Or, better yet, every time I walk from one corridor into another with some games
Like the afformentioned 'PC' Half-Life 2 thenGranted, HD installation does have the benefit of the game being available to play staight off the bat ..
but, even then, I still get random pauses/glitches when the game trys to load in data from the HD during play.
The CD/DVD drives in PC's are no better though. They have the nasty habit of stopping just before the game needs a 'data reading' session so you get that ''spinup'' delay
Pc's are still not geared up for gaming glory.
The O/S itself could do with a "Game Mode" whereby nothing runs in the background to interupt the play.
A bit like how the Amiga could kick Workbench in the teeth and let the game itself hit the hardware.
