Look people.....I am getting tired of coming here for 5 mins a day and I always see a new post where some 1 post headcrab says:

"I drove to the local EB Games in my oversized SUV and asked the clerk how long till Half-life 2 comes out and he looked at his computer and his computer is ALWAYS RIGHT of course so he looked back at me and said February 3, 2004 and told me that there is only one version. Then, I went and looked at the action figures because if you are in EB Games, you have to look at the action figures...they never really have the cool characters but they always seem to have a random Simpsons character. Also, I went back to see if I could find a game to tide me over until HL2 and I DIDNT SEE ONE. Then, I went to play the console games they had set up but they never have the best games set up to play...its always some crappy dirt bike or fighting game. There are always two 13 year olds constantly pressing punch kick kick kick kick kick kick kick and thats all they know how to do because they are freaking retards and they think they are good when they really just need to go home and play their crappy console games, not knowing that the PC OWNS. Then, you always have the employees at the game store that act like they know exactly what they are doing...and whats up with there never being any job openings at game stores? Also, I can't do this rant without saying what the hell is up with people going into stores to get games without knowing if its good or not. I stopped doing that 10 years ago! And whats the deal with people that go into EB Games and they want to get something but most of the stuff out there is total crap, except for BF1942, GTA games....etc."



Ok my rant went a little far but humorous too!

Anyway, THE GAME STORES DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. WHY TRUST A STORE EMPLOYEE WHEN YOU HAVE THE SOURCE- VALVE...ON THE INTERNET?
 
Hard to read, but i agree with you, even tho i haven't been here much (as a registered user) its pretty annoying.
 
Exactly... make this sticky... well the n00b headcrabs dont read stickys neway so forget it.

so no1 should buy hl2? no1 has played it untill they buy it.... even tho from info we know itll be a good game :bounce:
 
not all headcrabs are noobs, anyway nicely said man, i'm sick of this guessing shit they throw around
 
The only thing almost as bad as a delay thread is a 'stop posting about the delay' thread (oh and I suppose a Doom3 thread, too). :dozey:

I definately agree, though. Far too many people are coming onto the forums, posting about the "new news that EB told me about the delay", without checking beforehand, thinking they are doing everyone a favour. I guess, as a general rule, newly registered users should briefly read about a page worth of threads to get acquainted with the forum before posting anything.
 
My race is being discriminated against ;(

I've been posting here for a while and I'm still a headcrab, I wonder how many posts I've got left since they don't even let you see your post count anymore.

And of course this exact post was the difference between Headcrab and Zombie. I am no longer Headcrab forum n00b!
 
Dude no way I'm a headcrab and I know HL2 is coming out December 25, 2003. Don't mess I heard it from EB. =P
 
well fine....but remember i said "1 post headcrab"
 
Yeah, I'm only a headcrab, and I totally agree with the starter of this thread. EB games is not that great of a retailer people. They can tell you all they want regarding the release of HL 2, but the reality is that THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!! I RESERVED A GAME FROM THEM ONCE AND THE RELEASE DATE THAT THEY GAVE ME FOR THE GAME WAS FALSE!!! THE GAME ACTUALLY CAMEOUT A WEEK BEFORE THEIR RELEASE DATE!!! NEVER TRUST EB, OR GAMESTOP FOR THAT MATTER, WHEN IT COMES TO RELEASE DATES!!!
 
i wish i was a zombie... they have such nice white coats, :p

but yea, game stores arnt always reliable. i think they get mixed up with "release date" and "shipping date"
 
ya thats true but most here will get the game before september 30

I think anyone that's REALLY a fan of HL and Valve should wait until Sept. 30th (or whenever IF god forbid some delay happens it comes out) and just buy it. Why? So the game makers get money, and see how much everyone loves their stuff, and are both compensated and encouraged to make more. Simple concept, ne?

Sorry, just got done with an hour-long argument over the 'morality of software piracy.'

I AM NOT talking about piracy.

If you live in a town with a lot of stores that sell games- walmart, best buy, comp usa, circuit city, eb games, babbages..etc

Some of them have games out early. I got Vice City a day early at Circuit City...another guy got it 7 days early.

Also, the same with other games. Look on the shelves before September 30. DO NOT CALL THE STORE...they will just look in their computers and see the release date. If they do that then look and see it on the shelf, they will take it off the shelf...

This might not be the case but don't act like you know one way or another.

Ohhhhhh, heh, sorry. But honestly, that's normally the exception, not the rule, that's why the "most folks here" threw me, sorry ^^;
 
Registered Date usually means more than post count.
Huge post count + Registered this/last month = loser.

Actually, I think it just means spammer.

My post count would be a lot less if I actually had school to go to, but I'm not off to Uni for another 2 weeks so I'm just sat inside, bored.
 
i mean spammer rather than loser...

i used to post a lot when i first registered but it was a while ago so i just come to read mostly now, unless something is fnuny.
