What would you do..

[jemook]

Its Sep 30th. You wake up at 4am to catch a train to your local game store, theres a line outside. The cold air makes you nervous and as you enter the warm store your goosebumps do not fade. You reach out to touch the hl2 box, and instantly a tingle goes down your spine. you practyically run to the counter, pay for the item and as you catch the train home your practically spoofing your pants from anticipation..

you get inside your house, trip 4 times on the way up the stairs, gently open the box as carefully as you can and insert the cd. whilst installing hl2 you read the manual and observe the beautiful crisp pages. hl2 finishes installing.

You dribble as you double click the hl2 icon on the desktop.. you can hear your machine grunting as it loads the new software.. then *DING*

Half Life 2.exe has caused an illegal exception error in win32.dll

you start crying knowing that you cant get help on the net as the game is too knew...

What do you do next..

I live in the U.S. and the only trains I've ridden were just for pure entertainment... I've never ridden once to get from one place to another.

(edit: Subways are another matter, though... they're kinda like trains!)

No, I think there are enough people going in and out of there that it would have a train station by now...

lol, someone is uptight...

 

[jemook]

not uptight im just sick of people spamming useless harrasment at people for no reason and im trying to make a stand. if everyone did the same we would haev a normal forum

 

[Noodlygod]

I'd reformat, re-install windows and try again. (After trying other various fixes of course)

 

[Solid_Raiden]

I would wait patiently for the mailman. Dammit,HL2's release is on a Tuesday! NOOOO!


Thank god for pre-orders!

this was very vivid and nicely written though. nice little story, but the ending sucked.

i can see it as a funny flash movie.

edit, btw i would reboot, and click hl2.exe again, usually works after a reboot

 

[jemook]

haha sorry coax.. but the ending was my point.. imagine the anguish when you realise you HAVE hl2 but u cant PLAY it..

 

[Sulkdodds]

I would uninstall it, delete all of it's files, install it again (reinstalling never works) and if it still didn't work, maybe I'd TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND GET A NEW COPY! You idiots

Does your doctor know you quit taking your medication last week?

But to answer the question, if that happened, I would check these forums. I can guarantee you if it was a Valve problem there would be a 700 page long post on it within 30 seconds of the game being in stores. If not, I would assume the fetal position.
