Accept the game for what it is.It is still an awesome game that everyone should play and support. So many times people simply look at the graphics of a game to make reviews or opinions on the game.What ever happened to the most impo! rtant aspect of games, gameplay?Counter-strike has the best gameplay of any game ever made. Period.Newer games may hands down beat Counter-Strike in graphics but will never even come close to the gameplay that the original Counter-Stike has. Its a truely incredible pc game.I've played the original Counter-Strike since its beta.Hours upon hours I have spent on this game and no other game will ever match the ultimate enjoyment of gaming than that of Counter-Strike.I still find myself, after all these years, in awe of the game.Trust me, I've played Counter-Strike Source, Doom III, Battlefield 1942, Call of Duty, and Half-Life 2, and I choose counter-strike 1.6 over all of them any day of the week.

Dom_Perignon_(person) Dom Perignon was a Benedictine monk frequently credited with the invention of Champagne (beverage)|Champagne. The famous brand of Champagne Dom Perignon (wine)|Dom Perignon is named after him.The quote that is attributed to him, "Come quickly, I am tasting the stars!" is supposedly what he said when tasting the first sparkling Champagne. Sadly, while the Dom did work tirelessly and successfully to improve the quality and renown of the still wines of Champagne, he did not invent sparkling wine, nor was he the first to make Champagne. In his era the fermentation|refermentation in bottle that gives sparkling wine its sparkle was an enormous problem for winemakers. When the weather cooled off in the fall, fermentation would sometimes stop before all the fermentable sugars had been converted to alcohol. If the wine was bottled in this state, it became a literal time bomb. When the weather warmed in the spring, dormant yeast roused themselves and began generating carbon dioxide t! hat would at best push the cork out of the bottle, and at worst explode, starting a chain reaction. Nearby bottles, also under pressure, would break from the shock of the first breakage, and so on, which was a hazard to employees and to that year's production. Dom Perignon thus tried to avoid refermentation. He did introduce some features that are hallmarks of Champagne today, particularly extensive blending from multiple vineyards. Prior to blending he would taste the grapes without knowing the source vineyard to avoid influencing his perceptions. References to his "blind tasting" have led to the common misconception that Dom Perignon was blind. quote Wikipedia - Article - History - License:GFDL
