Since HL2 will be/is 20 yrs. old and we're all getting nostalgia! Let's talk about those days!

IIRC during the first week of its release, I bought its retail from a local Best Buy with a $10/10% sale or something back then. According to my detailed https://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/toys.html history, I recently upgraded my Windows gaming PC with these parts: "... ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card, an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2GHz 512KB Socket 754 single core CPU, ASUS K8V SE Deluxe (VIA K8T800 Socket 754 ATX; VIA VT8237 South Bridge; Revision 2; onboard sound disabled; onboard NIC not used/connected (using 3COM NIC for network) and can't be disabled or else Promise Raid won't be activate), a 3 fan HDD Peeze cooler, 1 GB of PC3200 Kingston RAM (CAS 3), and Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS." I think I also got Windows XP OS too.

Anyways, I remember playing this game over my long Thanksgiving weekend. It was amazing! Very smooth, pretty, and fun! I don't remember how long it took me to finish it. It was a great sequel. Of course years later, episodes 1 and 2 (The Orange Box -- will talk about that in three years). I don't have and want a VR to play Alyx.

What about the rest of you? Also, remember PlanetHalfLife.com web site? RIP, & GameSpy's web sites.

Love it….great move…go full racist and call millions of Puerto Rican voters “garbage” and all Latinos “mass breeders who don’t pull out, they cum inside, just like they did our country”, then double, triple, quadruple down and more with every speaker being overtly disgustingly racist in a warm up for the racist rapist in chief.

EDIT: TURNS OUT THEY HAD FULL COPIES OF EVERY SPEECH AND JOKE TOLD AND CUT SOME WHERE HE CALLED HARRIS A CUNT BUT OK’D CALLING PUERTO RICANS GARBAGE AND LATINOS BABY MAKERS THAT DON’T PULL OUT THEY CUM INSIDE…YOUR COUNTRY AND JOKED ABOUT CARVING WATERMELONS WITH THE BLACK FOR TRUMP. ALL FULLY APPROVED, AS WAS CALLING HARRIS THE LITERAL DEVIL, AND MANY OTHER SLURS AND RACIST COMMENTS AND TROPES.

Yes, you fucking morons, there are about 6 million Puerto Ricans living in America, legally, not a single illegal immigrant from Puerto Rico is in the USA, not one, because they are citizens you morons, and they vote!
There are enough in Florida, over 1 million, to turn even it deep blue….and they are ALL PISSED!
There are 300000 Puerto Ricans and 600000 Latinos in Pennsylvania…way more than Biden won by.
Do you really think he can afford almost 6 million extra votes for Harris, because that’s what his Maddison Square Garden event (and years of totally undeniable constant racism against Puerto Ricans and Latinos in general) earns him.

Then Elon’s outreach to women is literally to say “America can’t have a cunt for a president”.

Good job. The Nazi rally killed any slim chance he had left and tainted the entire party as horrifically racist fascists in the most public way at the worst time. Another violent coup is now the only shot, and the national guard and army aren’t on your team.

I’m certain you saw nothing wrong with the speeches, or the venue, or with Trump now wearing Proud Boys colors… that’s because you are a racist.

Maggots have started firebombing ballot drop boxes because you are losing so badly, at least 2 so far.
In Redding a maggot landlord was stupid enough to brag about stealing 4 of his tenant’s ballots and voting for Trump on all 4. He’s been fired and is under investigation for vote fraud…he could (should) get 12 years.

Exit polling is 62%-33%!

PS- shocking news reported that Elon violated his student visa by working instead of going to school. Deport that illegal alien back to Africa now and seize all of his illegally gained assets and cancel any government contracts, he’s an illegal alien! You can’t do business with him in any way.

It’s falling apart around you.

A yougov poll proves that the majority of maga idiots believe the debunked stupid nonsense you spew.
Idiotic nonsense like children getting secret sex changes at school, post birth abortions are happening in America, kids can identify as cats and use a litter box in public schools, migrants are eating pets, America provided most of the Ukraine funding, inflation is the highest it’s ever been, millions of migrants are arriving every month, etc. every single one is demonstrably false, and fortunately for the country independents know it, less that 20% believe the stupidity and the rest are insulted at the stupid lies.
Yes, it is absolutely verified that to be maga you must be stupid and gulible. They’re your people, for sure.

“I have your back, I have your heart….i have every other part of your body.” Yeah, that’s not weird or creepy coming from a rapist, pussy grabbing pedo.
Because I know you’re hiding from who your own Governatorial candidate is, take a listen to a few of his decade old posts about pissing on his sister while having sex with her and more…stuff you won’t hear on tv because they’re far too disgusting….

lol!
The failing flailing campaign is so about one person and only that one person that it is running its new commercials only in Palm Beach because they are only intended to stroke one person’s ego and he lives there, so why run them elsewhere?
Despite these efforts he’s clearly losing his shit. At his recent rally he sent some thug to attack the press box filled with journalists who he called the enemy, and they had to be tazed by police to stop their attack…and the crowd cheered the attack and booed and jeered the police intervention.
Now he actually wants real live lynchings at his rallies.
Just wow sir.

