Began playing Doom 3 again, never thought I would do that, not even if I was paid to do it ! Been a blast and damn, it's 3:35 a.m. and I have 3 hours left to try to sleep before getting up for work. Oh well, not complaining ... Note: If after a reload, the on-off key for the headlight doesn't work, ...

Condemned, criminal origins. I'm getting spoiled !

Monolith gave us FEAR, and now Condemned, criminal origins and what a record of gaming goodness that is. Yesterday I finished Half-Life 2 episode 1, and now I finished Condemned (played it non stop, seven am now), two blasts of the highest quality. Condemned is a great demonic action thriller that d...

Just finished episode 1, there are parts I played time and again, they were so perfect.

Today, nobody can dream of being as good as Valve, they are so far beyond.

Pure and refined unadulterated gaming bliss.


Oh, and I love Alyx ... damn you Gordon !!!!

After careful study and consideration, scissors in hand and no more patience, I cut the fan's 4 frigging lights just below the tiny bulbs, saying this mantra : do your worst, do your worst, etc. Not for the fainthearted, we are talking about a 1.237 u$s rig here, but what the heck, you only live onc...

If no other suggestions appear, I'm already a whole lot better than before with your ingenious solution. That little piece of tech is transparent, so I can tape it all around except for intake and exhaust, and it will be much better (if somewhat ugly, heh) Theophilusmousse, thanks a lot ! Hey, this ...

Wow, I'm still slightly confused, but definitely awed.

Thanks FP and all others for your advice, so far it seems like double boot is the best solution.
