Half life 2

Has anyone played this game?
I bought it and its extremely good!
it also comes with counterstrike.
Its the best game ive ever played

I'm working on it. The game is way too "buggy" for people who have "not-so-awesome" graphic cards (like me). I can only play it when I go to my friend's house, who has a good graphics card. It always crashes on my computer.

From what I played, it's amazing. Certainly the best looking PC game I've ever seen.
I like the new ability to pick up and move objects around, and the new gravity gun (which now has my vote as "the greatest video game weapon EVER").

The physics engine slays any other current game's, and the addition of vehicular stunt action sequences just this game over the top.
Granted, the first Half-Life game was pretty dam good. Half-Life 2 seems to be exceptionally better.

I haven't made it all the way through yet (I think I left off somewhere near the beginning of Ravenholm), but hopefully I can continue when I make that mandatory trip to my friend's house this weekend.
Haven't tried 'Counterstrike' (Source) yet. That's more for the multiplayer experience. I like a good single-player game instead.

Anyway, I need to get busy on HL2 again soon so I can be in the right place to make all the difference in the world.

Also for anyone interested...

Here's a ridiculously impressive Half-Life 2 "speed run".

LAMAR!

I'll have to agree 300% about the gravity gun, that thing rocks hard. I love picking up the sawblades and stuff and other objects and tossing them... I'm not sure about best looking though, Doom 3 is VERY nice looking as well. although much too dark. we'll have to wait until we see some more games based on the Doom 3 engine to do an accurate comparison though.

From what I've played of it, it seems like a pretty kick *ss game. I haven't done much in terms of trying to actually run through it, but I think it plays nicely and has great graphics....

Hopefully I can get to it sometime soon...

yeah it is a kick ass game

Graphic cards are free from nividia! you can downlaod them lol thats what i do. Half life 2 is amazing

I downloaded something called Garrys mod its cool you can basically do anything make anything appear and stuff hard as hell to explain but it rocks hard.

Sorry that I can't share your enthusiasm.
I don't like Half Life or any other 1st person shooter. I don't know why, possibly because I suck at them...

... You're nuts... you cannot download hardware as much as that would rock... then I could actually play some of these crazy new games.

they donwload them for me? unless its like its my card and they download better graphics on it but it becoems a later version! cause i can download another one right now to enhance graphics but i havent cause its huge... i think

You can download enhancements and patches (new graphics), but not graphic cards.
Hardware downloads are still far away I think.

well, a while back someone had printed a PCB using an inkjet printer and semiconductive ink, there was some big hype about being able to download a new computer. I think that would be pretty great other than the fact that conductive ink dries up and cracks, and then no longer functions properly...

I once read about a printer that could print threedimensional objects... I wonder what that was. It was some Austrian company that advertised it.

wow thats amazing. How sweet would that be you could print out nes models and things like that. How much does the stuff for that cost i wonder

That'd be sweet indeed.
Of course you could just print things made from one fabric (they advertised with printing shields and plates and stuff), but that would be cool.
I don't know prices.
When I remember the companie's name I'll do some research on it.

Look here, this is what you can "print".

Cool, eh?

woah thATS CRAZY

INK AND STUFF MUST BE OUTRAGOUSLY EXPENSIVE

Unfortunatley they don't list prices.
You would have to contact them. But it's definitely not cheap.

Printers sell for about 50k $.

That is severely frightening technology.
What is that stuff anyway? Foam? Playdough?

It's really neat and all, but I still want my own "gravity gun"!
