I don't get the whole "Steam needs competition" thing. Steam HAS competition. And, despite all of its shortcomings, it's owning all of them.

Usual Hollywood bullshit. Nobody wants to take any risks. Kids like Spider-Man. Soon you'll have so much Spider-Man, you'll be shitting him.
You'll be shitting Star Wars too. I guarantee it.
I'll take Sam Raimi's Darkman over almost any comic book flick of today. You know why? Because it's not serious AND FUN!

Replying to @richardcobbett and @SQHistorian
The only real difference is the original version looks like it was meant to be on a C64.

There's also a weird drift from controls. It's hard to explain, but yeah, motion sickness with HL2 is very common.

It's possible to reduce it though. For me turning off vsync and bringing fov to 90 works just fine.

It doesn't always work though. Sometimes the artist obviously counted on dithering actually being there.
