How, exactly, do you activate?

Well, how? I've got the hl2 silver account, and on the 16th, do i just double click hl2 and it'll activate?

I've heard crap about activation keys and cd keys.. i got nothing when i purchased it..

it will be same as with css, you push the button, steam unlocks it and you play

When it is ready to be unlocked, you just start up steam and it does it for you.

Will it be unlocked on the 15th ...then add hour an hour as needed depending on timezone?

It will be unlocked the 16th, at the very beginning of the day (00:00:00) for Valve time, which is GMT -8.

So if you live in GMT -5 (Eastern US) then it will unlock 3:00 AM on the 16th.

Soon as its November 16th you restart steam and "half-life2" will be under "my games" section and you can click and play on it.

strangely enough, I'm not even excited for HL2 anymore. Or anything for that matter. Ever since that fake gold episode I can't seem to get excited for anything, even this concert I'm going to tonight.

Maybe I just need to play HL2 and this tension will be gone, either that or I get laid.

well isnt it really 5 if you cant play?
