Half Life 2 To Appear At E3

MonsieurEvil writes "Valve announced today (http://www.planethalflife.com) that the long-awaited Half-Life 2 will be appearing at E3, and will be released this year. The NDA for press is supposed to end on April 28th, and quite a few magazines are already hyping their scoops. Hopefully all the teen-angst types that show their superiority through decrying this as vaporware can now listen to their elders..."

    Weening off of windows is always a good thing, but would it really hurt to leave a 10gig partition to play windows only games?

    Yes it would, since I'm quite fond of my SGI USB keyboard which GRUB doesn't recognize, and for some reason it simply won't work on a USB->PS/2 adapter. Also, now that I've escaped, going back is fairly abhorent to me, as is the case when one finally escapes from any bad relationship.

    And even if HL2 doesnt support it natively, i'm sure that the gaming version of wine will be able to pick it up within a month or two.

    I'm not sure that will be a significantly less painful solution, at least for the next year ot so, when my system specs might be 2-3x the system requirements for the game.

  12. Macs vs PCs by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I don't know much about Macs, but I've been using computers, apple ii's and of course my prized c64 but I saw a powerbook the other day. With virtualpc it could run windows2000 (fast I might add). I haven't seen a program for linux (yeah i use vmware but it doesn't emulate a g3) or windows that can let me run this new osx thing. Bah. I would like to toy with it, for nothing serious but to just check it out. (Extensively for months.) But not really use it fore any commercial or productive purpose.

    Well. Since that powerbook could run Windows2000 in a window and then all the Mac stuff... lets just say I'm saving up for a Powerbook to promote my ASUSP2B 440BX with 800 megs of ram to fileserver. Heh. Peace beatchez.
