lucked out means you got lucky, so your post doesnt make much sense.

Ooh I didnt know that well generally idea is I was just not lucky enough.

Only if someone dies, and the only way they could've saved him was if they had just one more person to help stop the bleeding...........

But you'll be playing HL2!! So it's ok.................

I'm going to be busy tomorrow from 6:30 AM until 8:00 PM. At that point, I will return home and do homework for 2 hours and fall in bed. Looks like no HL2 until wednesday or possibly Friday...

Well, I've got funeral services starting at 2:00pm. I went ahead and took the whole day off. It's going to be a long one.

But, I'm going to play plenty of Half Life 2 when it gets released and when I get up tomorrow.

I am not aware of many stores selling at midnight. Maybe a Walmart near by? You can call and see if they have it.

Need some toilet paper? You have something coming out your ass.

Oh, I'm sure everyone's "buddy" has already beat the game.

:roll:

Pscht, why did you quote me! and not him!

I was responding to you, I just thought your comment was :laugh: as hell.

I did the preload this morning. Took about 1 - 1.5 hrs. Yay! for university connections :p

btw, I thought there was a modified 4.11 driver on that link I gave. Or does 4.11 suck also?

I'm heading out to Micro Center in about a half hour to pick it up. They're having a midnight sale for $39.82 for regular version.

Plus I plan to pick up a $6.99 Pizza on the way back ! (Monday night pick-up special at pizza hut)

I AM THE WIZ !!

That's not even slightly funny. I'd prefer death.

Just for the record buddy - NO ONE can play HL2 yet. Period.

Half Life 2 for sale?

"If you have purchased a copy of Half-Life 2, we are sorry you are still waiting to play. This is not Valve's choice. Vivendi is insisting that the game has not yet been released, and has threatened that Valve would be in violation of its contract if we activate the Half-Life 2 Steam authentication servers at this time.

Thanks for your patience and we will update you when we have more news to share."

this game is going to crush doom3 in terms of gameplay but im not quite sure if hl2 is anything revolutionary either. read gamespot's review and you'll find that hl2 doesn't break any major new ground despite all the hype.

Mine shipped out from amazon today. I'm hoping that I receive the game tomorrow, but am realistically expecting the game to arrive on Wednesday.

Needless to say, I can't wait!
