	#1 - some_guy - September 03, 2008 16:58 it's a very nice browser, but untill it gets more options and addons, i can't give up firefox...
	#2 - energ - September 03, 2008 17:21 It's very nice indeed! I've downloaded it and i like it! it's my standard browser!
	#3 - spitfire - September 03, 2008 20:12 It's nice indeed, but i'm sticking with FireFox XD
	#4 - sslice - September 03, 2008 20:22 Yeah, I'm using Chrome as default now.. I can always load up Firefox when I need to use Firebug.
	#5 - Tolkienfanatic - September 03, 2008 21:06 It's decent and functional, but uses too much memory, and doesn't have ENOUGH functionality. Should definitely not be anyone's primary browser, especially if it requires switching from Fx 3.0
	#6 - Viper - September 03, 2008 21:27 It doesnt use much memory at all and is way lighter than both FF or IE. So maybe you need to check for spyware first ;) And I already made it my default browser, has all i need.
	#7 - invisible - September 03, 2008 23:02 i like pretty simple easy to handle some stuff missing but i bet that will be added soon.
	#8 - sslice - September 03, 2008 23:24 Yep, I'd say it is pretty damn solid for the first beta. :P
	#9 - Rave - September 03, 2008 23:29 You wouldn't expect anything less from Google, but it is missing tons of functionality for addons etc. Once people start making their toolbars etc work with it, I may switch over then - for now, it's still FF ftw.
	#10 - energ - September 04, 2008 00:01 Okay, i have to admit that i've got back to FF 3.01 :$ i'll wait for another version of Google: Chrome! for me is the problem that it doesn't show some sites like Vodafone wel. But, never the les. It's a good one! Ooh yeah, Go Viper say them that Chrome is OKAY!
	#11 - energ - September 04, 2008 00:05 i've forgot something. The fact that you can't use something like a plugin for WMP.. Some channels @ radio sites like www.nederland.fm won't work. That's a question of time.
	#12 - pater_s - September 05, 2008 22:18 I love it

Left 4 Dead gets a small delay

Posted by Viper - August 25, 2008 16:01 - 576 Views

Nothing bad so dont get shocked, but In an interview with Gabe Newell himself the guys from Gamekings.tv find out that Left 4 Dead will get a littlebit of a delay for it's release date. It will be moved from November 4th to November 20th 2008. Read More ť

Comments
	#1 - icebreaker - August 25, 2008 16:21 I'm confused. Gabe said something between the lines: "L4D is being released on the 10th anniversary of Half-Life, which is November 20th", but I just read Half-Life was released on November 19th... durrr?
	#2 - Viper - August 25, 2008 16:26 Than what you read was wrong ;)
	#3 - icebreaker - August 25, 2008 16:30 I beg to differ: http://steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=app&AppId=70&cc=BE Release date: Nov 19, 1998. Get your facts right, Gabe!
	#4 - Billeh - August 25, 2008 16:58 Shacknews think it has something to do with Gears of War being released on the 7th.
	#5 - spitfire - August 25, 2008 17:26 thnx to spitfire for posting the link to the video :P
	#6 - Billeh - August 26, 2008 12:20 Update: 18th for Amerifags and 21st for europe, maybe Steam People get a deal.
	#7 - sslice - August 27, 2008 06:23 On the bright side.. closer to Thanksgiving break for Americans.
	#8 - Rave - August 27, 2008 23:25 Oh FFS are you shitting me? Why does the US get it before us? BS.
	#9 - Olly - August 28, 2008 00:16 Because americans are greedy. Anyway, it comes out at the same time on Steam, i think its only the retail copy.

HLstatsX Ingame Plugin v2.6 for SourceMod

Posted by Viper - August 03, 2008 21:08 - 601 Views

An update of HLstatsX Premium was released which introduces full support for the game "Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat" and two new options "Delayed Ingame Messages" and "Announce Players". The option "Delayed Ingame Messages" (disabled by default) delays the ingame notifications until the player dies or a round is over. This option is especially useful for mods like "Insurgency" where death notifications shouldn't be available to keep up realism. Read More ť
