Either way - we now have another reason HL2 is a great game...and a reason to actually use some of the more underused weapons like the crossbow.

#58528 Posted on: 12/01/2004 10:51 PM when I sit at my computer and pull at my penis the monitor goes all blurry. HL2 is hardly viewable, so I called VALVE and asked them "why is it that when I play my illegal copy of hl2 and pull out my penis the game goes all blurry, what are you going to do about this?" Gabe replied, "Are you pulling at your penis right now and is your computer switched on?" I think gabe wanted to experience exactly what I was so he pulled out his penis (I heard the zipper) and exclaimed "Hey your right, my illegal copy of monopoly does the same thing!" The end result was that the problem is in the penis shaker. Although valve isn’t sure of when a fix will be available, they do assure that every single employee and hierarchy is on the job testing and testing my complaint. Thanks Valve, thanks Gabe Babe.

#58531 Posted on: 12/02/2004 02:23 AM hm its kinda lame, even with just 14 people it feels really packed, and gets laggy. Plus everyone just uses SMGs.. I hate smg, that was my least favorite weapon in hl2. so damn annoying. Maybe if the maps were a little bigger, or I found a server with less people, it would be more fun.
