well your folks are right. grades are more important. you don't want to risk your grade for a few hours of gameplay you can play after the test do you?
Oh Noes! You can't play HL2 the minute it comes out. Come on, there are more important things that HL2.
And no, I'm not playing HL2 the minute it comes out. I probably won't be able to set enough time aside to play it till the weekend. I don't care though.
PS - I do find it funny that you hate math but you like using numbers in place of words.
I plan on gathering my food and drink during the install. I'll have to get a "Beer Hat" during play though. Can't take my hands off the KB/Mouse just to get drunk! ;-) j/k.
I can almost see my wife's eyes rolling when I start off to the store to buy the game. Will be like an hour drive to get it. Shoot, I better get the pre-order!! 8-O
Yo man, you got like 2weeks to revise for that test. Just make your parents see you revising for it now, then when Hl2 is released, you can play it on the day. I doubt your parents will let you play all day, but you'll get to play a couple of hours atleast.
