Excellent.
Which begs for the next question: what do you think should be the punishment for those found guilty?
:armed:
On a team speak server a few of us were discussing how they should probably be put out in public, and anyone who wants can line up to beat them. :D
They must be the single most hated computer criminals ever!

The haneous crime of Half-Life 2 code theft should be punishable by the removal of all Internet-access and modems in computer and related devices in their possession and a restaining order issued to prevent (haha) them from accesing a computer with Internet or dial-up capabilities anywhere else for the period of one year.
Not having my PC online for a week puts me over the edge.

Isn't there a Crowbar weapon in Half-Life? Guess what my answer is...

Well theft is theft wether made by internet or in person so the sentence should measure up to the crime. It will be up to the Judge to hand it down but I would see a prison sentence, not a San Quentin type of sentence, but some months in a cage then some probation for community work and has it has been suggested, not to be allowed to possess a computer for so many months. IMHO

Yeah, and in HL2, he gets a partner, and she(!) has a socket wrench. And, of course, she's hot. I could make a joke now about the excellent breast physics, but I'm not.
That reminds me of the game Trespasser (an old FPS based off of Jurassic Park). Never played it, heard just about everything was bad in the game except for two things:
1) The physics in the game were great for the time.
2) The main character was a woman and when you looked straight down, you could see her chest...

You read the PCGamer where they made fun of that didn't you?

If you insist...
In Half-Life 2, the physics will be so realistic that if a female character raises her arm, her muscles will move correctly, and you will be able to her breasts move accordingly. Same goes for jumping, shooting, etc.

You know what? I have never ever played a Lara Croft game. I've never owned a Playstation, so never had a reason to buy one.
As a side note, do you think it's true her "assests" have grown in every game?
I think I played the first tomb raider long enough to experiment with all the camera angles and then I stopped playing...
...I was interested in how the camera worked... you know... from a programming perspective... I wanted to see how they made it move... around her... showing different angles...
