yeah man, lol some guy earlier was all.. this site might as well go down everything else has been going wrong today..

AND IT DID

hahahahaha
 
Heh yeah, I remember reading some guy saying "everything is going wrong today, the only thing that would be worse is if these forums went down", and they did. Weird.
 
Um, I JUST made a post in this thread and jumped above everyone elses... Heh. Made that post at 10:29 PM EST, and it says 10:17.
 
after waking up to realize it was sept 30th and that hl2 would not be comming out, i was also to find that our beloved hl2.net was down!!! thanks goodness its back, but alas..no benchmark...
 
Yeah, dude... that was crap... nothin' today... NOTHIN'... and it felt kinda weird writing the date... 9/30/03 (or 30/9/03)...
 
This post was made at 10:40 PM EST. Lets see where the server decides to put it!
 
I thought something major went down here and caused a mass server overload and crashed the site.
 
The CountDown says 2 hours and 27 mins left... Looks like its in suspended animation.

once again valve lies to its fans, can u say deja vous?
 
whoo, its back. i thought some crazy conspiracy took place here... i mean, 9-30 and then HL2.net server goes down. hmmm...
 
Hah, hilarious. 30/9/03 is how non-americans do the dates, and in that case, it would be a palindrome, but in america, where valve is housed, it's 9/30/03, which isn't a palindrome, so we really don't care :cheers:

Strange day indeed, but I would wait until 8pm PST to see if there's a benchmark, otherwise, I'm e-mailing Gabe with a simple yes or no question: "Will the public be able to use the HL2 benchmark within' the comming week." Cuz he likes to answer my simple short quick questions :D
 
Anyone visited the ATi site today? They have a page with a vid window titled "Launch Event Feed". So far, however, its been whited out.
 
hmmm interesting...they also have some hl2 info about it being bundled with the new cards

hmmm interesting indeed.... oh wait.... read planethalflife.com's news. HL2 is not comming out any earlier, the video cards are being packaged with vouchers for the game when it eventually gets released (probably november).

oh sorry for sounding offensive, that came out really wrong. just saying that if anyone here is getting any more false hope from this new bundle deal, don't bother.
 
Let me guess, you loaded Hl2.net and it said on the homepage "Something went wrong"?
Then you were like "No shit! lol!"
 
i loaded halflife2.net and it said on the homepage "something went wrong" i was like NO SHIT lo
 
Edit: Hey, how did my post get on the top? :confused:

Bastard, i cant post before people!

Look at your own local time, then look at the post times, you should be able to sneak a few in that way ;)
 
The server went down cause they were sending hl2 via steam to halflife2.net
 
Yes, it went down.
Here's the thread with my prediction on page two.
http://www.halflife2.net/forums/sho...10300&perpage=40&highlight=crash&pagenumber=2

Can you believe it?
Here's a recap of the wonderful sept 30th on the east coast.
Bluesnews doesn't update until late in the afternoon.
No news on the benchmark anywhere.
FS has no new stories until late in the afternoon.
The entire morning and early afternoon has no news.
Then I post saying the day blows and all we need is this site to go down and bam, it's gone and so is Tribalwar.

You couldn't have scripted it any better.
