# I'll stop buying consoles the day they start making PC games which actually fucking work properly and/or don't have to be powered by the sun.
Fucking Left 4 Dead really occasionally freezes up for like 5 seconds at a time for no reason making it basically unplayable and completely fucking the teamworking element.

Nice going developers!

# I got no issues, man.
Bioshock refused to load when I got it, but it turned out to be a conflicting driver. My games work, man.

# POWERED BY THE SUN.
Also why the fuck do most games not seem to have a lobby system these days?

Is it some kind of conspiracy to make games shit? By putting in regenerative health, no health bars, and stupid matchmaking systems which don't work.

# source games fuck up with some soundcards
usually extremely common onboard ones

# Fuck.
I bet there isn't even an option to not render the sound either.

This wouldn't happen if they did it in OpenGL!

# -nosound
I think :)

or -noaudio

there's a bunch of startup options

I found that from changing from the onboard sound to a soundblaster with some russian drivers that half life went from crashing.. a lot.. predictably, and hanging, and just hanging and doing nothing

to working completely all the time

source is the only thing that fucks in this way on my machine

I suspect valve are probably using some naughty microsoft secrets for the audio that pushes less than perfect (in the area prodded) sound drivers/hardware over the edge and into fail.

of course, it's not valves fault and if you have a problem with their software you are to uninstall it and fuck off apparently.
