so valve will be opening the authentication servers for hl2 tonight, who will be playing?
this is great, i have the next 3 days off from work! :D
it will be unlocked at 12:00AM GMT tonight..finally@#$!@

is the game even retail yet?

aparently yes, its in stores. however you must activate it online - an anti-piracy counter-measure of course.

Finally something my time. Well i guess its activated now. I dont know wehter to get it now or wait for christmas. I really want CS Source from it.

I'm installing it right now!!!

I feel like a kid at christmas  8)

Just bought it. I went to Tesco during ym break from college and it was all gone. I asked at customer services when they would have more and she said a deleviry was due today. I couldnt decide wether to go back at lunch just before going back to college and I was like, yea OK. Went there and got there as they were putting more out. Installing it noe. Cant wait!!! ;D

So are the graphics awesome?

Extremely. Very nice graphics. I am sopleased I got it. I am considering setting up a server for special tournaments etc, if anyone is intrested? Just say I! or PM me or something.

Set up a CS:S server while your at it. =)

i give this game a 15/10.

it fucking rocks.

excellent voice acting, EXTREMELY realistic visuals, especially the shadows, they're soft, and fade out with if the object is pulled further away from the light-source, far better than doom3.
water effects are jaw-dropping, nothing else like it
very, very detailed cut scenes, the facial expressions npc's make are amazing.

but don't forget, TEH PHYSICS!@#$@!
holy fucking shit, i've never had so much fun throwing trash and shooting barrels into people.

i was completely emmersed in this game within minutes. i've never felt so "there", if you will.

if you haven't gotten it yet, you're either dead, dead poor, or a retard. GO GET IT NOW!@#$

[/quote]I noticed when you said that your IP  kept on changing.

btw, I'm hanging on very tight.

LOL
I neat my cheapo friends at college to cough up first :P

Thats one way of getting things done, but what are the chances of them actually paying for something that isn't 100% for them?  //Only applys if they are actually cheap like the people I know  :P

It will be a clan server and every one I asked has said theyll cough up.If they do then they get theyre username admined.I get main admin as I am setting it all up. It should be soughted in a few days :)

ohhhhohoho, i can't wait! i just installed my new asus k8n-e deluxe and athlon64 3400+ :D

Nice, server is coming in less than a week. I would have got it today but my friend for got his wallet so i dont have enough :(

OK, server is going live tonight. Akamas's partner is soughting it out tonight(woohoo) ill send the IP to all that wants it and post news about tourneys coming up.

Kevin says your CS:Source server is setup, we're just awaiting payment.

*waits for ip*

I'll be getting this for Christmas, although WoW will absorb me.

I've been playing Half-life 2 and it isn't that great.

Maybe it's not his type of game? Can't make fun of him if it doesn't suit him.

Yes, thats most likely it. I find the game loads WAY too much, which also makes it a piece of shit.

Just came upon this. RIP Invincible Gordan Stalking Man.

I am at the point in the game where you control these bugs and stuff with this alien ball. They take everything out for you. It's fun I think.

Your about  5/8th done the game.

I am now at the part where you're going to those cells that get carried everywhere. But I don't see how I can be that far into the game when there are other cds.

Typically the CDs themselves are for install, with one acting as the playdisc, it's not like xbox.

You're pretty close to the end. I beat it yesterday, the ending isn't too great.

Not this one j0k3r, Its a one-time install. Though you need a steam account to play it, and a valid half-life2 cdkey registered to that account.

Some how my saved game got deleted. Does anybody have a save up as far as the bugs you can control by the turrets please? It would be greatly apreciated. Thanks. Either post a link, email me or PM me. Thanks so much in advance!

I would've helped you out MeH, But  I reformatted. And the game and everythings now gone, except my main things.
