[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.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
