forced Steam to download them again, I have forced Steam to verify the files, I deleted the actual hl2dm/hl2 dirs but no dice. When I have the console open the last thing I see before it locks is "missing vgui material - vgui/gfx/vgui/crosshair". Unfortunately Valve's Steam tech support section is of little help. Sad panda. Update: Fixed! Had nothing to do with that particular missing vgui material message, instead it was sound related. One of my sound settings in Windows was set to Record through TotalRecorder, and that bugged out the Source engine. I hadn't really thought of looking for that until Erik at Valve suggested I run with -nosound, which made the problem go away. Now I have some crowbar skull bashing to do. Also on FileShack

The Moment of Silence US demo - renewed opportunity to try out this adventure game.
ER trailer - yes they're making a game based on the TV show.
The Sims 2: University trailer - more gameplay footage from the Sims 2 expansion pack.

"suicide" slamming
or: how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb

by pup

last night's update of half-life 2 deathmatch added a few new weapons and a new map. my favorite of these new additions is a weapon called the S.L.A.M. that's an acronym, but i forgot what it acronymizes.

basically, the slam is a combination of the satchel charge and the trip mine from the original half-life. it looks like a speaker, but looks don't really matter here. what matters is how you use it.

there are two ways to use the slam. the first way is similar to the satchel charge from the first half-life. you toss out the charge with primary fire, then use secondary fire to blow it up at your leisure. you can drop as many of them as you want, and they will all blow up when you hit the trigger. when armed, the slams emit a bright red light. this means you have to be a little sneaky with your placement, because the light is easy to spot and therefore easy avoid.

the second way to use the slam is identical to the trip mines from the half-life. if you face a wall or an object within arm's reach and press primary fire, the slam will adhere to the surface. after giving you a second to get out of the way, the slam will then emit a red trip laser. if the laser is crossed, the slam blows up. i don't think the laser is range-limited, but of course, if the slam is all the way across a large room, and you trip the laser on the other side, the blast won't be anywhere near you. just like the original half-life, when a slam is set up as a trip line, you can blow it up by shooting it.

i don't know if you can detonate an armed slam on the ground by shooting it. i forgot to try that out.

with the formalities out of the way, we can now get to the meat of the technique i like to call "suicide" slamming.

"suicide" slamming relies on three things. the gravity gun, a lack of friendly fire, and teamwork. you may see where this is going.

the basic technique is for one person (hereby referred to as the "trigger") to toss a slam on the ground, then have a teammate (hereby referred to as the "bomber") pick it up with the gravity gun. the bomber then runs around, looking for a helpless victim, while the trigger follows him. the bomber runs up to an enemy, and the trigger to hit the switch. boom. provided the server has friendly fire is turned off, the victim is toast, the bomber is unharmed, and the trigger tosses out another slam for the bomber to pick up.

it's so fucking funny.

this method requires the trigger to be in close proximity to the bomber in order to know when to detonate the bomb. however, your own slam will hurt you, so the trigger has to be careful not to be caught within the blast radius. voice comm works well for trigger and bomber coordination.

alternate untested variations of this technique:
- "the crimson wave" - multiple bombers with one trigger. probably difficult to maximize damage.
- "nolan ryan jihad" - the bomber could throw the slam with the gravity gun. probably difficult to time properly.

the bomber and the trigger are basically defenseless while doing this. the only reason it worked so well last night was because we were playing melee weapons and slams only. don't expect to ever win a game with this technique, or even have a respectable score. but jesus christ it's funny.

The comments text is properly sized, but it all overlaps. The article text must be using a bitmap font or absolute sizing or something, because I can't read it at all, it is so tiny. And the text in this reply box is making my eyes water.

Techie question. How do wireless networks handle traffic? Routers and switches push stuff down the right pipes in cable land, but if a wireless router has to serve, say, ten systems, does it just dish it out whenever it gets a chance? Is there a fixed frequency range for the connection, or does each client get it's own little band? (I assume the former since you can select a channel number, but I always thought that was in case you live next door to a tesla coil or something and you get mondo noise.)

I'm inclined to think that it's kind of like a hub in that everybody gets a copy of everything but everyone knows what he's looking for and just throws the rest away. Simple but inefficient as the client count goes up. What's the real scoop?

Anybody read ultimate X-men Ive been trying to read it but just can't get going(got through first three pages of issue 3) it feels more like the wolverine show rather then the X-men.