On a side note - DJT is down to the initial private offering price, far less than half the IPO price…absolutely no one has made a dime now (not even the Russian oligarchs) and hundreds of thousands of maggots lost their entire net worth investing in the felon. Hundreds of millions burnt through every quarter…Billions gone. 😂

Glass is rectangular not square. In one position it slides into a groove in the box side making enough room for the ruler, in the other position it can’t fit. He rotates it as he takes it out.

Cousin Vinny out

WTF!? Why can’t I give you points!?!? The “gift your points” box isn’t there.

First to instigate the fight, first to get stung.

That said, my sympathy goes to the wasp. Looking at all the larvae movement of the wasp's nest vs. the hornet's (apparent) empty one, no wonder Queen wasp is forced to attack even if the odd's against her.

This looks staged. Looks so much like the channel's Beekeeper intentional setup the whole box, nests & camera just to get this dueling footage (everything's so clean!). Isn't this animal cruelty?

Because Israel has started their full scale invasion of the last standing city in Gaza where they directed innocent civilians to go, the U.S. has finally suspended bomb shipments to Israel so at least we won’t be continuing knowingly sending the weapons used in this genocide, but make no mistake they have enough American made bombs to murder every innocent Palestinian already, especially since they rounded them up into one big killing box they are now attacking.

The world should be against Israel just like it was against Nazi Germany, the acts are a near mirror. It’s hopeful that The Hague is considering an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes, but disgusting some maga representatives sent a threatening letter to The Hague threatening the “judges” and their families if they dare to indict Netanyahu on the obvious charges of targeting civilians and using civilian starvation as a tool of the military.

I suggest sending the aid procured for Israel to Gaza to rebuild…send Israel a card saying a tree has been planted in Gaza in their name.

Yes, that kind of clearance, Mr Know Nothing. He had clearance to have every document in his personal possession when he received them, unlike Trump who illegally and secretly stole them from secured facilities. His mistake was trusting his staff to properly forward them to the archives when they packed his senate, and later VP offices.

No, ex senators and ex presidents both don’t have clearance to KEEP classified documents, correct. Trump did not ever have clearance to remove nuclear secrets and other highly classified material from a SCIF, not as president and not after, and it endangers the nation that he did so. It requires written declassification by the DOE, the president cannot declassify nuclear secrets under any circumstances.

The DOJ report indicated Biden did not know his staff had stored a few (6) unlabeled low level classified documents at his secure locked think tank office and personal handwritten notes at his guarded and locked home library (namely a few daily briefs on Afghanistan and some handwritten notes he had made, nothing at all designated top secret), indicated he himself (or attorneys at his instruction) looked for them and immediately reported finding them to the FBI, and allowed them to search that and other properties without requiring a warrant.
The DOJ report also indicated Trump DID know he was illegally taking and retaining highest sensitivity most stringently classified top secret documents by the truckload, not just a small part of one box, refused to return them when asked by the archives, lied about having any, required a warrant for a search, actively hid them when searched, lied again about having MORE, lied about showing them to multiple other parties including foreign agents but was caught red handed on tape, claimed personal ownership (of nuclear secrets), kept them unsecured in public areas, tried to destroy video evidence, claimed they were planted, obstructed Justice multiple times…
…must I go on for you to see the difference, or comprehend why one faces no charge and the other treason?
I’m certain the answer is yes, you haven’t heard enough to admit the situations are completely different despite the fact that one is staff improperly packing up his office when he left it, the other one individual intentionally stealing hundreds of state secrets for personal gain at the nation’s expense…you can never hear enough evidence to admit that.

Is Maddow still on? Sorry Charlie, like I’ve told you a hundred times but you can never recall, I’ve never watched CNN beyond short YouTube clips, not before they went right wing certainly not since. In fact, I think it’s likely that you watch more CNN than I do, you sure like to post and quote them now. If she’s still on and is saying the same things I’m not surprised, she was a smart wonky cookie last I saw.
It’s hilarious when you don’t know my sources, because when you can’t try to impugn the source over nonsense you have no argument at all, just rambling nonsensical insanity spewed from your mouth like explosive diarrhea.

Me thinks you have too little brain in the brain.

😂 Talk about projection! What a confession. 😂

Everything Trump said in that idiotic speech was a lie about Biden and an admission of what he himself did.
I won’t insult your minimal intelligence by pretending you actually believe the delusional ramblings you just posted, they would make a good case for insanity if he believed it, but we all know he doesn’t.
Every word of that insanity was a total fabrication of a delusional mind.

The presidential records act absolutely doesn’t give him the right to take top secret classified documents home when he leaves office, or retain them, or lie under oath about having them, or defy warrants for them, or show them to otherS, NONE OF THAT IS LEGAL UNDER THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT.
Trump obstructed Justice at every possible turn, destroying evidence hiding documents, he still has an unsearched secret room in his bedroom not disclosed when the FBI searched, so likely has MORE stolen documents still. Biden cooperated more than fully with the investigation, which even the political hack Trump appointed special prosecutor admitted.
…and Biden had a grand total of 20 documents or notes designated “classified”, none top secret…Trump had over 325 well marked classified FILES containing multiple classified documents each including I think a dozen or more of the highest most secret files the government has, files never supposed to leave a SCIF and not declassifiable by the president under any circumstances.
Not one word he said was true, and you know it, fool.
That speech if not intentional lies is proof Trumpist Alzheimer’s has progressed to the point of total delusion.

