The official HL2 countdown thread

i have arranged 2 days off, if i play it for 48 hours solid anyone wanna give me a medal?
 
I live in Japan,

So all the countdown clocks say -1:30 hours!!
Should be unlocked, right ? :p
 
I'm taking Friday off because I have a couple days to use up before the end of the year. No, I won't play it straight thru, because then you have nothing left to do if you beat the game in a couple days. An hour a day spreads things out.

If you notice, the kiddies who beat the game after playing straight thru, and usually the ones who complain.

WOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

thx, now i can start counting the seconds :E
 
Let us come back to the wonderful concept of TIME ZONES.
In short: Aussies play it first. When they buy it in a shop. Which keeps the release data and hour. What they won't.

AAAAAHHHHHH one day left. More or less.
 
if you're going to the wonder of time zones, people who live in the same timezone as Valve, PST, will play Half Life 2 tonight at midnight, those of us in GMT will play it tomorrow morning at 8am. People in australia will have to wait until tomorrow evening so they can unlock it when they get back from shcool/work.

And yet we all get to play it at the same time.
 
Darn, got important class from 8AM - 12AM (with HL² @ 9AM overhere).
Gonna be hell, those hours sitting there knowing you could be playing.

it's the same amount of time for everyone... no matter where they are. Unless they're in a close orbit around a black hole or other such extreme mass object (no Gabe jokes please) but regardless, while the persoanl experience may chande relative to your timezone (americans play it tonight at midnight, I'll play it tomorrow morning at 8am, you might play it tomorrow evening at 6pm) the time to wait it the same.

Did I stress the point too much? ;)
