As most of you know (most likely) by now, 'Source' Has been leaked and people all over are downloading it. Please refrain from doing so unless you A) want a virus, or B) like huge porn movies. The hl2_src.rar file from sites alll over has contained one or the other, each is 1.3GB in size.

Microsoft's vulnerabilities allowed this to happen. With an unstable outlook express the hacker imported a keylogger to watch the network connection for passwords, usernames, ect. A few different sets of files were used to enter Valve's network. One set of files, to my understanding, gives the hacker the ability to regain access even if passwords and usernames are changed.

Quite a few people around the half-life 2 community think that this is the reason for the delay since the hacker could now obtain/create cheatcodes within hl2 and the cs community of cheaters will happen all over again.

ok I'm bored and I figured I'd post this. My new job and a hoop earing is a bad combonation cuz somethin could fall into the engine so I bought a spacer tonight. I went (for those of you who dont know I'll give you measurements) from a 6 gauge earing to a 2 gauge spacer. pretty much goin from the flat part near the end of a pen to the main part of the pen. It hurt bad (dont do it unless you like pain) so anyways.. yah, I'm bored and it hurt.. but it looks cool now.. I can pass wires and shit through my ear when I'm REALLY bored.

After waiting more than 6 months for the release of hl2, it has finally been confirmed.. Its been delayed. Hl2 was due to go gold on 9/21 and had not done so. Today Valve stated the delay. None of the hl2 sites know when it will be released, though some think it may be next month, others february, and some say even this time next year. With the delay of Half-Life being almost a year, and a previous Valve game being delayed, speculations are rising that HL2 may not be released for another year. Also with this delay; many, including myself, should have noticed the delay was coming when the SDK wasnt released when it was supposed to. The SDK was scheduled for release between (roughly) August 25th and September 10th. Valve, as most people know have kept HL2 very very quiet. And then around the time for SDK release Valve went almost silent. One person, a regular on the Half-life2.net forums got to go inside and see valve. Other than the small bit of info he recived, which wasnt much aside from a few concept pieces, Valve kept quiet.

Hope we get some more info soon. People are goin nuts.

Ok I got another Idea for a mod (this doesnt belong in the odd mod ideas page since its not odd >=D. I'm thinking about a vehicular TFC mod, where rather than JUST a person you have a vehicle depending on your class. The classes are below. The maps could range from cities to deserts, pretty much anywhere and the objectives would be like destroy their base, capture the object, ect. I may do this mod as my own personal side project so I can learn ALL aspects of modding again. Help would be appreciated if possible tho.

Classes: (VTFC) | TFC
APC - Personel Carrier
AMBULANCE - Medic
UNDERCOVER - Spy
LIGHT TANK - N/A
HEAVY TANK - HW Guy
LONG RANGE ROCKET TRUCK - Soldier
GUNNER - N/A
REPAIRMAN - Engy
SCOUT BUGGY - Scout
FOOTMAN - N/A
MAN HUNTER - Sniper

Suggestions and whatnot are welcome, I've started working on the general vehicles to get an idea of what I want.

I got tired of looking at either a really bright skin or a really ugly skin. I decided to make my own, below is a screenshot and a link to download it.
