Half-Life 2 "Lost Coast"

Post by Akela »

For all us HL2 junkis:

Recently, I noticed this free add-on, it adds a whole new mission, short but sweet. And yes, I said it's free. It's main purpose is to showcase the whole dynamic light feature, you can see it in the cathedral.

Download off steam now... beware, it has high requirements.

Meh. I didn't like it that much; I got my HDR experience with DoD:S, and now it doesn't matter much to me.

Quake 4 is much better than DOD : P

Also it required some brains to figure out what to do in the Chapel, I wish all missions were like that, plenty of fighting.

this HALF LIFE 2 for xbox was fun :D I finished it last night finally after awhile and it was cool and a bit spooky in some areas with them dead zombie guys and too bad there is no multiplayer as someone mentioned before and the ending kinda made me angry :x again, cause I hoped it would show the explosion which it didn't and thats about it.

I would be playing lost coast as soon as I get home except for the fact that I broke my gaming computer. I left fear running on max graohics and forgot about it and now it wont turn on. I think I overheated and fried my processor (an FX-55) :cry:

Ouch, that bites. Does it just not swich on at all or does the power come on but no post? If the power won't come on you could be lucky and just have a fried PSU (the graphics card and CPU can heat up the inside of the case something fierce, sometimes enough to kill a PSU). If power comes on but its not posting then try removing all your ram then powering up. If you get beeps then your motherboard is fine and your CPU is most Likely the culprit, if not it could mean that both motherboard and CPU are dead.

Try with another Power Supply, it could be that the PSU has a dead rail.

Also try removing everything from your case and reassemble, sometimes that can fix things ;)

Good luck.

heh, found out what my problem was, I maxed out my PSU, a 500 watt.....
So now I need to buy a 600 watt to give me enough buffer and I didnt even get all the mods I wanted to do :cry:

Fear, Is a basic human emotion, what frightens you more? The Fear that you know? Or the Fear that you dont know? But do you know the true meaning of Fear?
