How many hours it takes to beat the game is subjective; more so for HL2 with its story-line.
(basically, depending on your speed you may or may not get the full jist of the story)
I did RTFA' but $20 for a "episode"? I don't know about the rest of you folks but $20 does seem to be a bit much. Maybe if it was long enough, say at least 3/4 or 2/3 of HL2.
I mean, HL2 came out about ~2 years ago and they still want $40 for it through Steam (Yeah, I know you could probably get it cheaper elsewhere)
Just who defines "violent" or "pornographic" material? What is "violent" or "pornographic" material?
Frankly, people who are smart will eventually get around it anyway...
The second thing I have noticed, with respect to HTPC's is this: Why the hell don't the frontend software makers realize that MANY of us store our media (movies, tv, music) on network shares. Why is this a big deal? Because I fire up Windows MCE and I find out that, in order to play a movie from the network, it has to copy the movie to my local library first. You can't just play it over the network.
You don't have to move anything (at least for videos) just make a standard Windows shortcut (Right-click in a folder | New Shortcut). The shortcut can use a UNC path, it doesn't matter.
For example I have a lot of anime movies backed up to DVD's (data, not video) and I just made a shortcut to my DVD drive and I can browse around to what I want. I also have a lot of DVD movies ripped to my storage box; if the DVD rip is just the files off of a standard DVD (ex has a VIDEO_TS folder and what not) you can just browse to that folder and MCE will play it using its built in DVD player. Just as if you had the actual disc yourself
The only thing that MCE can't do, is handle MKV and OGM; you can hack around the registry to get them to play but you can't change the subtitles.. I don't know of any Windows MCE clone that does this sadly.

Ultimate Edition has everything. All in all Beta 2 takes about 7 GB... Now for Slashdot: Say what you will
I don't know, but as a fellow /b/-tard I can say this with certainty after looking at the pic
Its a trap, I have seen quite a few in my time :(

I don't know if I should laugh or cry at that....
That is awsome.. a comment that compares computer usage (in this case security) to sex! Yes!
I have most of my anime as AVI,MPEG,OGM/MKV,etc files. I simply placed them on DVDs because at one point I ran nearly ran out of disc space.
