I haven't tried anything since my last post, but another thing came up. I ran f-prot antivirus on /home and it found 32/Tibick.B in my transgaming pseudo-C drive, named "svcnet.exe". Interesting that a virus got installed via cedega. I'm not sure if it did anything or if it ever ran, but thought it was funny to find. I'll try HL2 again and see if any luck.
