Yeah, hit Valve where it hurts, don't have any fun with the game and try to dislike it as hard as you can, that'll teach 'em for delaying a game, they should have just brought out an unfinished product!

Well I thought that reassuring us in september about the release date meant that it was finished !
Either they are stupid, or just a bunch of lying sons of bitc... RIGHT ???
 
Probably go for a shit, I always need to shit when I get excited......

then rape some n00bs online ;)
 
Seems a lot of classrooms will be empty the day after the game comes out! :E

Anyway I think I won't be doin' anything special - just making sure nobody can disturb me for the next 4 hours... ;)

Well... I used to work at a movie theater and im still good friends with the manager who is also a hl nut. We are gona hook my pc up to the projector "not the regular one for movies but one that can outbut dvi" and the plug my audigy 2 into the sound system " still dont know how hes gona do it" but it will be awsome. Ill be the first person possibly besides gabe and them to play halflife 2 on a movie screen. After that we are gona fallow it up with a 32 man lan or 2 16 men lans for hl2 depending on what the limits are for the game.

Im interested to see what you guys are planing. What are your BIG plans for HL2.

Or

Since their are like 6 good games coming out within 2 weeks, what are your plans on that?

Hey man can you please borrow a camera if you don't have one, and video it. I want to see this.
 
I most likely will not be able to get the game for a while, so the day it comes out (if it comes out in May) will be spending the day in bed with my lovely bride (getting married May 1st :D)

Oooooh, that's gotta suck!
 
Hehe yah, I have paid $50 for the game, $200 for a graphics card so it will run and $80 for RAM and I still have to share the game :p
 
1.)Go to the gaming shop. Break the speed limit.
2.)Run in, grab HL2, look at the price for about .0001 seconds and pay.
3.)Get in my car, grab HL2 out of the bag. Smile at the HL logo.
4.)Rip the box open, stare at the CD, then look at the manual.
5.)Drive home, stop to read the manual at every red light/stop sign
6.)Break the speed limit again.
7.)Get home, run into my room, close the door, turn out the lights, turn up the spekers.
8.)Install the game, read the manual while waiting
9.)Skip registration
10.)Start the game
11.)Play the hazard course
12.)Grab a couple cokes and some snacks.
13.)Start single player.
14.)Embrace....

Yeah, a damn short time... But you know what? I'm 100% sure it won't ship on a Friday - so that I'd buy it in the evening, immediately after leaving the office, and go through a 48-hour playing session without sleeping :E; I'm sure it will ship on a Monday or Tuesday (September 30th 2003 was a Tuesday!) and all that I will be able to do is playing until midnight or something. You can easily imagine how painful it's gonna be telling myself: "OK, I'll stop as soon as I complete this level - tomorrow morning I'll have to get up at 6.00 and my boss won't be happy if I'm late..." :rolling:

u better go to the store and wait there for like 3 hours before its opening so ur sure a copy of the game will still remain 4 u...or just preorder it.

i think when i will receive HL2 my hands will be shaking like hell...i mean ill wanna play it as soon as possible but also look at the box and cd for a loooong time and also i have to be VERY careful with it. man is this game gonna be huge.
 
I'll get it, install it, configure it, and play SP, then when im done ill move onto mp and mods.

I'm not gonna be playing hl2 3 days in a row with no sleep
 
I wrote a little (well actually fairly long) "procedure" on what to do when HL2 hits the shelves. I will try to see if I can find it and post it...

Awesome! Shuzer dug it up for me from a forum I was banned from. (Can you believe they don't even let you view the boards?)
Enjoy...

