The Release Of Half Life2


Recommended Posts

What a life. Sitting at home for the next 32 hrs with a fridge fulla beers. No work, no school. just sittin there...

Must be the son of a millionaire.

Either way, try a real life for the next 32 hrs till you end up a slave to your monitor.

Btw, whats the gf think about this? Assuming you have one. (probably not)

Anywho, congrats. Being I won't be able to play till this coming weekend cause of work and all the burdens of having a life.

I'm gonna schedule no downloads for that day and im gonna be auto-refreshing www.ircspy.com every 5 secs till its released :D

Whereas at 8am GMT, i'm gonna reload Steam and unlock the game before going to work.. rather than hoping someone manages to release a hax0red version, and then have to sit waiting through a 4GB download that about 8 zillion leachers are gonna be trying to get whilst 2 people seed it.

That is if they manage to crack it quickly. If.

Yeah god forbid he gets excited about a very promising game. Have fun this weekend it must be great to be able to belittle people on your spare weekends when 'real life' isn't stopping you from anticipating the release HL2. Only 30 hrs now. Not that I wont have class preventing me from the full release tomorrow.

In future posts try not to sound like such a prick.

I am ready for Half-Life 2 also... got a fridge full of coca cola as i don't drink alcohol  :laugh:

Why do you feel the need to tear som stranger down? What's he done to insult you" Maybe the dude just excited about the game?

I am quite excited too! And yes, I do have a wife, house, and a job I love. No I am not a millionaire (far from it) or the son of one. I still plan on playing HL2 the day it comes out. I worked an 11 hour day on Friday, even if release day is the same, I will still find time to play it. It is OK to be excited about a game.

Im pretty much doing the same thing but I have a life.

It's the holidays and and wont be working/schooling again till next years so I basically have all the time in the world to prepare and then play. That dosn't mean I will be sitting infront of my computer for 30 hours though lol.

Doing that would make the wait longer. I sugest you go do things to take your mind of it if its reall that bad.

Better yet, hibernate, then youll be able to play for 30 hours strait.

when its officially the 16th 12am pacific time the HL2 activation servers will be put onlne. No mater if you get a CD or get it on steam, it will be the same time, you can buy it at best buy now, install it now, but cant play it till the 16th after you activiate it over steam (this includes single player)

just got the Silver PAckage over steam as it costs the same as the collectors edition, and includes more games.

HL2 CS : S are finished downloading and played CS earlier.

So when is Half-Life 2 comming out over steam? The release date on IGN and EBGames is Nov 15th, which is tomorrow. Is there a specific time tacked on to that?

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
