       1. Unpack release                                              
       2. Mount image or burn it                                      
       3. Install

       5. Play the game                                               
                                                                      
       Additional Notes:                                              
                                                                      
       If you have used any of these hacked demo cracks out there,    
       then make sure you start a new game, as your old saves will    
       make the game crash. The main reason: it wont work is because  
       those "cracks" are modified demo exes.                         
                                                                      
                                                                      
       Support the companies, which software you actually enjoy!      
                                                                      
       Nice job Valve on updating CEG, but as you can see that didn't 
       help much. Good luck in wasting more money for the next update
