I was looking forward to this game [Metro 2033] for months, so I was annoyed when the Steam page counted down and then disappeared. I bought a physical copy yesterday and installed it last night. After some trouble getting it to start (it was just a crash about two seconds into the first splash screen but there were numerous potential fixes, it's just about throwing shit at the wall until it sticks) I was ready to go. As you do I was messing around with the graphics settings, delighted with how lovely it looked even in DX9 - the texture filtering is super crisp - and eventually settled on something that gave me a solid framerate, in no way exceeding my new card's capabilities. I don't overclock for now and I didn't keep it at DX10. A nice, moderate setting that still looked great. Excellent, I thought, I'll just deal with these monsters....
BANG.
"This game is so awesome your PC will literally explode" - IGN.com
My PC blew up. I don't know why or which part, there was just a flash and a loud bang somewhere up top near the disc drive. It just exploded and powered down, leaving me with crapped pants and staring at a now-black screen. It wasn't a power issue in the house, my monitor and speakers were still on. What the fuck. What should I do? Does this mean it's totally fucked? I'm too scared to turn it on.
On the upside, I had a dream involving both Boost Bindburn and Video Games at my house directly afterwards.
So I am opening up some boxes I packed because I thought I was going to be moving, but I am not. So I found some massive geekdom from years ago and thought it was brilliant enough to share.

I must say, this is a great video for getting people to start thinking about what can be done with the Alien Swarm SDK.

It's actually pretty fun. If it had come out in those days it might have been one of the best games on the system.
