I preordered it. Getting it on Tuesday. Gonna skive off half of school just to play it. Just hoping my expectations aren't too high...
I am expecting it to be the best shooter to date, though. Actually, I can't think of a single announced shooter that looks better than HL2. The graphics, the sound, the AI, the level design, the story, the characters, everything about it looks incredible.

I wish I could do that, I haven't had a chance <i>at all</i> this week. Today I got up at 7am, and the day before I got up at 5.30am for work.
On a related note, I'm rather torn between buying it off Steam and buying it retail. I'd like to have a hard-copy (and by that I mean a pressed copy, not some burned-CD deal which might rot anyways), but on the other hand, I think VU is a company of smacktards and I feel that a Steam purchase would be the way to make sure my money goes only to Valve. What do you guys think?
I'm playing all the C&C games in chronological order back to back. For the past few days I've played only as soviet, I'm about to finish Red Alert and soon to start the expansions.
Fun times.
I hope to be finished in time for christmas so I can buy myself Generals and Zero Hour, even tho I don't strictly believe either to be a TRUE C&C game. But such is life.

I ate this tasty cookie called an alpine, which has nuts and white chocolate in it. It was good. Then I played Diablo 2 for about 3 hours to relive the days of old, and became a level 13 paladin! Woohoo! Shortly thereafter, I decided to check the news as I seem to do this about 12431245123 times a day, and then came here to find some more reading material. That is all.

Shouldn't that result in lots of spam about hl2?
Excited me anyway.

I just want HL2 to come out. Anyone up for a murder run on Vivendi? I bet their headquarters is in California, right?