The Half-Life 2 Procedure By: Vegeta897

Section A-Travel
1. Buy a $300,000 car.
2. Drive to Best-Buy in your new car, accompanied by 4 armed body guards.
3. Drive right into the store and park in the adjacent aisle to HL2.
Section B-Pre-Buying Rituals
1. Give Valve and Havok $5,000,000 each.
2. Walk (with your body guards) to the end of the HL2 aisle.
3. Praise the Lord
4. Crawl on your knees bowing every 2 feet, up to the blessed HL2 box.
5. Kill your body gaurds with a machette.
6. If anyone comes with-in a 30 foot radius of you or the box, slay them said machette. (Do not clean between kills)
7. Smell the box, study the box, greet the box, BE the box.
8. Extend the radius to 50 feet.
9. Touch the box, but try not to faint. (If you do, go back to step 7, Section B.)
10. Grab it, hold it, caress it.
Section C-Buying and leaving
1. Take it to the clerk. Pay him $300. Do not take change. (Time is of the essence!)
2. Do not take the receipt, you won't need it.
3. Hop back into your car, and drive home as fast as you can, ignoring any and all traffic laws. (Your copy of HL2 should be implanted into your bladder, sealed by a diamond case)
Section D-Game Installation
1. Go to your computer.
2. Taste the box, and savor the sweet flavor.
3. Open the box, and smell the inside, but DO NOT touch!
4. Slowly pull out the manual. Every inch you must watch the entire 25 minute HL2 preview.
5. Memorize the manual and write it on an 8.5x11 piece of paper in english and dutch. Eat it.
6. Now would be a good time to admire the box art. Draw it with atleast 14 different medias.
7. Look into the box, and locate the CD case.
8.Wash your hands, wear gloves, and clasp your hand onto the CD case.
9. Taste the box. (If you've lost the flavor)
10. Watch the HL2 trailer again.
11. Slowly pull it out, and watch the trailer every centimeter. (12.32763932 times)
12. Get someone to read these instructions to you. (You went blind) (Oh yes you did!)
13. Wait until you have your vision back, and study the case art. Draw it with 15 different medias.
14. Lock your door, and open the case.
15. Take a moment to admire it's glow.
16. Buy the most expensive CD drive money can buy.
E. Installation
1. Put the first CD in the drive.
2. Go through the install wizard. Read every word, including the liscence agreement. Write a couple essays on it.
3. Install it to a secret directory. (I.E. C:\Don't look here\Half-Life 2)
4. When it asks for CD 2, go to step 1, section E, but with CD 2.
5. Same with CD 3.
6 Realise that you got the wrong game, and go back to step 1, section A. (And get the right game!)
7. An autorun should open.
Section F-Setup
1. Select "Play" from the autorun menu.
2. The game will open up, various company logos will appear.
3.Set all the options to what you want, but don't go crazy.
Section G-PLAY!!!
1. PLAY!!!
2. Don't take any brakes or do anything else.
3. When you are done, it would be a good time to die.
-END-

hm, not bag veggie...not bad. i dont quite understand a few steps but anyways.

oh n u should have replaced that machette with a crowbar :sleep:
 
Its probably gonna be like the film 2001 with the monkey going to touch the monolith... I'm afraid to touch the box now :eek:

My god! Its full of shaders!
 
im sorry vegeta, but thats just too much fooling around. If I can't play HL2 within the first 5 minutes of getting home, Id go insane.
 
As soon as I get my hands on HL2, i'm going to:

Clear all the crap off my desk.

Place HL2 box in pride of place

Place snacks, drinks etc. within easy reach

Push anyone who happens to be in the house downstairs, and lock the door (suffer the consequences later)

Turn up volume

Run Scandisk

Take deep breaths

BEGIN
 
When HL2 comes out I probably have to wait for 4-6 weeks (as my coupon from my rad. 9600XT says) before I actually have the game. And then I will probably know about half the game from looking at screenshots, video's and hearing experiences. Man that is going to suck.

Yeah... Why did you have to go and buy a 9600XT? ;)

/me dies of jealousy about your graphics card

/me laughs that you have to wait for HL2

/me feels confused...

And now for the real point of this post... Im a manhack!
 
Bose speakers are horrible. They are the biggest scam in the industry.

