does a little dance

I bet the apocalypse will occur on November 15.

Final-*******-ly. Over a year late, but still, at least it'll be out soon.

links arms with Yak and turns it into a full scale barn dance

shame my PC won't run it! :biggrin: haha - luckily my savings will be complete in time for it's release :smile:

everyone get a beer, it's finally here :smile:

My brother's got 3 ghz, 1 GB of RAM, 9800 Pro, and he said he'd let me play it on his computer if I bought it. Why couldn't he just buy it and give me his computer... what a meanie. :sad:

What j00 got?! I'm just worried whether my system will handle S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but from that link provided earlier, it look like it will. Still though, I'm buying a 3.0 Ghz proccy and new mobo! :biggrin:

*Pushes gwil out the way*I want to dance with Yak! :razz: /jk

Who voted november in my thread? I did :razz:

Half life 2! Half life 2! I've been waiting for Half life 2! [changes sig]

Pity I won't be able to afford a new graphics card until after
christmas, the GF4 ti4200 is kinda the bottleneck in my system now :sad:
Ah well, it runs CS:S sorta well enough, I guess I can put up with a
couple of months of poor-ish performance!

w00t, I voted for November! I love you more every minute $loth!

Seriously, I wouldn't buy/play HL2 even if I were paid. No way I'll
ever thouch that piece of s**t, even with a 10 feet pole. If god just
heard my voice: "Please, don't let me hear about that s**t game once
more!!". I wish HL2 undone.

:eek: But... but... you're Swedish!

I am glad Sweden suffers higher backround radioactivity thanks to Chernobyl. When you die of colon cancer in twenty years I'll be laughing.

f**king hell, I've never seen anything spread through the internet so fast. It's everwhere!

Everyone, this was just a joke of mine :biggrin: . When I saw everyone so happy I just couldn't resist. Wanted to see how you reacted.

HL2 is one of the most anticipated and hyped games ever. Sorry for
pulling such a joke, throwing dirt at HL2, I just couldn't resist. :razz:

I'm looking forward to it as well. Most of all, all the mapping and modding possibilities.

Yeh ! Dancing, cheering

Help me find that thread where I said it could come out on November 16th ...

To be fair, you were throwing around a lot of dates. :razz:

That's only because they said "fall", but I really thought they'd do it in November.

I'm thinking it'll be out on November 16th or so. It seems to be the most reasonable release date.

That's just scary Crono.

i don't know what the fuss is about, without MP its still s**t. i can't believe i have waited five years for 1/2 a game.. ass holes all of them.

No multiplayer doesn't mean its s**t, it just happens to be missing the
part of the game that you were most looking forward to. People who have
played it seem to be praising it as one of the best games ever, and of
course don't forget that deathmatch will surface from the community
quick smart :smile:

its s**t, s**t i tell'ya

seriously, how are we gonna play DM maps, if the game doesn't support it? yeah it will eventually, but i wanted to start day #1.. THATS what i paid, or will be paying for..

s**t,s**t,s**t.. thwacks ensue

After putting so much effort into making the singleplayer part, I think they should include some sort of MP mode.

stop trying to tease us with inferior MP options sloth

Yeh, it is indeed quite lame ... HL2 SP has all those funky weapons,
and now we have to use ehm ... AK-47's (the most clich? weapon of them
all, ffs !) in our MP

teh suck !

if they screw us to badly, i will make available anything from my taboo version necessary to make a multiplayer map.. we might not be able to frag it, but s**t, only worthless mappers, or truly gifted ones can make a map in less than 6 weeks anyways.. maybe by that time they will produce a worthy patch.

I'm sure if you just played through the single player game before playing multiplayer (like you should :razz: ) by the time you beat it, a multiplayer would be out...

Honestly, isn't it suppose to be longer then Doom 3? Unless you plan on suddenly ignoring the rest of your life: it'll take some time.

And to be honest, DM modes are bulls**t without a good SinglePlayer campaign to rev you up for it.

But you guys love a dead over-done mode which will be out anyway.

I try my best :razz:

@ Crono, TBH, I usually take ages to play in Single player games with good plots, it takes me a while to figure it out lol. All of you will prolly of finished the game twice before i've finished it once.

CS:S is no option. It's just a blatant insult to the HL community :razz:

Looks like I'll have to sell my kidneys sooner than I thought if I want to play HL2.

now who doesn't pay attention to whom?

i cannot "play" for more than 10 or 15 minutes before the onset of nausea, if i ignore the signs.. 20 minutes later i am rudely reminded as i stumble to the bathroom toilet.

vertigo sucks if you are a gamer :sad:

That's just great, 16th November is actually my birthday! I'll be turning 18, enough to legally play HL2!

Dance! Everyuh-body dance!

<div style="text-align: center;">PART<span style="color: orange;">AY</span>!!!</div>

I'm in the same boat as you Reno, my video card is dragging the rest of my system down. I'm running P4 2.8ghz (HT), 1gig ddr ram, nice mobo and most of the trimmings, but my GF4 ti4200 is slowing me down.

Hopefully not for long though... hello GF 6800GT :dodgy:

Same here. GF4 MX 420 is the problem. I've got to save up more for RAM,
HDD, Windows, and a mid-range graphics card (ATi 9600 should be enough)
before my desktop is complete, so my laptop will just have to sacrifice
a lot of hard drive space for the time being!

Would you guy stop bitching about having a Ti4200. That card runs HL2 just fine.

Sorry to derail the topic, but...

OMG HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SEE A BLURRY WEBCAM PHOTO OF SOMEONES CASE WITH NEONS!?!?!1?!?!1?1!?!?!!?!?

You obvoiusly spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on that peice of work. Sell the neons and get a decent camera. And this goes to all you blurry-box-picture-posters out there.

...anyway...

My problem is... hmm... duron 1ghz cpu. Either that or the 133mhz sdram. Must spend a bit... :sad:
