Why? Are you XXL?

 

[Hazar]

Yeah, old but important.

No headcrab plush doll? ;(

 

[punjabpolice]

blasted american pricing

 

[Ownzed]

The t-shit is probably big to fit Gabe.

 

[destrukt]

why are all the gaming shirts always huge.

 

[Yombi]

Why? Are you XXL?

har-de-har-har...

it's more like it will be 10x to big for me.... no need for smartass bloody comments

 

[Asuka]

Again this is like 4th - 5th time its been posted.

Then it will fit. It will just be baggy.

EDIT: And some people have this weird vision of Extra Large shirts being the size of a house. There're not. I wear extra large shirts but even when I was (a lot) thinner, I still wore "Large" and an extra large would've just been a bit baggy.

Remember, a skinny person can wear an XL shirt. A fat person can't wear a M shirt.

 

[OZi]

New to me! Thanks for the info!

 

[BetaMaster]

I thought the title said "Half-Life 2 Collectors Special/Collectors Edition Contest!!!!" I almost had a heart attack.
Needless to say, I ended up learning something. Two things, actually. One was the contents. The other was how to stop a heart attack before it begins.

 

[Danimal]

New to me... Thats because I am not a die-hard fan

And Yombi I dont think feath meant to say your fat or anything (sorry for ruining the argument if there was one) anywho I might not get the CE :'(

True.gah

 

[waylander5]

But will the regular edition have CS: S and HL:S on it?
I wouldn't buy the CE just for the book and shirt!

 

[songwriter]

What a Massive disapointment. Hardly any surprises really?! T shirt and a Book. Woo.

No keyring? No behind the scenes Doct? No dolls? No stickers? The possiblities were endless. This forum came up with some GREAT ideas. Maps of City 17. The Plush Doll. Loads...But. Never mind.

Hey I only where a large, and thats still rather big on me, hey an im 6'2 its not an easy feat to say nonetheless.
Trying to lose weight:
Tip 1 : Get off your fat ass
Tip 2 : Drink diet cola (trust me it helps)
Tip 3 : You dont have to eat everytime you feel hungry trying only eating rationally at meals.
Tip 4 : Eat even a light breakfast like 1 piece of toast and a diet coke, it goes a long way. It boosts metabolism.
Tip 5: Do manual labor... I know it may be a problem for most of you that are stuck to the computer seat, try moving some mulch for about 5-6 hours even if its only on the weekends, or push mow your neighborhood or something.

Sorry to anyone that is actually active and does not sit infront of a computer 24/7. Trust me, its possible to fit into an xl shirt.

- Counter-Strike: Source – The next generation of the #1 online action game
- Half-Life: Source – Digitally remastered version of the original critically acclaimed PC game

These are also with the standard edition... well thats the impression I got...

 

[MoD]

XL wont fit me. i'm too big for it :<

 

[soccerdude21490]

1.) The Reason they are always XL is because that can really fit any person (unless your really that big... andif you are... you have some issues you need to work out)
2.) Yea HLS and CSS will be with the standard edition as in you will have to go to some site and downloaded it then. I guess in here its built right in with the Setup (so you don't have to go downloaded it for all the lazy people out there... GO LAZY PEOPLE!!!!)
3.) I WANT A FREAKIN PLUSH TOY! I WOULD PAY THE $30 MORE JUST FOR THE PLUSH TOY... and hey that box is pretty hott lookin too... I'll just buy the other boxes off of ebay or some person (I want all the boxes...why... I dunno.. cause I'm wierd)

 

[Hazar]

My guess is that EB games is just guessing and there will be more included.

There better be.....

 

[soccerdude21490]

yea there better be... lets all email Valve and demand for production of Plush Toys!!! I mean seriousy it costs a whole what... $2 to make one? They could sell it for lik $10 and with the community they have they could make a HUGE profit!

 

[SFLUFAN]

Could we get the plush toys over Steam by any chance?

 

[soccerdude21490]

THAT IS A VERY HUGE POSSIBILITY!!!! Wow... delivering Plush Toys through an Internet Client... wow... its 12AM... time to go to bed :cheers:

 

[john41]

I was under the impression that the CS:S would be the only thing included with the regular edition.

Can anyone confirm that HL:S will come with the regular edition?
(I mean with proof of some sort)

 

[SFLUFAN]

I was under the same impression as well. But I'd be very happy to be proved wrong!

 

[johnnypoopoopant]

i thought you could pick which box yuo wanted, the g-man or alyx but i gues im wrong

 

[Ownzed]

That's only for the Normal version of HL2, not the CE. By the way, you forgot Gordon.

 

[Biozeminade]

XL = A shirt that is too big for me = a night shirt = a shirt that I can wear sitting at the computer all night playing Half-Life 2.

The question is, should I have underwear on underneath?

 

[Mattigus]

This is news to me, but I'm not really that dissapointed. This is what I expected (minus the T-Shirt, actually.)
