Will you skip work for HL2?

[PainLord]

I dont work yet becuase im not old enough. But I was wondering, will you people who are old enough skip work and go and buy HL2 instead of going to work?

 

[FluxCap]

Yep, October 1st(wednesday) is when it should be in EB's stores, since the 30th is the ship date. So, yep, probably be a vacation day of bliss.

 

[@bel]

I guess!

 

[Profit]

Not me, I'm our I.T. man, so of course my PC is more than capable of running the game which should also be delivered to work on the day of release

 

[theotherguy]

what kind of a nerd would do that?
*Oct. 1*
*Boss: Jenkins! why werent you at work yesterday!?! you know that we had that big deal that meant the life of our company yesterday!
*Jenkins:Sorry sir, I was buying and playing half-life 2, honest, I mean come on, it IS half-life 2!
*Boss: What, the hell is that!? oh well, it doesnt matter, "Off with his head!"

What kind of nerd would sign up to a HL2 forum (which means they have an intrest in the game) and then complain about other nerds who want to play the game on its release day/day after and make up an excuse for not going into work?

 

[Mountain Man]

I haven't decided yet, but it's definitely an idea I've toyed with.

 

[coolUK007]

Im scared this game is gonig to ruin my life.

Not really... i probably wont even get to play it until this time next year. Okay thats a bit too far fetched, but i probably will get very little time to play games.

 

[JunkieXL]

YES>

 

[Marauder]

I will have so little time to play HL2, I just realized. I have school, and more importantly (to me anyway ) football

 

[Lifthz]

You'd have to be crazy to do that for any game. But whatever.

 

[Shippi]

I'm gonna try and get outta school the day I get HL2, but I don't think I'll be able to.

Oh no! I've just realised that I'm only gonna be able to play it proplerly on Saturdays. Crud. I hate school...

 

[NoGodForMe]

Collecting is more important than any game.

I will take a few extra days off in October because I have to use up the time or lose it, and I'll be playing HL2 and D3.

But in terms of actually taking off Sept 30th and October 1st, no way.
If anything, I'll goto EB during my lunch hour to see if I can get it.

 

[Ahnteis]

more probable that I'll just leave work early.

 

[ValVed RaY]

i quit my both damn jobs, it's so fun to not work
first one was eckereds i worked there for 2 years during school then i quit cuz it sucked
then construction the pay was awsome, but it took up too much of my time and i was always tired, now i just don't work =]

 

[DrEvil]

nope. can't skip work for playing a game. even if it's hl2.

 

[Lex Talionis]

Well I'm lucky enough to be my own boss.... So my staff will have to work a little harder for a while.

 

[Torsion]

No, its just a game even if it is HL2. School and work will come before entertainment for me always.

 

[Mr.Magnetichead]

Yes.I.Will

 

[Chicky]

WORK??????????????????????? huh

 

[David]

Some of us going in the school, IF you forget , but im skip teaching for HL2 for some two days, and will play game on Saturday and Sunday.

 

[mosquave]

I finish my current job roughly a week before the release date and will have a nice 4 week holiday to play this game to death.

 

[Prince of China]

Ha, I don't have a job-it's the law-I'm too young...
But still, I would stay in school and if I had a job, I wouldn't skip it.

[Radeon]

[The Mullinator]

I hate school, I may be able to skip school for like the day I get HL2, but other than that there isn't much I can do.

 

[nw909]

I got a copy on hold so it doesn't matter what time I get there.

Hmm, this provides a paradox, because what kind of nerd would complain about a nerd complaining about a nerd? and for that matter, what kind of nerd would complain about that?

Hmm, and what if you went back in time and killed your grandfather, then you couldnt exist to go back and kill him which means that you exist to kill him!?!?

WAIT!! i have the awnswer to the first paradox! A hypocrite would do that! But wait, what kind of nerd would come up with an awnswer to his own question? and for that matter, what nerd would complain about a nerd answering his own nerdy question? *brain explodes*

NOTE: This message=SPAM :cheese:

NO motherf***er-ahhahahahahahh!

 

[LoneDeranger]

I already skip work quite often so skipping it to buy HL2 will be only natrual.
