<div class="IPBDescription">Yes, another HL2 thread.</div> So a quick show of hands who is actually staying up for the (supposed) unlocking of HL2 tonight?

*raises hand*

HL was the first game I ever followed prior to release (and only because those bastards bought Worldcraft *shakes fist*) and, as you may have noticed, was instrumental in getting me to a pretty sweet job at a pretty sweet company. So it's only fitting that I give the sequel the attention it should deserve. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I've even taken the day off work tomorrow (inspired by another co-worker, heh) for maximum enjoyment and will be picking up my reserved copy sometime tomorrow morning. Maggie works all day and is getting her hair re-colored afterwards, so it's all me, Half-Life 2, 20" monitors, and a 5.1 promedia speaker setup...

Awwww yeah...

    Well I do have my Teddy Grahams right by me, but they probably won't keep me up for very long. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But not only will HL2 be on my mind, but tommorrow I've gotta stop by EBGames and pick up my preordered copy of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. That game looks pretty cool, but HL2 will probably be the priority with me.

    I have to work tomorrow morning selling copies of Prime 2, HL2, NFS: Underground 2, everything else that freakin' comes out tomorrow... sometimes I hate the industry. November 16th takes up 3 pages in our release date list <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Soon as I get home, though, HL2 all the way baby.

    That's what I was thinking. I'm going to EB when I get home from school. Even if I have to get a knife and threaten someone, I'm getting there
  • ThE_HeRoThE_HeRo Join Date: 2003-01-25 Member: 12723Members
    I'm going to sleep now, and setting my alarm for 2.01 CST (when it should come out).

    Good night loves. See you at two, along with the rest of the world.

    I too am going to sleep now, but before I do, am setting my computer settings all to VERY VERY low. I want it to be ready the moment I launch it in the morning, and I want it to be running DAMNED good.

    Hence why I am also going to be starting a defrag, whether it works or finishes or not.

    <3 you all, see you in a day or 2.
  • NuketheplaceNuketheplace Join Date: 2002-09-02 Member: 1266Members
    Preloaded, and waiting. I have a bottle of Bawls so I can get up and go to school tommorrow. Time to play till 1 AM baby.
  • 2_of_Eight2_of_Eight Join Date: 2003-08-20 Member: 20016Members
    Nope. Not staying up.
    My preload is done, but I'm buying it retail (silver) tomorrow, at about 4 EST.
    You see, I luckily happen to have a dentist's appointment. After that... I go home. Before that, I happen to buy HL2. Emm?
  • BobTheJanitorBobTheJanitor Join Date: 2003-12-10 Member: 24228Members, NS1 Playtester
    Does anyone have an idea exactly when it's being released on steam? I've heard midnight eastern, midnight pacific, and even random times that seem to only exist somewhere in the middle of the atlantic ocean. Anyone able to clear that up? That HL2 countdown clock that everyone links to is just based on your own personal system clock getting to midnight by the way, so if you don't live in the correct time zone it's pointless.

    I'm staying up, though I'll only be able to play an hour's worth or so. And if it isn't out within 5 minutes of midnight PST I'm goin to bed. I absolutely can't miss class tommorrow cause I got a project to turn in.

    I am weak. And it's not out yet. And it's 1:00 AM where i am so there are no hopes of me staying up to begin the information boycott.
  • marcemarce Join Date: 2004-08-24 Member: 30869Members
    I'm staying up (till 6pm EST hehehe) so I can see the forums crash from all the posts with "omgwthbbqhax".

    That and the explosion of posts in PYP thread containing images of people whose heads exploderised when they made eye contact with the game-which-shall-not-be-named-2

    not getting the game for a few more days, ah well, c'est la vie, I may just survive.

    ... more likely to survive if I don't accidentally read any spoilers <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Tom Hanks is Robert Langdon!

    Who the hell did the casting? It should go to the like of Kevin Spacey or Edward Norton.

    Oh, not this roll call?
