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?

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
