Half-Life 2 has gone gold.


Recommended Posts

and if the pi?ata just fell into the ground?

the article don't says that "a person" broke the pi?ata...

:laugh:h:EDiT:b>

Back in November 1998 when the Half-Life release candidate had been approved by Sierra Studios and had gone gold, the guys and girls at Valve celebrated by smashing open a large pi?ata shaped like a headcrab.

This time around however, thanks to our friends over at Half Rules, we can now reveal that the pi?ata is shaped like a scanner and is hanging in the lobby of Valve's Headquarters in Bellevue.

Attention... this picture is about Half-1 and 2<;)> ;)

Um, well if the game just went gold it most likely won't be seen in stores till around that time anyway.

Thnx for confirming that :s ha! No but i mean cause everyone here is getting all worked up etc and yet....

If were gonna poo our pants over this then what you all gonna do when Valve release an official statement.

All Im saying is "Calm Down" for now anyways....

technically, 15 days... i hate these waits. my bet is that it's gonna leak before nov 1st.

though this thread didn't give me a heart attack... i had it when i read "Half Life 2 Leaked....." only to read it back later on and notice it was "Halo 2 leaked....."

hope :p

jeeze the amount of times i have heard the name Half Life 2.... just annoys me now. :|

the game better be good.

itll probably be like doom3.. everyones all in anticipation and it will be warezed days before its release.. then everyone will play for 4 hours and call it boring.. then it will fade away in anticipation for another game that requires even better hardware ;)

Well, this is a perfect advertising campaign from them. I mean keep people guessing when it's going to release so much it's the most talked about thing around.. my hats off to them.

Don't forget your tin foil hat! The leak was one big stunt too I guess, as far as you're concerned...

lmao. I wanted to make a tin foil hat for my teacher... but that's another story.

I hope there's an official statement regarding this sometime next week... if not, I'll dismiss this as another shinanigan.

With the 1st of November rumours, I was just about to get annoyed cause i'd need to fork out ?35 for HL2 when it came out.. problem being that I am planning on getting a PSTwo on the day of release too, which is the same day.

Then I remebered I already bought HL2 and CS: Source on Steam... hoooray:DD:))

i'm really expecting lots of immersion from this game. it looks like it's going to be way more fun than doom3. doom3 was graphical goodness (it was fun too. but it's biggest point was graphics). i think hl2 is going to be playability goodness :D

i really wish the best for this one. hope it's not a let down like doom3 (i really did expect a bit more from doom3)

Your to young to know better.. I'll let it go. But this has been done by lots of companys. It's not far fetched, so be naive if you want :p

    • I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.
    • Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!
    • wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
