Quake 1 wrote the book on mapping, is it any surprise there were problems?
When it comes to deathmatch though DM2,DM3,Dm4,DM5,DM6 E1m2? All great and many more were also excellent.
The singal player was in the generation of find the key, but there were also scripted sequences, the action was simply to fast to appreciate them, like the part where you go up the elevator and get attacked by the two evicerators? Awsome, and the part where you get attacked from both sides by the two little death knights also cool.
I get laughed at by clan members but this sucker runs quite well thank you. Really I couldn't be happier with valve for not wasting resources on useless eye candy. The game looks as good as it needs to in order to have immersion in this day and age, the descision to go with increased physics as opposed to dynamic lighting ala doom 3 was also a good one in my opinion since those crazy GPU manufacturer's decided that $350 was a decent price for a midrange vid-card.
Perhaps a terrible pun but apt in this case I think.
It would have been nice if valve had promised to release some form of patch if Steam was ever to go down but c'est la vie, I'm sure I can find one elsewhere.

Perhaps the problem is with the title, as a pirate he doesn't own it.
Actually I can distribute more music than the total CD sales of the RIAA in a year in less than a week.
Why is someone with no legal obligation the best to do this? Well if the RIAA wanted to get a distributable copy of every song they would need to liscence them all, all this guy needs to do is download it and share. Which is an interesting point in that the technical problems associated with doing this are miniscule compared to the legal problems associated with doing it, well legally.
So quite likely if he was trying to share it he would be the "easiest" way of getting access to any song.
Wow if only someone had thought to have an indefinite patent on fire. Wow that would really have been great for society!
Many idea's being created today are simply the most efficient way of doing things, if I patented 1+1=2 would you complain? Why should a computer program which does something in the most efficient manner be any diffrent?
America is trying to hold onto their old accomplishments by patenting the hell out of their old technologies and extending those patent's indefinitly, but I can't imagine other nations are going to stand for it much longer.

Knew that, wanted a totally working drive. Thought freezing it might cause some form of expansion which might affect the read write heads.
Or possibly knock the allignment of the various boot partitions.
Long shot but nothing ventured after all.

I am about to try this. If you were messing with me I guess no harm cuz the drives already borked but I'll keep you posted!
The first nuke was only useful against one city, but they built countless more. This will also be massively destroyed.
If you think that Afghanistan, North-Korea, Iraq, and other nations don't feel threatened by the possibility of Nuclear Annihilation. America is just trying to expand that fear to include other developed countries.
Looks like America's forray into social darwinism is slowly winding down.
There hasn't been an attack because the threat of nuclear annihilation forced every war to be a COLD war.
But now america can threaten other nations with Nukes as much as they want! They have total defensive superiority!
I imagine the other countries could unite and have a ring of anti missile defense set up around U.S. Soil pretty quick but who wants another arms race? The American's that's who?
I guess that's why they never honour any treaties, what's the point if they can just NUKE everyone with NO HOPE of reprisals.
You're assuming journalists think people are stupid. I think if you are sufficiently intelligent and surround by other's of a similar vein it becomes hard to identify with ignorance and stupidity.
Journalists try to grab your attention, this works on a totally diffrent part of the mind than intelligence appealing directly to self preservation.
So they really aren't just appealing to the intelligent or stupid. But the intelligent mind is able to filter a lot of garbage so they have to hide it as well as they can to sell.
Maybe they just don't understand how much they are hurting their stupid viewers/readers.

Um Vivendi will still get their slice. You clearly don't understand their concern!
They will get part of this HL release Valve was under contract for this game.
They are just worried that other developers will follow valve's lead.

My University had a CS server running on the network.
There were stats and it got really competetive.
Some people were totally manic about it, we did a corolation between high scorers and people who failed their courses, it was ugly.
Anyway I consistently had the highest games won average and kill/death (and kpm which shows I'm not a camper!)ratio but could never seem to reach #1.
There were roomates who would put one computer on as idle and the other one would just shoot him in the head for a while till other people joined.
By the end of the semester someone broke 5000 kills.
It was pretty unifying, but I think it might have discouraged new players.
It was good at forcing people to consistently use names which helped to keep names and faces lined up.
I have a palm pilot and I am really hurting to run skype!
I know you probably have a cell phone but it would be pretty awsome. And you can make outgoing calls without worrying about incomming ones.
You need Mic, audio, decent processor, and wifi but if you bought a nice new pocketPC then you should have all of that.
There is some tunneling software you can still use. Not too easy but works.
