Trying to resist the urge to play Team Fortress 2, I will only post video game reviews and will be using my deviant art account that I set as my homepage for everything else. My Steam name is Oolon Colluphid, and the name I registered with is Snydermus. Message me so I can play TF2 with people that don't suck at it! Because I like being organized, I delete comments on this page that are more then six months old.

It seems more Source mods are switching from Source Engine 7(either one) to Source Engine 14 instead, which I think seems to be a pretty good thing. Because the the Orange Box games seem to run faster on my old peice of crap better then Source 7 ever did, Episode 1 still lags even compaired to how smoothly Half Life 2 Episode 2 runs. I may not be the only one who has experianced this on an older computer. I guess Valve optimizing the Source Engine for consoles may be a good thing for PC gammers, even if the consoles versions are lacking. I even looked at GDC 2008 post Mortem PDF's on Valve's website and this seems to be the case as well.
They can be viewed here at Valvesoftware.com careful though, it took me about one hour each to read. So unless you actully like reading and learning something, don't bother.
