Many of you may know that there has been a vapourware re-imagine of half life coming out for the source engine called Black Mesa.

What you may not know is that they just updated their website for the first time in nearly 4 years with a countdown timer counting down to September 14th, when they're making the first release of the game available. It'll go all the way up to Xen (which they're still working on and won't be available) but still..... it seems that they finally are going to have it come out!!

Comments?

Also...

Hey, sup? Long time no see

Ring

and here I was going to ask the same question

more comprehensive list to come but that one's probably in my #1 slot right now

The Sting

I'd be down for an XL but will need further pricing stuff before I can completely commit

ok... so...

I got the Windows Home Security 2012 virus... and that's been dealt with

but............. Now my computer doesn't remember how to open .exe files

and any time I try to get into anything in the control panel it can't find rundll32.exe which is funny because I'm looking at it right now exactly where it's always been.

I've skulked around the internets a bit and found a couple of suggested remedies, one being to execute an xp os repair using my cd (which I do still have)

the other is registry editing by putting this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command]
   @="\"%1\" %*"

into a notepad and saving it as a .reg

would that work?

Any other grand ideas from the community at large?

EDIT: Problem Solved???

It's working now but we'll see in the near future

I'll probably be getting this game in a couple of checks or so. I'm just saving for a vacation to Japan first... After that probably, so early July? I'll look y'all up then

Here's what I do know.

I've got a 64bit processor with dual cores that is One of theses

It's socket number is 775 (Well LGA775 to be exact)

and I'm wondering if my motherboard can support This

If not can anyone recommend something that it can support that is dual core that runs at at least 2.0 Ghz

I Wanna Play Portal 2

Thanks!

Ring

Oh yeah This is probably my motherboard (as best as I can figure out)

EDIT: Also please understand that I'm talking about empirical support. I'll worry about heat management after I find something that I can plug into this thing...

I've been thinking of getting in on this one... waiting to see just how much per month it's gonna be

also... sup everyone! long time no see!

THANKS!!!

To make a long story short I got a new stick of RAM for Xmas and have run into a slight mental problem with installing it. Please forgive this newbie question

I've got two open ram slots on my MOBO and am unsure as to which one (if there is a difference) I should actually install the danged thing in.

Any ideas?

For any potentially needed reference...

It's a Dell dimension 9200 PC with the factory default Motherboard in it.

Thanks!!

Ring

Oh yeah! That was like, on thursday or something.

shoot, I don't even know...

EDIT: ah, '07

Thanks for the Heads up!

Seems like a case of

to me.

Hi! Welcome to the forums! Don't cause any trouble for the older folks around here and you'll do just fine!

So I got a letter today from campus health services telling us about how Bed Bugs have been found on campus, blah blah blah, be careful.

Thinking back I've heard a lot about bed bugs in the news, both local and national lately culminating in New York's infestation.

What's the big deal and why do so many people worry about the little buggers? They aren't the vectors for any known disease and it would take more than can feed in a night to kill you or even really injure you.

What's all the fuss about? Seriously...

Comments?

I want a rotary phone....

good to hear that you're not an urban legend!

I've been relegated to an internet connection that isn't suited for gaming. Mass Effects have been my balm of late. (also late I know, but hey that means I don't have to upgrade my hardware every 2 weeks to be able to play the latest and greatest)

EDTI: My internet should be improving soon!

congratulations on having an open bar! wait... this isn't about you...

Congrats Dragonfly!

I'm waiting for it to go on sale again on Steam.

it is today hop to

I love finding crap in games. I'd play Diablo all day just to find more crap.

you should get Borderlands

I've been considering investing some cash in the mass effect games (over steam to avoid EA's DRM whatnot) and am wondering if there were any real point to getting the first one or would I be better served by just going right to #2?

Anyone? Anyone?

EDIT:: I realize that the games are old but I like to stay a bit behind the times tech wise (it's cheaper)
