i dont believe it. has valve actually listened to the complaints of the public!?!?!
i dont really mind, but it would be nice to hide demos or something like that, i'm sure as steam gets more and more games and demos, steam will get that kind of option...
i mostly agree with Ant's crazy rant above, except that i have heard that the da vinci code (not having read it myself) is not 'crappily written', but is actually very good, this coming from people who couldn't give a flying fuck about religion. (although the "OMG I R RELIGIOUS AND I R BAN TISH BOOK!" is the worst)
also, nothing valve can do can stop me liking steam. it has a good file system, it provides updates more regularly than patches would, it allows new content to be injected into a game, it ensures all clients are using the same version, and it allows valve to release media more redily and episodic content, it also allows small-time companies like Introversion, Tripwire and Ritual to release software at low cost, universal multi-language support, and ffs, they are selling plush headcrabs!
in summary: STFU and get over it, wow a few extra games in the list, if you dont like it, use the compressed window and collapse the 'not installed' list.

i mostly use fraps for screenshots and fps display.
fraps is better for this and also client-based videos
for server vids (i.e. recording a networked game from a spectator's view on an unused computer) gamecam is best.

Me:
hugh has a large shlong
God:
He's wealthy, right?
Me:
yes
God:
I see.
Me:
and his shlong is large.
God:
Where did he get it?
Me:
you gave it to him
God:
I didn't have it to give.
Me:
yea, there's no chance that your shlong is as large as Hugh's
God:
Why not? Aw.

its strange that some games with the 'dirty' look textures are said to be 'realistic' even though games with boring levels like fear are more accurate
although maybe its a good thing, fear is damn boring.

combine harvester is the title of one of the hl2 musicks
could always emulate it
YAY!
but....i cant say i didnt expect these exact results
anyways, good work dew, kas & trapt!

If I had a choice I'd make it so you had to remake any level from any N64 game ;D It's be fun.That an awsome idea!...but not specific enough
wewt upgrades ftw!
well hl2 was sponsored by ati so i spose they used ati cards...i dont think that they would do that on purpose, they just didnt optimize for nvidia...
or maybe its bcus the FX series suck?

i'm thinking of a widescreen lcd for my workhorse (this compy) when i upgrade and this crt for my gaming one, because
1. crts are better for gaming
2. i'm not getting 2 LCD monitors (i r cheap)
3. widescreen for daily use - dvds, apps, etc - i'll see if i can get hammer running on the widescreen and network it over to the other comp for testing....or something
4. some games have difficulty with widescreen
5. crts are more trustworthy at LANs, yes they are heavy shit, but you can drop it and it is still fine
and i heard lcds running games constantly start to overheat considerably.
anyway, long story short, i want to know what happens with older games on widescreen. does it stretch, or have vertical black strips? is there a way to temporarily put the ratio to 4:3 to play older games?

can't the next compo start before the results are in?
i wouldnt mind a 2 week stagger of compos:
0 weeks - hl1 comp starts
2 weeks - source comp starts
4 weeks - hl1 comp ends
6 weeks - source comp ends
2 week break
8 weeks - revert to 0
that way people have plenty of time even to do both, with 2 weeks by itself and 2 weeks both compos, 2 weeks for results to be posted and start again...
that way we can always have 2 compos every 2 months...
as for tutorials...you just need more tutorial mods...

)1 day over 5 months for one of mine

yhey.

i'm sure capable people can mark up their own tutorials, it wouldnt be that hard, and a mod could review the code and fix errors here and there....or something...

YOU ALL LOSE....

actually textures for hl2 are easier (until you get into normals and crap)
yeah, compared to the colour photos we have of the 'real' jesus.

This nice little program is great for previewing maps without starting the game (hl1 or 2).
It even previews the lightmaps!
(for WON installations of hl1, use his BSPviewer from the same site, crafty is useable for WON installs, but is much more compatible with steam)

in a month you:
a) collect a lot of random little files surfing
b) download lots
c) make a lot of files yourself
1.5 GB is not much at all these days.
this is not a hacking problem.
my advice:
delete some random stuff that you dont need.
do a disk cleanup
reduce the size of the pagefile
zip long-term files
burn underused files to disk
get a new hard drive
also, a program called SpaceMonger that shows what ratio of files are where, in a nice graphical display.

interesting comments on the logos and such.
or you could go run -> type:
control userpasswords2
and uncheck the 'users must type name and password etc etc'

yhey, spamerific.
not many people are going to look for sites they never visit for a compo they dont really care about without even a link to click.
its a good idea in general, but most of the posts reflect the fact that obviously nobody knows whats going on. so posting more examples that people can conveniently click to see straight away is perfectly reasonable.

maybe some examples next time, fourth.

as long as you place hint/skip brushes i spose...although remember if its a multiplayer map the whole map is rendered at the same time.
but if singleplayer, you can use the hint brushes i'm pretty sure.

no black 3d window, no gameinfo errors, only the changing the appID, and im not even gunna do that, except for my own mod files.
