Hey everyone, I was browsing youtube when I came across this awesome mod for Half-Life 2.  I had a few questions before I get ahead of myself and start buying things.

Q1) I obviously don't have HL2, so if I were to download it from Steam for $20 would this be okay for GES?

Q2) I need to know if my laptop will run this game, since fallout runs but its not the best of times...
- Dell Inspirion E1505
- Intel Core Duo T2350, 1.87GHz
- ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
- 1GB RAM
- Vista H.P. (Death lol)

Q3) I have been a console gamer my whole life, but PC games are making me happy since mods like this surface and bring a new flavor to the game.  Anyways to the question, I currently use Xpadder to use my Logitech controller (it looks like a PS2 controller)  Would using Xpadder work correctly for HL2 / GES?  [NOTE: I was able to use mouse movements to my right-analog stick with Xpadder for Fallout3]

Q4) Once I am able to install the game, how do I go about getting a Steam account?  I know you have to go to their website and download an app and other things.

Sorry for all the newbie questions.  I really want to try this beast out!

PS: Is there anything else I need to know before I attempt on purchasing/installing?

Thanks for your time

1/ HL2DM. 5 bucks and you don't need more. Make sure it is the SOURCE version.
2/ Don't get your hopes too high, but that should do it in 800x600

4/ Yes, make a steam account and doawnload steam itself. Follow the guide on our wiki and you should be ok.

Oh sweet, I was going to ask if I could purchase the $5 HL2TD game.  I also just downloaded STEAM and made an account.  I'm off to download the game! 

EDIT:  This is one correct?  How will I know if I get the source version?

Watch out because Steam makes it too easy to buy really awesome video games (even Fallout 3)... I succomb every month to buying a new game eep

Welcome to the community, I hope you enjoy the mod!

Also, yes that is HL2DM: Source, you are all set if you buy that one

Cool, thanks for all the help guys.  I'll get that and venture in trying to make my controller work with it.  Yes I know the PC guys say they are better than console guys.  I call myself a hybrid now lol.
