TV Piracy is Next

For example:
I'm living in Germany and I don`t have any opportunity to watch the series in the original language. You probably won't understand how horrible it is to watch a translated comedy-show compared to the original one. Wordplays: gone. The quality of the series itself is simply not the same.
Another thing is that we have to wait for a long time until the new series from the U.S. are translated and running on TV here.
(for example: The last season of "Sex and the City" is still running here. Or "Scrubs": Season 4 runing in the US - still waiting for Season 3 to start in Germany.)
I'm sorry for being unable to support my favourite series in the US by watching the channels they are running on, but i simply don't have an other chance to do that.
You can't play HL2 without Steam (at least not with a legal, non-cracked/non-patched version).
I heard there are so called "no-steam"-cracks out there on the web, but I don't know whether they work or they are just trojans;)
The developers just wanted to keep the end open to continue the sequel in a few years.
Hopefully they don't need as much time for HL3 as they did for HL2...

Review: Half-Life 2

· Score: 5, Informative
Just FYI:
Half-Life Source (aka Half-Life 1 using the new engine) is not automatically included in every version of Half-Life 2.
You need to get at least the "Silver" Edition from steampowered.com to get HL-Source. It is not included in the boxed version.
See http://www.steampowered.com/
Seems like there is a little delay, but everything is fine:
So what's up with the ad?
Rob Davis and I are managing the production of the ad and making sure that it gets done to our exacting standards. It's painstaking work, but we are committed to getting the ad in print sometime in early to mid-December. We've got a good deal of the design and thinking behind it worked out, so expect a preview sometime next week (we can't wait either)! Of course, embarking on this kind of design project is no easy task. Frankly, we need some help (what, you thought you could donate and leave the hard work up to someone else?!). So here's what I need and here's how we're gunna do this:

And I've been trying to figure out for years what they are for...
Thanks for adding this - sorry i forgot to mention it. I just wanted to point out that Half-Life Source does not come with the "normal" boxed-version.
