[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

I can't wait to play this game, soooo close. Staying up until the Unlock time won't be a problem for me, I've consistently stayed up until 6 or 7 in the morning each night for the past two weeks playing WoW :D

Hopefully they'll unlock it at exactly 12am,

Might as well post this.

I figured they wouldn't release early, and for one, Im kinda glad. I have a huge exam on Monday, and HL2 would destroy all hopes of me studying for it. :p

:unsure:

lol! yeah! heh..... at least if the guy could play it... maybe then it would be worth it (hmmm... maybe not) but know he got fired for NOTHING....heh

I went over to my local gamestop to see if they had it in. They had it in back and I asked the counter guy if he would sell me one early and his response was, "if you have $25,000." So I reserved it and I will pick it up Tuesday, it's not that long of a wait.

Is the $25,000 some kind of fine he is speaking of?

No, but the $25,000 should hold him over till he finds a new job, if he were to sell it to you.

You should say "Ok". Then write a fake check for $25,000 signing it as "John Carmack" and give it to him. As you hand him the check quickly grab the bag out of his hand and run as fast as you can out of the store to your mom's minivan idling in the parking lot. Jump in the side door of the minivan and then tell her to floor it like she would if she was driving you to soccer practice.

I intended sarcasm when I posted about the $25,000

Actually my mom does have a minivan, but I am 27 and don't ride with her nor go to soccer practice.

I want to go back to gamestop and ask them if they have the information on my Castle Wolfenstein 3D pre-order. Every time I ask about it they say it comes out on January 23 1992, but they can't find anything about my preorder. So I said screw it and I will just buy it on the day it drops. I am trading SpaceQuest, Chuck Yeager's Flight Combat, and King's Quest 3 for it. Do you think I will get much for those? Or should I trade in something else?

It was a hypothetical situation and you are never too old to have your mom drive you to soccer practice! ;) I was joking earlier.

@Ateoto: Nope. But someone did take the last Sprite in the soda machine today. ******s. That is why Gordon Freedman carried a crowbar around his workplace. How am I supposed to work under these conditions? No daily Sprite and the seconds are counting down HL2 day. And I keep staring at Ateoto's sig like it is the New Years day countdown. I am going nuts.

jmole, you sir have made my day! :)

and Tarrmachine you are right along with him

I've read rumors that bestbuy has 'ok'ed the sale of the game today. Haven't confirmed it yet becuase my bestbuy isn 't open, I doubt it will be on sale thoe. But that won't stop me from checking soon as they open.

Im sceptical becuase if bestbuy has oked the sale then why doesn't the bestbuy.com website show it being out?

No idea how true it is. No confermations yet. Ill let you guys know about my local bestbuy and when I get back depending on weather or not they are selling it im going to call another bestbuy near me. I dont' mind going to besbtuy I mean its bestbuy.... I can gawk at what I can't buy.

2 Months is an exaggeration. :p The Phase 7 was not long ago! Unless you're talking about CS:Source.

Its a big deal because half the lot dont know you can get it online, and probably stuck with the old version of Half Life 1. Sad but true -Metallica.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
