totally wrong group, but I need a quick answer :
can anyone with an iPod tell me if you can run it from a power
transformer directly as opposed to the docking station? I want to keep
docking station with PC, but use iPod with mains power connection at work.

I counted all the game boxes from the last zillion years

I downloaded the 760MB HL2 demo from ati.com.  When downloaded and
installed, I tried to access the point "play HL2 demo" from the Steam
menu.  However, all I have been getting the last day is:
 "This game is currently unavailable.  Please try again at a later

My son received the game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle-Nexus
as a Christmas gift. The installation seemed to go OK, but the game
won't even start - just goes to an all-black screen and crashes the
machine to where it won't even reboot on Ctrl-Alt-Del, we have to turn

I'm persuaded to discard the idea of upgrading this computer at any
time.  I'm pretty much settled on the cpu I think.  I hope to
overclock it from 1.8GHz to 2.5GHz  Total cost is ~$740.00 Canadian.
This is the set up I'm thinking about:

HL 2 demo coming today at 1:00p PST.  Cut and pasted from

the amazing digital actors and physical gameplay that has made Half-Life 2

OK, if my non-existing wife would have a creepy VOICE like that, I'd get
a f.cking divorce!  My Christmas was f.cking ruined because of that
bitch!  What happened on Deck 4, I cannot forgive!  No, no!  You did
Linda Blair on Dr. Polito?

Well this is sure a new one. I was really excited to play Riddick on my PC
because it really looks fantastic at higher resolutions and it has
quicksaves as well as mouse control. I only got about half way through my
Xbox version and decided to get the PC version instead. I played it ...

Wow. I just noticed this -- Gamespot gave Chronicles of Riddick a 9.3
rating, which is better than what they gave Half Life 2!
They say: "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay is one of
those exceedingly rare types of games that delivers exceptionally high

way before hl2 was released, valve stated there should be many anti-steam
why did they knew so many would oppose it even before releasing it?
valve knows they are "invading our territory", some will give up easily
others will fight to the death for what they believe is right

I'm not here to bash Valve because I loved Valve's games (HL1).  HL1 +
all expansion + Team Fortress Classic gave me many hours of good
entertaintment.  I have been looking forward to have HL2 in my game
collection since the day I completed HL1.  I recently got HL2 (xmas

Reinstalled Myth 2 for some old time coop and I was thrilled to find that all the levels from
Myth 1 have been converted for Myth 2.  I always thought the Myth 1 levels were just a bit
better than the Myth 2 levels.
Also, a new 1.5 patch allows it to run with no CD along with higher ...

I have spent alot of money on pc  games and looking back, I hardly
finished any of them, even with the best titles...Always craving for new
games and the impulse purchase of any new game is sometimes the ends of
itself.

Me? Never I think (maybe a pint or two from a friend) : I frequently
