Oh. I thought they'd be facing out. Obviously, then you have to get them 
to shoot each other. :-)

Well, as I said, I already have HL1. I just uninstalled it for space 
reasons. And my ISP just bumped my cable modem speed up to 10Mbps, which 
used to be LAN speed, so I don't imagine waiting for the thing to 
install will be problematic. I usually don't mind waiting overnight for 
such stuff anyway.

Cool to know. I'll have to see if it works with my graphics card, which 
is getting kind of old. What happens if you buy a game your machine 
won't play? Is it smart enough to tell you that?
