I played a really fun game the other night that I’d like to share because it’s a little addicting in that fun team player way 
Synergy co-op Mode gives us an amazingly fun mod called Synergy. You can use this mod for Half-Life 2, ep. 1, and ep. 2. To install it, you basically have to have the Half-Life games, with the SDK Source installed. You then run the synergy installation and it’s all set! Synergy mod even shows up as an independent game in X-fire. It’s pretty cool 
There’s a few kinks I found while playing the game with 2 other people. There are a few places where the game skips (just a few puzzles, the end of a level, etc..). Another thing is the Half-Life games were obviously made for one player mode, and when you have multiplayer- it gets a little easy.
But it’s frackin TOTALLY RAD to run into a level with a team and take it out in minutes~!! omg! Play it!! It’s really fun to go through the Half-Life games on multiplayer!!!

As you all know, I recently moved in with my liek, rad bf. We had to sacrafice a few things already, just so two people could comfortably live in the same room together. We bought this little desk, and modified it to our needs. With that said, I now have dual monitors instead of just the one, and I also have a new Radeon X1900 video card.
I have to say having dual monitors is a really REALLY nice thing. It’s much easier to organize and multitask. I can watch a movie on fullscreen and browse the web at the same time, or play a video game and chat in IRC side by side. The only downfall- video’s run best on the primary monitor than the secondary, and if you want to go dual- get the same kind of monitors. One of mine isn’t as bright as the other. It’s also a bit blurred which is a little bothersome…
After reformatting my computer, deleting a bunch of crap, and upgrading to this new hardware plus some new software… My computer is FINALLY running like new. I’ve been able to install all my games at the highest resolution and they run beautifully, without any rips or tears in the maps. I can’t wait to get my pwnage on!
