Post by: Eel O'Brian on November 19, 2008, 08:57:40 PM: just tried my old DoD, worked just like Joe said

is that only because i bought HL, or was it always that way

oh well, it was only a buck

Post by: tiesto on November 20, 2008, 09:28:15 AM: I have HL1 Source, since I bought the HL2 Holiday Pack back in 2005 or so (before Orange Box was announced)... haven't played it further than the second level, I really need to make a run through it.

Post by: cool breeze on November 20, 2008, 09:47:29 AM: I hate steam sales since they're always for games I already own. Only one I took advantage of was Bioshock.

Post by: Joe Molotov on November 22, 2008, 12:00:14 AM: Also this weekend, 50% off Sam & Max Season 1 ($14.99).

I played these on GameTap back in the day, but I never bought them. I think I'll pick them up now.

Probably not. I think that's a Source port, so you'd actually need Half-Life 2 instead.

Post by: Kestastrophe on November 22, 2008, 08:38:41 AM: I've had this game since I bought HL2 back in 2004, but I never got around to beating it despite beating HL2 and the expansions multiple times. Gonna try a run this weekend.

Post by: demi on November 22, 2008, 08:41:00 AM: You are robbing yourself of the superior Half Life experience. HL2 is more The Fugitive than Half Life

Post by: ManaByte on November 22, 2008, 11:28:50 AM: Some distinguished mentally-challenged fellow at GAF was bitching that he couldn't bear playing HL due to the graphics.

He needed to be shot in the head with a cyanide tipped hollow point.
