What are all ya'll doing while you wait?
I took day off today. Playing a bit of wc3 atm. Bored really.... post something entertaining to do while we wait! Oh yes, lets all go on the hl2.net beef servers... mabey admin can pword it? and we can have a gaint forum game. I'll be like 0-20, havn't played a fps in over a year(lost my hl1 cdkey and i just figured i'd wait for hl2 ). Anyway post your thoughts and time updates.

 

[we11er]

I would probably have preloaded and will have bought the game this evening and will have played CS:S this evening if I had a credit card, and a net connection that doesn't drop every 5 mins, stopping all steam downloads (including preload).

Not a happy bunny

edit: there shouldnt be a countdown.. because in all valve likelyness , its going to be late/delayed.

 

[Letters]

I'd go to the hl2.net servers if they weren't in Europe.

 

[Xac493]

That sucks.... get a friend to burn to cd for you? I'm giving my rents the cash and there putting it on thier card..

 

[NB.]

I make it 2 hours 40 minutes give or take.

And what am i doing while i wait? I am making a 1/8th scale replica of the Flying Scottsman from Tortellini pasta and pigeon droppings.

 

[f|uke]

Oh well. I'll get to play it in about 5 hours.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's GMT+1 = 20:00 ?? GMT+2 would be 21:00 ...

 

[Mr. Redundant]

well if you consider 22 old, hehe.
yeah its europe.. and I only ever really listenend to that song
in fact by some strange co-incidence I was listening to it when I opened up this thread.

 

[NB.]

Nope PST is GMT+ 8hours, so if its released 11am PST, thats 7pm GMT

 

[Dracontopes]

Yeah 7pm {GMT}, so 8pm {GMT+1} and 9pm {GMT+2}, right? :S

 

[NB.]

Oh yeah sorry i see what you were saying, i misread your post.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

luckily Im on PST and it is 8:34AM here, so in another 2 hours and 26 minutes exactly.


that is assuming, there is no delay and Valve actually make it available.

 

[ministry]

right ...

 

[PatPwnt]

What are we counting down to?!

 

[Dracontopes]

What are we counting down to?!

The second coming of Christ! :imu:

[Mr. Redundant]

that is actually pretty cool.
what instrument do you play? (or vocals)

 

[Analognovelist]

Man... The very fiber of my being is going to be ripped asunder by the shear excitement welling up inside me... (Some... emoticon that applies or something)

lol i couldnt resist playing that legend of a song a few hours ago. anyway.....officially.....2hrs and 15mins left!!! wohoooo

rofl if valve dont release this, even though doug himself said it would be today, then valve would have ALOT to say sorry about...and i would bomb their hq :E

 

[Analognovelist]

wait.. were my time calculations off? It is coming out in like.. 15 minutes right.. because... yah..

 

[Analognovelist]

Oh I see..... I AM an ass... good to know

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

lol nice posts Analognovelist

 

[PatPwnt]

Can someone please tell me what we are counting down to?

 

[Dracontopes]

CS:S (and all HL2 packages)

 

[mustard2004]

Pat - the countdown is to when you can pre-order HL2 through steam and play CS : S

 

[CptStern]

that is actually pretty cool.
what instrument do you play? (or vocals)

I played bass guitar ...although I havent touched it in over 10 years

 

[Headwires]

HL2 and mods to be available to buy off steam. but only CSS is available to play 2nite

 

[Analognovelist]

Does anyone wonder how someone can navigate these forums and still have so little information. Like.. I wonder if they just close their eyes and random click their mouse... Then... after a while.. They open their eyes and starting asking questions in whatever forum they end up in. Not only is this is a possible scenario... I'd go so far as to say its likely

 

[Headwires]

lol thats a good theory, but in reality there just nubs

 

[Mr. Redundant]

I played bass guitar ...although I havent touched it in over 10 years

thats awesome, my brother just recently started in on his own bass, and Im getting some cash together for a decent pair of drums (tbh though I dont reall have space for drums in my current apt.)
I have played drums for a couple months (on my friends set)
but I have wanted drums since I was a lil kid in South Africa.

 

[PatPwnt]

I actually do close my eyes click random threads. It's the fun way to to do forum trolling. It brings suspense...

 

[trylle]

Yeah 7pm {GMT}, so 8pm {GMT+1} and 9pm {GMT+2}, right? :S

Hell, I don't know. JohnB in this thread seemed to know his stuff, so I based my calculations (that is, that valve actually meant PDT instead of PST) on that. Daylight saving is a bitch. Still seem to get the same results as people in PST, though ;P.
