I haven't been on today. What's the deal with the "your friend" crap?

skywalker posted a bunch of stalker emails he sent some girl and he ends one with "your friend in christ" so to make sure he never comes back and to have him understand that nobody wants him back everybody starts using 'your friend in'

So THAT's what all this is about. I imagine skywalker probably had to break all his fingers to keep himself from posting something like:

"Ok, I know I said I'd leave, but really....you guys are mean. Blah blah blah I suck. So about this girl in a class next door to mine...I think she's super-uber-cool LOL!"
 

*UPDATE*

An interview on halflife2.net with the guy who reviewed HL2:

Today I was able to get a World Exclusive Interview with the man that reviewed Half-Life 2 first, Senior Editor Chuck Osborn from PCGamer. So let?s just get straight to it.


Icarus: What was your reaction when you found out you would be the first to review Half-Life 2?
Chuck Osborn: It was a mixture of excitement and trepidation, because of the responsibility of being the first one to review it.

Icarus: Was Half-Life 2 what you expected?
Chuck Osborn: More

Icarus: Was it worth the wait?
Chuck Osborn: Absolutely

Icarus: How long is the review?
Chuck Osborn: Nine pages, plus we have a four page story telling you what you need to know about running Half-Life 2 on your system.

Icarus: Did it seem dated?
Chuck Osborn: Not at all.

Icarus: Are there any spoilers in the review?
Chuck Osborn: There are some mild spoilers, because you can?t review it without giving away something. I say very clearly when to stop reading if you don?t want to know anything. If you read the entire review, there are a lot of surprises I don?t talk about, because I want you to be surprised. This is not a spoiler review.

Icarus: Does it have multiplayer, if so what are they?
Chuck Osborn: Counter-Strike Source is the multiplayer.

Icarus: Only CS:S, no Deathmatch?
Chuck Osborn: Only CS:S

Icarus: Has it (CS:S) changed any from Beta?
Chuck Osborn: It?s what they say it?s going to be, but with a few surprises

Icarus: Who did you get to play it with?
Chuck Osborn: Valve as well as playing in within our own offices

Icarus: Did you get to play HL Source?
Chuck Osborn: Yes.

Icarus: Can you tell me anything about HL:Source?
Chuck Osborn: Nope

Icarus: Is it (HL:S) included in the review?
Chuck Osborn: Yes, it's discussed in a sidebar along with a few screenshots.

Icarus: Anything you want to say the users before I go?
Chuck Osborn: I'm just glad I don't have to keep my playing Half-Life 2 a secret anymore! It was killing me. Trust me...you won't be disappointed.


....DROOOL!

You're botherin' Christ,

Yep. I'm tempted to see if they pull another September 30th on us. 😛

- M4H

Would be interesting but not surprising at all....with that said, at least it's not as much of a joke as Duke Nukem Forever has become, even though I probably had at one time been looking forward to that one more myself....

Oh, and: WRONG FORUM 🙂

Yes 😛

In any case, I'm sort of wishing I could have gotten in on the Walmart HL2 Collector's Edition deal, but then again....I haven't even finished FarCry or Doom 3 yet.
