I shall re-emphasize Esuna's "WoW". Right now my rogue is sitting on a roof while I browse the forums and let my graphics card cool down. It keeps overheating and doing its little VPU recoverer thingy.

Well, i am stunned... I saw my first HL2 advert today on TV. To be fair it was channel 5 in the middle of the programme "Worst Motherinlaw In Britain".
It was very minamalist and only lasted about 15 seconds. The HL2 logo faded in, then the release date, then the price, then faded out.

This is something that is REALLY worrying me. I live in the UK. HL2 gets unlocked, I heard, 12 AM PST. I think the difference between that and GMT is about 8 hours. Does that mean I have to wait till 8 PM to play HL2? Hope not.
PS I know nothing about time zones so I'm probably wrong.
It's my birthday. My computer is a piece of crap and needs replacing, yet I lack sufficient funds to do so (£200 isn't going to stretch too far to get anything decent) It's dark out.
