I think I might cry...
HL2 released soon...
crummy laptop with 56k connection...
$3000 CDN due for tuition...

I seriously hope my brother buys it so I can play it when I fly home for the winter holiday, 'cuz really... HL2!!!11!one!!1

Venmoch

NOES!

Game r messed up.

Apparently they don't have the collectors edition at this moment.

And I was a little late ordering "bog-standard" edition.

No HL2 for me tomorrow it would seem. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I get off at around 12:30 here, so I'm rushing myself to the nearby Wal-Mart and grabbing me a copy before the entire town wakes up to go deer hunting.

30 is good enough. Halo was designed to be played at 30.

With that said, I think I'm going to "be sick, *cough* *cough*" for school tomorrow.

Word. However, I don't have my RAM yet, so I'll just be playing HL1 Source and DoD Source (See? They do have a reason to exist!). I don't want to ruin the experience with terrible performance when I can just wait a week or two.

I still have WoW to play, anyway.
