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?

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).
    • I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
