Sorry about the double topic, but I thought it belonged in both.
Thats right! If you own a Nvidia product, you will get the following games FOR FREE:
-Half-Life 2 DeathMatch
-Half-Life 2: The Lost Coast
-Peggle Extreme
-Portal: The First Slice

These games are distributed by Steam, so that means you need a Steam account to get them. (For those who dont know, Steam accounts are free)

If you own a Nvidia product(which is probably why you are here), then go to this page.

I got them about a week ago, I've played less than 5 games of Half Life 2 Deathmatch, and not to brag, but I'm rather good at it. I'm beating a LOT of people, at least. I've always been decent when it came to fast action FPS games, I guess. I was disappointed the Portal demo was short, but I don't expect much more..

This is not the first time I got games from Steam for free. I got them for having an ATI card too! :)

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
