No need for the video now, Gabe sent a reply to my e-mail, asking us all for patience in these trying times (haha that sounds so stupid).
SO! On the bright side of things, I finally get to post in the "Info from Valve only!" forum! yay!
To everyone else:
Last night I was in the IRC channel with everyone else as we chatted about the delay. Munro came on, we got word that he received no e-mail, so we all assumed that it was a hoax after all, since the mail SHOULD have been sent to Munro (as hl2.net is like Gabe's favorite hl2...
Remember last night when you said you could get us a video of Gabe telling us all whether or not the game was delayed?
Can we have that video now? :bounce:
If HL2 was going to be released on October 13th and Valve says "yeah, that's a holiday release, it counts!" then that would be the funniest move I have ever seen a company make. Plus, it would make sense, since for so long Valve thought it would reach the Sept. 30th date, if there was any delay...
Oh man, that's hilarious how I made this exact same type of post last night during the delay hubbub and all I got were compliments and people agreeing with me, no moderators yelling at me, sheesh.
Guess I gained respect or somthing :D
Awww damn, my speculation about how since Munro didn't get a mail then that had to have been a fake, but I guess I was wrong, sorry for the false hope guys :(
eh... *goes back to being a lurker*
To you people making up statistics.
TAKE A COLLEGE STATISTICS CLASS PLEASE.
Only one person, since the beginning of this whole brew-ha-ha, has actually gathered data to see what people are actually thinking. On a random 2 choice poll, it turns out that:
55% of people think the e-mail...
I think this picture lets us all know what Doug would look like if he did indeed make this announcement so late at night without allowing replies through e-mail.
Otherwise, it's just cookie monster! :dork:
This seriously is a hilarious thread. Three people just turned ant lion, my avatar (which I started using on all forums back in January) is making people laugh, and I get a feeling that if I say
Gee I wish I were an ant lion!
I just might get my wish!
Hey guys it's been fun, but now that there's an official announcement about the delay, I'll probably be finding better things to do until the "holiday season".
Thanks for all the fun, this forum is great. I'm sure my message is equaled by the huge spike of people who joined in the recent...
Reasons why I'm not really believing the whole pre-load of HL2 onto steam a week before release thing.
I know Gabe told Spitcodfry directly about this, but remember back when someone e-mailed Gabe asking about the Alcatraz event and Gabe didn't have any idea what he was talking about? And...
SL is far from being The Sims and it's pretty much impossible to get boring fast (which completely describes The Sims)
FYI my name is Dave Zeeman in the game, so if you knew me/know me lemme know who you are :cheese:
