For one, not only is ATI hardware second rate, but their drivers are
always full of bugs. They even warn you against installing the latest

I just reinstalled half-life, then downloaded the update 1.1.1.0.
When I try to enter TFC, it tells me that my update is out of date,
then it tells me it will search for a new one.  After doing that for a
few seconds, a message came up saying once again "1.1.1.0 is out of

Any way to change crosshairs while running Steam "opposing Forces"?
I have to change them in my regular HL games to see them as my old eyes are
not that great.
Decided to play OpFor to kill some more time while waiting for the HL2, but

I quit playing  the Half-Life single person game at Gonarch's Lair about 6

Dunno why Valve states this after the preload download.. Trying to get us
hyped up prolly as HL2 can't be a mere 1 gig.

That same account on HL2 Fallout was used to pre-announce the Counter
Strike: Source beta and the HL2 preload, and it was correct both times.
Nobody thought it was hacked after those announcements.
Interesting that after the HL2 gold announcement everyone suddenly thinks
