Comment on The Orange Box – Review and Troubleshooting by Chris

I was playing Orange Box 360, and i beat portal and tried to play an advanced map. it worked but i didnt have my portal gun. then i played it in standard. same thing. i tried chapters 6-10 and not only did i not have my portal gun, i began in an elevator and could not get out. i was short as possible, and could not uncrouch. i could walk and jump, but i couldnt get out. the opening of the elevator showed warped imaged of cupsidedown cielingless maps from afar and beyond was just blue warped sky. WTF!? no scratches on disc, not pirated. Got it last week new at GameStop.

My problem is similar, but not exactly the same. My copy of HL2E2 begins to stutter whenever I look up at the sky (namely the big swirly cloud), but in most cases this can be avoided by just staring at the ground whenever it isn’t necessary for me to look forward. Lately though (I’m currently fighting the two hunters in “Riding Shotgun”, where a few others said they experienced a problem) the game has been crashing altogether and when it closes I get a message saying “Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered.” However, even though it says that it is recovered the game only shows a blank screen and loops about a seconds worth of sound.

In episode 2, I have the same 1 frame per second stuttering issue, but it starts as soon as I get to the main menu. The valve and steam intro videos play fine as always, and then I get to the menu screen and everything is laggy, the audio is looping, and I’m unable to even start the game. I tried reinstalling, and it moved at maybe 3 frames per second instead of just one, but remained basically unplayable. All of the other orange box games work more or less perfectly, with the exception of some less severe stuttering in Portal, particularly the final boss. Also, I have 84 GB of RAM left on my laptop, so I seriously doubt it’s a space issue. Whenever I open a source game, it says my video card is unsupported, but once again, save for slight lag in portal and the expected lag associated with playing TF2 using wifi, everything works fine, and when I launch with -autoconfig, the game puts itself on all of the “high” graphical settings. So I ask, am I going to have to cough up 100 bucks (at the ABSOLUTE minimum) for a new video card just to play one game? Or is my problem something easier to solve?

I suddenly feel so ‘average’ its making my skin crawl…

yet I still take solice in the knowledge that I’m not the only one who, while bored at work, was so offended by the inane-ness and utter mediocrity of a PK Shaw quote that they felt compelled to discover the identity of this purveyor of meaningless messages…

What if Merlyn has simply trained himself to talk and walk in reverse? What if he plans his sentences and actions from back to front instead of front to back? It sounds horribly difficult, I know — something like having to trace out a ‘W’ while looking only in a mirror. But he is a wizard after all.

LOL! I googled it too! I also think P.K. Shaw being a professor and teaching philopophy @ a University is much more likely much more worthy of his own quote space on a calender.. LOL .. hmm The Mystery Of P.K. Shaw.. He/she/it’s more famous than Confusious because of these calenders LOL
