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.

who cares about "mac releases".
Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 finally were updated to the Orange Box engine!

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

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

I think you overestimate the age of many gamers ;PÂ I dunno, this is like the first time in at least 10 years that I've even seen it
 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.Â
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.

ok i didnt actually mean it when i said you should huff paint
its probably a hardware issue, i was playing it earlier with no issues (brightness was fucked a little but turning off bloom seemed to work)
