Wow, that's a real piece of shit rig you got there.

The compasses are a feature that was going to be added, but was never finished. It was for easy adjustment of Pitch Yaw Roll.
I assume you've got the WON version of Half-Life then. You will need a program like PakExplorer (Google is your friend) to extract the models, much like a ZIP file.

Ok, here's the lowdown on version 3.5.
Yes, this is the final version of Hammer and no, it will never be a final release. Secondly, all these "horror stories" are completely false: I've been using 3.5 since it came out and I've not encountered anything that would indicate that the release is buggy.
3.5 fixes bugs from 3.4 and also adds model support, which is extremly useful when mapping. I suggest you try it out (you'll need the updated FGD for whatever game you're mapping for. You'll also need to extract the models from the PAK/GCF file).

Erm, 31kbps? That's not right.
I have 33k people and I've downloaded all the Steam games before, but there's narry a peep out of me. Yes, 33k - a max download speed of 3kbps.

No prob. 
Those things are dangerous. Emu's, that is.
Hehe, I remember those conspiracy threads...funny.
Go down to the bottom and there's a switch on one of the consoles. Its sorta at the center, at the bottom (if that makes sense). That'll open a door for you.
Tally Hall - Ruler of Everything
Yeah, the scale seems a little odd to me too.
Nice skins.
Yes, and that was ages ago. The case was settled and, as such, Vivendi are no longer VALVe's retail distributor. EA is currently the distributor, and have been for a little while now.
The Rock of Travolta - Clique Rock
Yeah, EB don't know what the fuck they're talking about half the time. They should get some knowledgable people in there to run the stores, people who actually keep up with what's happenin' in the gaming world (like me 
).
).Hahaha WCD. You got pwned on that discussion.
Ah, memories. It will be my third year here come October, and boy, what a 3 years it has been. I cam as a noob, and now I'm a moderator here, and an operator on #twhl.
I still recall the week that contained the biggest controversy TWHL ever fac ed: the hack. Boy, there were some heated IRC arguements against jaardsi and m0p (helped by me): I remember Andy going totally berserk at them, as well as the rumour that went around that Atom was going to shutdown the site. Good times...
I also remember the time when TWHL was still relatively small, and all the members that have since moved on. T'was a very different TWHL to the one most of you know today, but I'm sure Alex, ZombieLoffe and the others will know what I'm talking about.

They're pretty easy to get...
I saw the EA box for HL2 in my local Target store. Search harder.

I dislike anyone that hides behind a mask, figure out who you are and enjoy it.For your first bit: who cares, its their life for crying out loud. As for the second bit: who cares??!
Quick question: Why do some goths make their faces white and eyes/lips black??
Seriously, if this thread gets any more convoluted, I'm gonna close it, because its annoying the crap out of me for some reason.
The favourites is a little buggy, but I assume it will get fixed when the new friends thing gets released.
How long do you wait by the way?
The Thermals - Goddamn The Light
Yeah, sorry guys. I've taken over doing the write-ups for this compo (which are done), I just need to get some screenies. I'll do it sometime today... cough
Rabid: For the second question, he's asking how to reduce the effect of the push that props give when standing on them. You know how physics props prevent you from standing on them? I think, judging from what he's saying is that he's somehow set that effect in-game to be extreme and its throwing him off.

Scrubs - His Story II [Season 3 DVD]
I suppose you might have an advantage, yes.
As for the 90 degreeness of the map, I'm actually not too sure what you mean. Keep in mind that this isn't Venice as such, its merely inspired somewhat by it. As for Venetia...thank ZombieLoffe for that. Heck, I should know these things...
Ah well, Venetia sounds cool.

Which, incidently, matched up mostly to what I've been saying.
Listen to Crichton's advice, Elon.

Heck no. Too much clutter. I've got things mapped to my multimedia keyboard, including Winamp controls. I hate a cluttered computer.
America - Ventura Highway
T'was good. Didn't blow me away, but it was good nonetheless.
/me wonders if Habboi saw the request for beta testers
Yeah. HDR simulates the iris effect when walking into areas of varying brightness. In a dark area, your eye's iris will open to let in more light. This also works vice versa (i.e. the iris will close in areas of light).
In-game, this combines with bloom to produce areas of extreme brightness which gets adjusted according to what you see. Its a pretty cool effect that actually influences gameplay - sometimes you can't see if there's an enemy ahead because its too bright, so you have to wait a few seconds for the iris to adjust.

Depending on what you do, obviously.
DDR2 will be superseded by DDR3 anyway. GFX cards have supported it for a while.

1 gig is the mimimum for any computer if you want something SUSTAINABLE. You seem to be missing the key word here. Why buy some piece of crap PC with shitty specs because its cheap if it'll last you a month before slowing down?
I'd also like to find out just how smooth BF2 is on medium. 15fps isn't exactly smooth.
Besides, the 6600GT is cheap. Around $200-$300 here, which is a good price for a decent card.
I have 512mb of RAM and a P4 1.5ghz on a 6600GT and HL2 runs like a disabled donkey. Keep in mind that Elon wants it for ANIMATION PROGRAMS, which tend to suck juice REALLY quickly.

Yeah, don't listen to Crystalman for a start. 
Go for the slowly become low range cards - something like the 6600GT which is a good, dependable card. Or you can go the ATi equivalent, which is, as I recall, the x800.
The 6600GT supports shader model 3, but some people have noticed that its implementation in nVidia based cards is overly fake - personal preference in my opinion. I suggest the 6600GT because it has shader model 3 - it may be a little more sustainable than the x800 (which doesn't have it, only the high end ATi cards have it).
As for the RAM: 1 gig is the minimum, no questions asked. 256 is simply ludicrous, and 512 is laughable. m0p is right. And yes, you are gonna have to spend some cash, unless you're really hanging out for a piece of shit computer. Your choice.

Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench (Live) [Everywhere But Home DVD]
Thanks for the feedback everyone, it keeps me going!
As for the HDR: its extremly hard to capture in a screenshot. At some times it looks too bright, at some times it looks perfect. You really have to play it with it on to gauge for yourself. During last nights beta test, I don't think anyone had any concerns with the HDR (I felt that it made it look better actually).
Thanks to ZombieLoffe for hosting last nights match and providing feedback (as well as some slick screenies). I'd also like to thank Jax, Ansith and some other dude who joined the server to test.

Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
Internal Beta 5 will be up soon. This version includes a Navigation mesh! If you want to do your own testing of it, please reply. Otherwise, I'm just getting my usual batch of beta testers.
Seconded.
Of course you need a gig! Heavy and advanced animation programs specifically need more RAM!
Besides, if you ever wanted to do an OS upgrade in the near future to Vista, then you're gonna need at least a gig, if not two or more.

The graphics cards on Computer 2 really suck. Heck, I'm running a 6600GT on my piece of crap rig right now!
You'll want Dual Core for a start - more power on the CPU. 512mb is definately not enough RAM either - 1 gig is the MIMINUM these days. Make sure the motherboard supports PCI-E 16x, which is the connection you'll need for a decent graphics card.
