So yeah, this was relatively hush-hushed. I know a few mac users who I am going to pressure into buying all three.
Also HL2 and Ep1 get achievements.

Oh man, I just saw the trailer, and mind = blown.  GG Valve creativity and obscure references Tongue  Wonder if anyone besides me got it Tongue

See Valve's video at:

Half-Life 2 on OS X - Free Yourself

Then watch the original Macintosh Superbowl launch ad from 1984:

1984 Apple's Macintosh Commercial

<@Negate> 12121212121212121212
<@Negate> there is a simple pattern
<+Karrde> I changed my mind.  Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD
<+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself
<+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some.

I really wouldn't call the original commercial "obscure".

I think you overestimate the age of many gamers ;P  I dunno, this is like the first time in at least 10 years that I've even seen it Tongue  I just assume most ppl never saw it since it was from, you know, 1984.

There have been several times when the game just won't work. I've had to noclip out of some levels because the scripted events didn't happen. And now, I can't get any farther in the game because the rockets I'm firing won't follow the laser. 

I've seen several occurrences of missing textures, some physics errors, and worst of all, the game is so dang bright now it hurts my eyes. As a matter of fact, the skybox is the only thing I haven't noticed so far.
