New Half-Life 2 SP Map, Powerstation 17!

Can I say, as a moderate who leans left, that I don't like Harry Reid? Because I hate him. I'm not fond of Howard Dean either. I think he's an idiot.

We'll see how that pans out. I know that McCain has spent a couple million, hoping that it will become the swift boat issue of the campaign. I think it may become an issue if it is played right, but it is a trump card that campaign is holding onto for now. The truth is that Chicago has a long histor...

He was not a mayor or a governor, which is what I presume is meant by leadership experience since we are comparing him to Palin. Obama's record is quite transparent and has been told countless times in every form of media. He came out of Columbia University. With a degree like that, he could have ha...

I don't think the proper Half-Life 3 would necessarily need a new engine. One of the selling points of the Source Engine is that it is an iterative process. The engine has been upgraded since Half-Life 2, with better support for large areas, cinematic physics, HDR and bloom, postprocess effects and ...

In case you failed to notice, a very small subset of PC gamers have Crysis. The vast majority of PCs cannot run Crysis. You need to understand your target audience better. If Descent is your goal, your target audience is more happy playing on D2X or DXX-Rebirth than on any current engine. If you wan...
