Dealing with release date disappointment is difficult. May I suggest the following to get you through:
---------------------
1. Go watch this again: http://www.planethalflife.com/half-life2/delaymovie/
2. Heal your soul by apologizing to Fragmaster for all those ugly things you said about him. Then tape his picture to the dart board and throw, throw, throw because, curse it all, he was right.
3. Read this thread: Release Date Rage
4. Do what Gabe would do: Go to McDonalds. Get a Meal. SUPERSIZE IT. Eat it. Repeat till you feel better.
5. Read this thread from a while back when rumors first started flying:
Top 10 Reasons for HL2 Delay
6. Play HL1 to remember why you liked Valve in the first place.
7. Get HALO for PC. Invite 3 friends who have never played FPSs for a LAN party. Make them name their avatars Gabe, Doug, and Steam. OWN THEM ALL.
8. Go to Planet Duke and realize that there are people WAAAY worse off than you. If that doesn't work, go find someone who still thinks Prey is in development.
9. Help the development of Steam by setting all your games to autoupdate. Delete cache files every day.
10. Call Spitcodfry's mom and arrange a visit to his house. Say, "Uncle Spit, tell me the one where you visited Valve again." Make him tell you again and again until you're convinced that the folks at Valve really are nice people.
Whatever you do, don't despair. Put the gun away. Quit swearing at the computer. Turn off the computer. Go outside. It's a nice day.
