    It must be nice to be able to get hyped up about HL2. I would be, too, but a real crappy week's coming up...
  • ANeMANeM Join Date: 2003-05-13 Member: 16267Members, Constellation
    Silver Preorder, 100% preloaded, Built-by-ATI 9500 pro 2 years old and still awesome.
    I think I'll be fine.
    and my 1000th post is coming up. Maybe I can make it a "OGM I got HL2" topic. That would be nice.

    No money.
    Grades suck.
    The closest retailer is 45 minutes away.
    X800 Pro, 1GB Dual Channel XMS PC3200 RAM, Athlon 64 3800.

    All this firepower, and no hl2 headcrabs to blast with it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Atleast I get to go to sleep tonight and wake up at 7am rather than have to do an all nighter.

    ^_^ 6years later I'm still playing HL, w00t for me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Just about all websites have a "Forgotten password" button, I think Steam has one

    It does, however you still need to know the answer to your secret question. Unfortunatly.
    You best hope you made your secret question a sensible one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, only some(retarded) sites/programs ask you what the QUESTION is, as opposed to the ANSWER to said question... reminds me of hitchhikers guide.
    Anyway, why no preorder? Or are you going for retail?
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    Well I don't know what the question or the answer are ^^;
    Probably something witty I thought I'd never forget and now currently don't remember... as per usual =3

    No point, to download it will take over 13 hours, and that's 13 hours where the internet will run slow as hell, i can't play games online and nobody else in the house can either. I'll stick to waiting 15 minutes to install from CD. <!--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 wish I could do that, I want to be able to activate and play one second after. Unfortuneately my ISP (stupid university) only allows a maximum of 625MB of download bandwidth a month, and even if they didn't they have filtered all the steam ports to hell, the download alone would take in exess of a solid month to compleat.