I envy you so much. You sure are lucky! :D

What I'm gonna do is clean up all this crap off my desk like the other dude said.. Run defrag and scandisk. Jam the door and the window, turn all lights off and crank up the volume and subwoofer to the extreme, maybe plug my stereo-speakers to the comp and then: Have a little fun, so to speak :D
 
Here is my prediction for HL2's release for me....

HL2 comes out, it's a week from payday and I'm broke. Payday comes, I buy it, it won't run well at all on my computer because I haven't had the money to upgrade it yet. 4 weeks later I've finally upgraded my computer and am ready to play but am not as excited about it because I tainted the experience attempting to play it pre-upgrade, and have read and seen almost everything exciting about the game online in the meantime.

I go to try multiplayer and everyone else is well practised. They know all the maps and are experts with all the new weapons. I get my ass kicked so bad that I'm turned off of multiplayer for a long time.

Oh the depression.

Sign my petition for Valve to release HL2 in 2005instead.
:p
 
I woulda died of laughter if you actually took the time to make a petition :p

Anyway. I have it all planned.
I'm gonna go to the store, buy a copy, get on the bus faster than lightning, sit on the bus and read the manual, every word even the credits, come home, install, read the manual while it installs, then play.

My computer is all upgraded with a 9800 pro, p4 3ghz, 512 mb ram, everything i need, nice soundsystem, lots of disk space. Man it's going to be sweet.

Big plans:
Make some maps with hammer to test out physics and shit, help make a mod, mostly multiplayer oriented stuff.
Maybe even make a HL2 fansite along with the mod, and release new maps and content.
 
I will be waiting for our lazy coders to implement weapons into the mod and then maybe sleep or something.
 
probably buy it and then play it, that would be pretty special.
btw, love the Avatar Ank
 
I won't even play Singleplayer and maybe not even Multiplayer either... just start work on my mod :D
 
would you have to look through the tiny window or could you sit in the seats? how could it reach? ??

You won't have to wait. You'll be able to play the game the moment it comes out because you have a CD-Key that came with your 9600XT which you will be able to use to activate a copy of HL2 that should already be preloaded (Through Steam) onto your computer and play the game. I purchased Condition Zero in stores for $20 USD and then went home, clicked on the CZ icon in Steam, selected the second option (I've already purchased the game and would like to enter my CD-Key) and then played... no install necessary. I bought a 9800XT the day it was in stores (At Best Buy) and have been saving my key for it although I'm going to BB to buy the boxed copy the day it comes out as well and I'll send away for my boxed copy using the coupon and save that copy forever, not opening it.

As for what I'll do that day when HL2 comes out, call in sick at work, install and play the game in peace with no one home. Play some Multiplayer at night and then play every day after that until I beat the single player game and then play just Multiplayer.
 
Ummmm... I'll install it.... play it... clean the drool off my keyboard..... and play it some more....

I am going to not buy Half Life 2 when it comes out. So I can be a tortured artist and lament over not having it.
Click to expand...
If you really want to be tortured....

Muahahahahahaha...
 
When it eventually does come out...

All im gunna do is buy the game (duh) and lock myself away from the rest of the world for like 2 weeks.I'll stock up on food n everything tehe its like hibernation but better!! :cheese:


I'm also guna have the sound up on fully so i can hear the surround sound in all its glory :E
 
1.wake up at midnight and do a little dance
2. go back to sleep cause stores aren't open yet
3.buy, play, lose any concept of a life i once had
 
ill drive to the store and pick up hl2, come home, watch tv while it installs.

then ill play SP for 2 hours or so, take a break, maybe play some MP, then get back to SP.

*gasp*
You would watch TV while HL2 installs? If I sit watching it for an hour I might see a screenshot! And you'd take a break? What is this break you speak of? Until your eyeballs actually bleed there's no way you can call yourself a HL2 fan.
 
Ill bug my dad till he drives me into town.

then ill spend the journey convincing him i always knew Hl2 would rock and i never lost faith.... :naughty:

buy the game and run to the car.

go home sit on my chair for a half hour and breath deeply.

maybe log on to some of my forums and brag about having the game.

then install and orgasm....

i mean play..... :LOL:
