And what will you do when you get HL2?

[tokin]

Well im praying the release date is still September 30th and HL2 is coming through mail to my house on the quickest day possible. (i dont remember what i selected but it was like $15 more) As soon as i get HL2 im going to hope its on a Friday since school is starting and then im going to load it on up, order a cheese pizza with a couple of cokes or BAWLS drinks. Then i shall set all the keys to what i want them at, and make start on the medium difficulity level, and play non stop until i get so tired or feel i need to stop. Ill be doing the same for DOOMIII, damn i cant wait until that comes out either. So what will you guys be doing? Locking your family out of your house? Buying a new computer soon? Skipping school to play it? Cheat your way through the whole game? Let your younger siblings watch you play through the game? (It's always better when you have someone watching with you)

 

[dawdler]

I will sit and watch the box, expecting a Strider to jump out of it. Failing that, I might be able to actually come to my senses long enough to install it...

 

[simmo]

Sept 30th is on a tue ;(

 

[Chris D]

When I get HL2 I'm going to play it

But yeah, probably similar to you.


I've worked hard this year, not going on holiday and got like 20 days holiday I can take before next May so I'm going to book a day off work when I find out the definite release date. I'll aim to get to the shop for 9ish, pay for it on my debit card and go home. It'll be installed by 9.40, playing it by 9.45 and will probably only stop to make lunch, grab a coffee and maybe a quick stint on the forum to say:

"OMFGZ TIHS IS TEH LEETESHT SHIT EVER!!!"!%£^&&(^)%*&*£$"&^%"^$&%^(*&^ omg ffs meh u silleh bitch tredosloppeh /me dies"

 

[thenerdguy]

whooo hooo
Ill bring the game to work

 

[Jagermeister]

First thing I'll do is open it, open it quickly, but carefully (don't wanna dent or crease the box) then install it, double click on the HL2 icon on my desktop, cross my fingers and hope it doesn't crash at launch. Then watch the intro(s), tweak settings, and start a "New game".

 

[dis]

I'll probably pull down my pants and shake my balls around. Ya know, just flap them around a bit to air them off after they've been getting so sweaty about HL2. Yeah, honest.


Actually, I'll probably just install it and play it to death till I beat it.

I'll touch myself while the game is installing.

I MEAN NO!

Is that supposed to eb an impression of big momma?

 

[dis]

What? Big Momma? I've never seen that movie. I try to stay away from anything with Martin Lawrence's name on it anymore. But to keep the thread on topic, the week before the definitive release date, I probably won't be able to think anything but HL2.


Edit: That's a good idea with the BAWLS. That stuff's good regardless of the amount of caffeine in it.

 

[Ahnteis]

Is this some kind of bizarre trick question? I'm pretty sure we'll all install it and play it. Maybe look through the manual. I doubt many of us will use it as a coaster and the number of people who will buy a copy in order to bronze it and put it above their fireplace is bound to be fairly small.

You sir are an IDIOT! right up there with Commando and that other jackass.
But as for your qustion, Ill go to a bathroom take a dump and wipe my ass with it.

 

[Morbo]

I'll probably die cuz my brain won't be able to deal with that amount of greatness. You'll find my cold dead body with a smile on my face and still hugging the preciousss preciousss box. If I don't die I will play till my beard covers my keyboard.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that giant walking testicle. Gonarch scared the crap out of me the first time I saw him. I almost didn't want to shoot him.

When I get HL 2, I will turn up all the settings to max and play it....only to realize that the 1.3GHZ processer can't handle the load! Then the game will crash and I will get a stange error message that says:

"ERROR! ERROR! YOUR COMPUTER IS TOO INFERIOR TO PLAY THIS GAME, GET ANOTHER ONE YOU TARD! HL 2 HAS PWNED YOUR COMPUTER! BWHAHAHAHAHA!"

And so on....

 

[dis]

How do you know it's a female? After all, it could be anything in dimension Xen - even having no gender. Or do they say in the game? I don't know, it doesn't really matter one way or the other.

:cheers:

 

[figge]

If i get it on a friday, i will get drunk, and play it when i get home...
...everything is so much cooler when u are drunk, even the ugly girls look good...
...and u don't need AA when drunk...

 

[Muchitsujo]

I believe I will play it, yes, I think that's what I'll do...
That is, of course, if I've gotten my new computer...stupid old computer...not good enough...crush it...hl2...damnit...

 

[RabidMeatloaf]

"You don't need AA when drunk." HA ha ha, I'll have to add that to my sig some time......

 

[DaLys]

I will install it, then join the best online server i can find and play some. Then i will look for a HL2 dedicated server for linux/FreeBSD and install it on my server and then i'm gonna play on my server 24/7.

 

[Xenome]

I'll will let a waiter serve the HL2 box on a golden plate to my computer,
after wich i will have a minute of silence, out of respect ;p
Then i will install it, reboot ( just to be sure ) , and start it.
I will click 'new game - medium difficulty', and i will have the best game-experience of my life( wich means that my halflife1 expierience is finally beaten ) I just can't wait to see how the story goes and stuff

 

[A2597]

lets see...
I'll be picking it up that friday. (Unless there are no quizzes, test, etc due that week)

installing, grab a 12 pack of coke and a 5 lb bag of pretzals.

 

[commando]

when i get the game FINALLY IN MY HANDS....

1) go to pc
2) open cd case
3) put in dvd rom
4) install
5) READ the lil book while wait (the book with how to install crap, about game and blah)

[Cheetarah654]

but if you read the little book you'll miss the screenshots they'll show while its installing!

 

[flupke]

I'll open my box, check out how many cd's there are, and softly get them out. Gently open the cd's & check for any scratches. Nervous as shit, i'll open my CD-Rom drive and insert my cd, checking it another time for scratches after i put it in my drive. Put it back in and wait for autorun. Hopefully i won't get sick if my autorun would suddenly be disabled. God, oh god. Install, enjoy, go to controls & video and more. Start the tutorial and play new game

lol this whole discussion is like cyber sex.... Ill slowly open the box, and then slowly and carefully take the cd's out and make sure i dont scratch them and then ill gentley put the cd in my dvd rom and just sperm all over the place...lol ok well maybe not that part..

 

[Rasmoh]

1) Open the box
2) Carefully place it in my cd-drive
3) Install
4) Wonder for 50 minutes if it's gonna be as good as all the hype made it to be
5) Play


:afro:

 

[Anthraxxx]

First thing I'm gonna do when I get the HL2 box in my hands......... I think I'll cry. Then I'm gonna rush home, read manual, install, play. It'll be sexxxy. I might have to break up with my girlfriend beforehand though because I will be spending all my time paying attention to HL2. Screw school.

 

[Guest]

I will probably play it.

 

[Chris D]

"Acidtrip: You sir are an IDIOT! right up there with Commando and that other jackass.

And you are? I think the general consensus in this thread is that we don't mind it and we're having a rather sensible discussion. Thanks for trying to ruin it. YOU sir are in fact an idiot. And those two are not jackasses. They're just... "special"

 

[Gunner]

First of all, I will turn off my cell phone, fax machine, and all the lights in the apartment. Second, I will move the coffee machine to my room. Third I will purchase 3 packs of smokes. Fourth, I will play the game on the hardest difficulty setting until my eyes go bloodshot and my brain grows a tumor and my behind is paralysed. There I think I summed it up pretty nicely

 

[barnett]

I will skin up on the box
