Who doesn't love the visual representation of user data in pie chart form? I know I do! Especially when that data is user submitted statistical analysis of how Steam users play Valve's newest release, Half-Life 2 Episode 1. Now, nerdy data hounds like myself who previously thought to ourselves "I wonder what the standard deviation for completion time on hard is for users with high dynamic range lighting enabled versus those without?!" and sighed heavily with defeat, knowing we'll never actually know this important information can finally get out of bed and do some intense calculations!

Valve has published the first set of results from their data set for you, the lowly player, to hover over and study. Sadly, we may never know during which level thousands upon thousands of lonely first person shooter aficionados fall totally and completely in love with the dreamy Alyx. Michael McWhertor
