I am mad i had a chance to get a copy of the game for 20 dollars and I passed it up less than 12 hours ago. If there were ascii art that could show my emotions it would be really big, complex, and a color never seen by man. Lucida console ofcourse. but for now I will go with a good old :angry: < should suffice. I am going to be skipping school 2 play. i skipped for halo 2. I skipped for nfs2. I skipped for like 3 other games. gawd dam i have only been to school 4 days this month due to new games. a;kslrjgh;aljsrhg. I;m going to fail because of the oveerload of actually good games coming out on a near weakly basis. I only miss school for 2 things sickness or mortal obligation. in this situation it is a combination of both. Somone slap some sense into me. :wacko:

yea Gabe isnt stupid, Valve know that millllllions of people are sitting here waiting to hit play, there will be god knows how many servers ready to handle it.

hahaha i told my CS 1.6 pro friend who hates source and HL2 that due to the bandwidth needs, all servers apart from HL2 are being shut off for two or three days.

haha hes ****ed off, he says he has a MGL match tomorrow hahaha

Unfortunately.

I don't even like Half-Life, I couldn't stand the original, but I hope this one is good for the simple fact that Doom 3 really shattered my expectations for looking forward to any game now. Also, the PC is in need of a good game, period. Not just one that RTS fans like, or RPG fans, or FPS fans...but everyone in general.

That is truly sad. The game will be there regardless of whether you play it now or tomorrow or the next day. To fail classes and ignore your everyday life is completely moronic.

I really hope the game is everything you expect it to be.

completely moronic? just because he wants to enjoy something he's waited a very long time for?

skipping a day of school will not make you fail....

and skipping skewl to play some HL2 is what God intended when skipping was invented...

i heard there was people at valve today getting in some last minute reviews as vavle doesnt send review copies out but will fly press in to review the game aperently everyone went home exept the reviewer and one guy to say behind with him. guess they must have it on an automaic 12am or valves has remote access to the turn on the hl2 authentication server  :cool:

I call BS. Absolutely no way they're just flipping a switch and heading home on the launch of the one of the most anticipated games of the year. I guarantee you the whole Value team is there waiting for Gabe to waltz over to his office to run the command that turns the activation servers on.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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.
