  1. I'd never rate HL2 90+, considering that it was so short and boring, even on hard.

    Only real fun place was Ravenholm and playing B-Ball with dawg.

    And that it got released a year late compared to what Valve said, should atleast down it with 20%.

    Short?

    Goshdarn.

  2. It's not a real football. It's not the typical stitched leather of a football (aka soccer ball) as it's made of a thin rubber material. And it's much harder to kick, especially when it's a little bit deflated like the ball we were using.

    Ouch. I remember the days of trying to play football with a rubber ball. The wind just takes them anywhere it likes.

  3. Ok so it turned out it was the BIOS that needed flashing, which meant killing the machine off..

    Good news is I've set the ball rolling for an upgrade :)

    I wanted to go for a 3.8GHZ machine but I'm told that you need a 64bit version of XP, yet that is only in beta format, so my question is how the hell do you run these high-end machines?

    With this in mind, I've had to stick with a backup plan, this is what I have so far:

    Intel 3.2GHZ and new Gigabyte motherboard.

    120GB HDD.

    1024GB RAM.

    GeForce 6600 GT

    Any advice you can give me on achieving a decent setup? I'd like to be able to run say F.E.A.R. on the full settings if possible..

    Also what are the benefits of going to a bigger monitor? I've had a 15 " screen for years and it only goes upto a 1024x768 resolution and I want to go higher possibly, but is it worth it and why?

    Thanks in advance..

    PS: I'd like answers to these ASAP please as I need to know by the end of today what I'm doing...

    You heard wrong chief, the high-end 64-bit Athlons run 32-bit Windows and games just fine. When eventually stuff like Windows Vista comes out you'll be able to 'unlock' the 64-bit potential of your CPU.

  4. It just didn't seem worth the hassle for me.

    That said, my friend has somehow gone from a normal iPod to an iPod picture to an iPod video all in the space of 3-4 months, and all for free. Somehow the shop just gives him free upgrades if there's the slightest thing wrong.
