Interesting rumor. I didn't know testing would be done in Republic of Ireland.

Ha ha. That's great.

VU Tester 1: "Right, we have the Half-Life 2 RC, let's get testing!"
*short pause*
VU Tester 1:"Actually I think we've forgotten something."
VU Tester 2:"You did remember to buy a computer to test it on, didn't you?"
VU Tester 1: "Oh... dammit".

9800 PRO?? lmfao...they wouldnt just be using 9800's they'd have an array of cards i think, ranging from dx6 pee-wee things, to the latest uber 6800Ultras a x800 XT PE's.

They could be throwing a presentation, or something.

Hello there,

I've just got this one question for you. At which Vivendi

branch is HL2 being tested? Is it being tested in France itself, or
another
branch in another country? Thanks and congrats on your (impending)
completion of HL2!

With Regards,
-----, Singapore

So that Ireland source was bullshit I guess.
