Yeah, but time is a perception, thats why I said it depends, he can work out what time it will be where he is... :hmph:

Which time zone are you in?

 

[Biggleska]

It's 8:00 AM GMT - 10:00 AM CET.

 

[Locust]

It will be 1Am where I live. Im thinking I can either stay up and be tired as hell in the morning, and even miss school or I could go to the important classes of the day and play at 3:30 on tuesday. Is it really worth it to miss important classes just so you can play a videogame?

 

[JamesPicard_007]

I'm planning to stay up very late tonight. That way when I get home from work tomorrow I'll be in a napping mood which will enable me to stay up late so I can play Half-Life 2 when it unlocks.

nope, just go to school, it will be waiting for you when you come back

 

[Ivan_B]

Hey becuase of vivendi,valve, and walmart you can get hl2 for free!!!

just follow these easy steps!!

1) buy game at walmart or some other store.

2) install register and wait..

3) return to store complain that game won't work, you don't know anything about having internet access to turn it on and demand money back..

4) store issues refund sends complaint back upwards..and you get the game.. Woohooo,, also just for a precaution take the stupid little white sticker with the sn off of the PAPER CD COVER..


I know this isn't really legal and all but some people really don't have the $50 bucks.. and vugames really does deserve it.. They really don't understand the market they rule. I mean come on paper cd cases?? no dvd in america?? $54.99?? no manual??? and 1/2 the people in the u.s.a use aol ok and the #1 game is the sims?? these people can't use the internet to turn on a game..hell sp2 will cause about 10billion service calls to vug alone..

 

[Annihilator_91]

Who cares about the final release date....? We'll get the game the 16th... End of story...

 

[johnnypoopoopant]

Edit: no wait im GMT-8, so its midnight for me
