    Half Life 2: Entanglement Glitch

    I had a similar problem where Alyx said she was on her way and I waited forever. Nothing happened, no enemies, no Alyx, no nothing. I then looked around and found one dumb @ss enemy behind one the energy fields around the corner. Killed him and bingo Alyx showed up a second later.

    NIC Cards won't work

    Can you view the ip information? MAC addresss, IP address? If you can't hit the DHCP server, manually assign an address and see if you can ping it from another computer. Also try pinging the loop back address (127.0.0.1) to make sure that TCP/IP is properly installed.

    Half Life 2: $39.99

    I'll be PM at CircuitCity as well. Stupid question though. I've never Price Matched before, do I need to bring in a BB flyer, or do they call them up? Also, does CircuitCity beat BB price by 10% or just match?
