The only positive side to this is that I'll get to play Max Payne 2 and Soul Calibour 2 without wanting to go and kill headcrabs all the time. Or maybe not, I mean, it's not like it isn't like that NOW. |

I'm glad I decided to do a gamer's blackout* on HL2, because if I hadn't and got wind of this news, I'd feel an overwhelming urge to run to the roof of the Empire State for some autodefenestration. [ at Kingzlebub]
*gamer's blackout: same as media blackout, but from a gamer's perspective - I stop reading/looking/talking about the game until the day it comes out.

That's some pretty serious stuff, considering the Sears Tower is quite a bit closer. I hope you're feeling ok, trep.

I just hope Max Payne 2 isn't delayed.
When is Soul Calibur 2 released to us Europeans, anyway?

Well, we were kind of hoping for a different scenario this time, since they'd been working on it secretly for five years...

yeah, but the great thing about hl2 was the definitive date, and ridiculously short time between announcement and release. now they could look very foolish indeed.

Hmmm, some immature little c@#t is playing jokes with us. See, this is exactly why I did a gamer's blackout on HL2, DX2, and Doom3.
