The only two problems I've had are:

1) a ridiculous long start up time and...

2) problems with UAC (telling me I'm not an admin when I am an admin pisses me right off). Otherwise nothing, and I don't understand all this hate towards Vista...but then again I really don't pay too much attention to the finer points of operating systems.

These are just rumours. Nothing more.

Still I think it's going to be a couple years before we see Ep 3 (or HL3) or whatever the hell it is they're doing at Valve. All I know is I'm down for waiting because I know it's going to be worth it.

Don't know if any one has mentioned this yet but...

...Bioshock 2's system specs were just revealed and they include a whole bunch of DRM, such as Windows Live activation and a five install limit.

Read for yourself.

Wow that was stupid. Who's gonna pay the internet bill now?F1_2004

I want to hear this directly from Valve before I believe this. And if they do tell us that it won't be out this year...well at least they told us something.

Oh and it better be a freaking full game and not five hours of re-hash. I don't care how awesome you are Valve, you can't get away with that.

I haven't seen many of the movies up for awards this year but I am honestly surprised that Avatar won best Drama. It looked fantastic and Cameron should totally take every award for it's visual effects but the story was so full of cliches and bad writing that it wasn't even funny.

It totally should be nominated, but I don't think it should have won. I know that when I finally get around to watching other award movies (i.e. Hurt Locker, Up In the Air), I will probably end up enjoying them much more.

BGII, in it's current state, is still and will always be good enough.

3D remakes are waste time IMHO.

Another great idea from Valve. Can't wait to see what the community comes up with...and hopefully with more items crafting will become more useful.

How friggin scary death is...and by extension how precious life is.
