| My only beef so far is them adding HL2, which all of us buying the expansions already have, and jacking up the price to that of a full length installment. I've seen it advertised at Circuit City for $38 and it's sold out, but my inclination is I'd rather not pay more than $25-$30 for an expansion. ... |

personally, if i had to have 1, i would go desktop - and ditch the htpc case.
and i would steer WAY clear of the inspirons. nothing but hassle. if you want a Dell laptop - go latitude or forget it. i've had both. i gave my inspiron away. free. |

| i usually do a 105 or 110 depending on the game. but my screen isnt strictly 16:10, it's more like 15:9 ... but just use what you are comfortable with. like fish-eye? crank it to 135 or 140. like it really tunnel-y? try 75-80. |

gamecopyworld is ok, IF you use firefox, and let it block popup ads.
believe it or not, it's probably the least dodgy site for cracked exe's and trainers out there. |

The game loads up fine in 1024x768 but when it switches to 848x480 the game crashes. I reinstalled the original patch... |
