I'll be 25 in Feb. I guess I should uninstall HL2 and all my other games on my birthday then? I say 16 is too old to still watch tv, so everyone over 16, destroy your tv's!!!!
Since Valve hasn't met a release date yet, and CS:S was pushed back a week, isn't it only reasonable to believe HL2 will not preload on the 17th (and start preloading on the 24th).
Also why would they preload CS:S on the 16th and HL2 on the 17th, and have the CS:S beta going on. Bandwith is...
