@Skals. I don't condone live feeding full stop. The argument owners give that "it's natural" is so fucking transparent when they are keeping the thing in a fucking glass tank. (no pun intended)

I used Opera for a couple of years until I started working for QWS. Then I switched to Firefox because of it's web designer features. I recently switched to Chrome at home but now I'm back with FF again.
What can I say, it just seems to work best for me and as PB said, it works the way you want it to regarding add-ons. Even that image explains it.
"Fairly well-rounded but nearly unusable because of all its stupid add-ons."
Just remove or disable any add-ons you don't actually need and it runs a treat.

Blue Shift was certainly the shortest and weakest of the 3 official releases by Valve/Gearbox, but as strider said, the mapping was brilliant down to the finest details. The last section in the old abandoned lab complex was quite impressive.
That said, I owned Blue Shift from day 1 and I got my steam version free by plugging in the CD-Key (Which also got me DMC, Ricochet, Half-Life, Opposing Force and Team Fortress.)
Back in the day, I only really got it after seeing the HD models in a trailer.

It suffers for being a console based shooter. A lot of people complain about it's texture bug. When spinning around quickly enough it can take a moment to raise the LOD for what your looking at.
That said, I've only played around 30 minutes of it so far. Unlike a few people at work who thought it was an open world game, I knew what to expect from id software. Corridor shooters. PCGamer hit the nail on the head.

The whole thing needs replacing anyway. It's old and cheap and most of the characters have rubbed off. I'll try soaking it but considering i already wiped the whole thing down inside I'm not sure what good it will do.

lol'd like an idiot.
Anyuay, thiz iz actually a ztep foruard compared to earlier. Couldn't even log into uindouz becauze a bunch of the keyz uere zticking. I'd prezz 'K' and I'd get 'KIJLM.' Pretty hard uhen entering a pazzuord. Opened her up and cleaned a feu bitz and piecez but unfortunately to no avail. Glad it only cozt £7. I'll be getting a neu one at the ueekend and making my dezk a cat free zone... actually, might juzt be eazier to keep liquidz off the dezk.
Hmmm, lookz like pipe and capzlock are buggered too. :rly:

Haha. Yeah. Been caught out by DST one too many times. Once my PC clock changed itself and for some reason or other I assumed it was wrong. Long story short I turned up at work an hour early. Lucky it wasn't the opposite way around I guess.

@brendanmint, this is realistic difficulty. Enemies are ridiculously accurate sometimes, able to headshot you through cover as seen in the last few sections of the video. But yeah, i still suck, but the game is shite so I don't really care.

You know when people say "School / College years are the best of your life" ? I never used to believe that and I hated it. Thing is, it was 100% true. Working and being responsible has it's perks but life was so much easier back then.
Of course, I'm speaking from an underpaid web designer's point of view. I'm sure life rocks if you're loaded / famous, and I'm yet to experience having kids and retiring.

Jesus! £2100!?
Fair enough my PC cost me a total of £2500 but the RAM, GPU and HDD space are literally quadruple what you've got there! (Actually with RAM I got 6 times more.)
I'm no hardware buff either, but I went to pcspecialist.co.uk and had them build it for me :P.
Anyway, does the random freezing occur while actively working on something or gaming or does it occur even if the PC is idling in Windows or on Standby / Power saving mode?

They were told the days were non compulsory, I've been told jack and I need all the money I can get.
Bored.
Worked fine for me but I've been working with Spirit for as long as I can remember so I already had the files.
Mind you, having played through it and then checked the files afterwards, I have no fucking idea how it works.
Texturing — 9
Ambience — 6
Lighting — 8
Gameplay — 8
Bottom Line:
It's astonishingly detailed, but at the end of the day I just can't understand why CS 1.6 was the game of choice for this map.What can I say, it just seems to work best for me and as PB said, it works the way you want it to regarding add-ons. Even that image explains it.

@JeffMOD: Nice! Pre-ordered it myself with my birthday money yesterday. BF3 too.

BF3 is on my wishlist regardless of it's flaws at the moment. Time will tell if this is a wise decision.

Also @JeffMOD. "Soon" in Valve time can mean up to 8 years from now.
"I hate Mondays, but today has been awesome!"
Also @Crollo, uncalled for much?
"I don't talk like that..."
I'd be willing to pick up MOTM again.
@Dimbark: My bad, I b0rked the link. Still, it's time to start using a proper browser. Get Firefox.

BOTTOM LINE:
It's a very good CS 1.6 map and is good fun to play with a few friends.On Topic: That is pretty nerdy and pretty awesome. ^_^
Heh. PCSpecialist.co.uk is advertised constantly in Mags like PCGamer (twice) and on sites such as play.com.
Oh well, enjoy your Dell I guess
(Also yeah, I missed the x4. I have 12GB of RAM, not 48 :P)

The final chapters are infuriating.
