Halflife 2 IS GOLD / HALFLIFE: SOURCE GOLD BUWHAHAHAAA (screenshots)

<--went to the microcenter giveaway...no dice...


<---feeling that hopefully waking up was worth it since I guess I get to play first😀


READY?


WOW. This game is beautiful. The graphics arn't even the half of it. The world is jsut so damn realistic compared to older games, or even the released videos....it is just BEAUTIFUL@ 1600x1200.


Notes:

1)My system was pagging like a little whiney bitch, so you will need more than 512MB to cut it( I ordered another 512MB stick from newegg 2 weeks ago and it still isn;t here) This leads to long load times and stuttering as you walk into new areas. Once they load though, it is worth it.

2) to my surprise, once hte textures loaded, my PC was able to handle it quite well
2500+@3200
512MB pc3200
WD120SE
AT 9800pro

For some odd reason it ran BEAUTIFULLY AND STUTTER FREE @, get this:

1600x1200
all detail settings to max
4xAA , 2xAF



Truely, speaking after playing the game only for a bit, I have no doubt now that it was worth the wait.


I know I'll regret doing this, but here is my screenshot gallery:

There goes my bandwidth....

Ah crap. Some douchebag kept saying 2am 2am even though I knew it was 3 hrs. It is too early. All I could remember was 2am.

dammnit.

3am is asking a lot from me. I have to tuor a bunch of kids tommorow, exams to STUDY FOR,PAPERS TO WRITE



ARGGHHH!!!!
 
BTW, most everyone at the store thougth thye could go home, pop in the game, and start playing. No one would believe me about the activation.

lol.....I bet there will be a lot of returns in the morning....
 
As with the Halo 2 launch, I am still very confused at why people will go to a store at midnight just go buy a game, rather than wait until the next day.

um... because if it wasn't for Half Life, Halo 2 wouldn't exist.... plus Half-Life is considered the best PC game ever made.

Ummm... Why not? What's the downside to getting it at midnight?

You have to wait in line in the cold, at midnight. Most people have work in the morning so playing it all night really isn't that practical, and being 1 day late on the latest game really isn't that big of a loss.
 
I really should have gone the steam route. I don't get it until my local gamestop opens @ 10 am tomorrow 🙁 :|

I had the next day off... It wasn't very cold at all... I was hanging out with a friend.

Why do any of you give a rat's ass?
