Man that's a good idea, hadn't thought of that! Besides who wants to hang around here if they have HALF-LIFE 2 IN THEIR OWN HOMES!!!11!1!
 
I'll have it at 2pm on Teusday, get home, PRAY there isn't any homework, install...play....

Did I mention I'll be locking myself in my room with a 24pack of Pepsi and a few bags of chips?
 
well im going to be getting half-life at lunch at eitehr futureshop or walmart. Got to love having thos stores only a minute away from school lol. Then im going to get home as fast as a ican (even tho the bus takes awhile) and playing none stop. If i have homework that day well i guess im just not doing it :cheese:
 
Well, i feel sorry for all you people in countries that arent australia. The game for me is released DURING the holidays! Ahahahhaha, oh yessss. i think i have about 5-6 days of solid play, then another 7 days if school doesnt look to interesting.:-D
 
I'm thinking about skipping on Sept 30th, it depends what lessons I have. I've pre-ordered HL2 though, I could skip on the 30th and not have it arrive for a few days... :(
 
well ill wait bt the mail slot for 1-3 oct when it will come :D
 
Where is the "Wasting time waiting for a new release date as it has been delayed" since that's what's more then likely going to happen since no one at valve has a clue on how they want to release it yet?

Thats what the "Other" chocie is there for.
 
Well, I did scheduled Sept 30th and Oct 1st off work, but I'm starting to think maybe I should cancel those days off :p
 
wouldn't the game ship on the 30th and therefore not be in stores?
 
no it will be available in stores across the world on 30sep. thats why it will be goin gold in a week or 2

Ever the optimist.

Personally, I doubt I'll get it that week. first week of Uni and I want to socialise and meet folks. So if I DO get it that week I'll just look at it for about a week or so...
 
Like El_Chi it's my first week at Uni.

I've got a Welcome to University Lecture at 12.30 on the day. So I'm going to do one of these three things:

* Get Up Early, go into the City, Buy Half Life 2. Return to Lecture
* Go to Lecture, go buy Half Life 2
* Get Up, Half Life 2 has arrived in post.

And then I'm just going to play it for a bit but leave my door open so people can see I still exist.
 
30th september is a thursday? Goddamned, I have a very long schoolday on thursday. Well for once: **** school.
 
All you bastards should be jealous of me, well, maybe. LOL I'm gonna be unemployed come Sept. 10th, YEAHHHH DAWWWWGGG. LOL, that seems like a crazy thing to be excited about, doesn't it?? I just graduated college as a chemical engineer, and we're not in high demand at all right now - I've only had two interviews since March. So come Sept. 30th, I'm gonna be playing that baby 24/7. I certainly want to enjoy the game, but I want to see if I can't beat it within the first few days. So while all you high school kiddies are stuck in class staring at the clocks, waiting to get home and play this game, I'll have already delved a decent amount into it. LOL Har har har. J/k, I bet a bunch of you guys are probably gonna skip school that day anyway.

But i cant school is tough. If i skip a day i would get very far behind.

------------------------------------------------------

I will probably go to sleep at 4 am the next day.


(Note: On the 3rd choice it means Download through STEAM)

LoL if you only skip one single day you get very far behind?

But you don't mind playing at 4pm at night and skipping school the next day cause you probably addicted to HL2 or you are to tired to get up at 7am?

That Is A Very Good Idea !!
Only I will add the "Slide The Pizza under the door" part. (From DOMINOS of course)

And Replace Pepsi with CocaCola.
 
I only have 1 class on Tuesdays, so I plan to pick it up at around 11:30 a.m.

One thing I am wondering though, will all the retailers have enough copies?

Do I care anymore? no. And is there really any point to any of the lame-ass threads on this forum at the moment? no. Am I bored shitless of the NOTHING that is still being done with HL2 after the last year of my life has slipped by? yes. Am I not posting here anymore? absolutely.

lock away, mods of righteousness.