PS- Still waiting.

Soooo... bell bottoms are back? Time to open up those boxes in the attic I guess.

Bwaaaahahahahaaaaa!!!!
Vivik Ramaswami has been caught in Rhode Island having used the names of dead voters on his nomination papers to get himself on the ballot (not enough support from the living to qualify). Of course he blames third parties he hired to gather signatures but 1) that doesn’t in any way relieve him of the responsibility to ensure they are all 100% valid and 2) MAGA has a history of hiring MAGA companies to do these campaign activities that have a history of fraud or no history at all (they are created by MAGgots for the sole purpose of committing election fraud for the MAGA candidate).
Cheating just to be a candidate in hopes of being a VP pick, this is MAGA. ALL CHEATING ALL THE TIME.
He won’t drop out, and it won’t stop Trump from considering him as a yes man anything goes VP because any and all election fraud is fine with MAGA when it helps them.
More election fraud from MAGA won’t give a single writhing MAGgot pause about voting for them, election fraud is a main feature of treasonous tumescent MAGgots not a thing you actually care about, they(you) can’t win without it, from gerrymandering to ballot harvesting on massive scales, uncountable ridiculous failed election challenges, machine tampering, data theft, armed thugs “guarding” ballot drop boxes so the wrong people don’t vote, dead voters, false accusations of vote theft…it’s all from MAGgots, lying traitorous cheating violent MAGgots. Your people.

Another case of PROVEN brazen and systematic voter fraud on the part of a self-proclaimed Christian Republican. This time, Kim Taylor, the wife of elected Republican Jeremy Taylor, was just FOUND GUILTY on 52 separate counts related to a scheme to stuff ballot boxes in her husband's race for Congress.
She collected ballots from Vietnamese people who didn’t speak English, filled them out for her husband herself no matter who they wanted to vote for, and stuffed them in ballot boxes. She also illegally filled out voter registration for their children with her address and outright stole their ballots and voted using them, which ended up keeping those children from getting to vote when they tried!
He still came in third.


Not alleged cheating, She’s been CONVICTED of 52 counts, her husband is a non indicted co conspirator. She harvested ballots from non English speaking Vietnamese people (she’s Vietnamese) and filled them out for her husband no matter who they wanted, and she stole voter registration cards for their children, filled them out with her address, stole their ballots and voted for her husband (and other Republicans), and she then submitted all these fraudulent ballots, which ended up keeping the children from voting when they tried in person.

Despite the 2020 cheating scandal AND still losing that election, he was later elected as a county Supervisor in Iowa…because the right doesn’t care about election integrity or the law one whit.

Republicans can’t win even when they blatantly cheat.

I’m still waiting for you to explain how 75% inflation over 22 years becomes 150% increased prices under Biden as you claimed. Please, I need your expertise in mathematics to make the world make sense.

It’s just delicious that the people Trump never gave a thought to, the peons that serve him, are the same people who testified to Jack Smith about all the top secret documents laying around in publicly accessible, even privately rentable areas of Maralago with absolutely no security for any of them, not locked doors, not even closed doors…at Trump’s direct order…and hidden only during pre-announced searches, again at Trump’s direct orders. They also testified about him showing top secret classified military intelligence to many foreign people he was trying to impress.

The people Trump likes to say he’s working for, the same people he doesn’t even see when they’re in the room, are the people that spilled the beans. Guaranteed he still doesn’t know who they are despite being listed by name and occupation. 😂

Oof….Michigan is looking at new election interference charges. They’re waiting for the Supreme Court to decide if their election interference laws are constitutional in the case of the two MAGA operatives that were convicted in multiple states of robo calling black voters to lie to them that vote by mail would send all their information to multiple government and non-government agencies including mandatory vaccinations, bill collectors, police, even “the man”, and would publish it publicly….all lies designed to make people scared to vote.

If those laws are deemed constitutional, most legal scholars say Trump himself violated them repeatedly, and prosecutors are preparing charges. 😂

Wow, there sure is a lot of news on these cereal boxes. I never knew General Mills was an investigative company, but you insist that’s where all this verifiable information comes from, so they must be. Maybe you should check them out.

Oooh-ooh-ooh….Mr Cotter! Giuliani’s Russian tied source in Ukraine has been charged with treason for feeding the US false intelligence supplied by Russia and undermining US/Ukraine relations under the direction of Russian military intelligence…this from the late special edition cereal box this evening.

They need weights in the cars so they weigh as much as the camera car. It’s starting with way more potential energy, so it’s no surprise it passes almost every car every time. Weighted noses would help stop spin outs too.

I’m always impressed with the image quality from a camera that can fit on a match box car without making it flop right over.
