How to play Half-Life 2 (invalueable tips)

[NotVisible]

Here is the correct way to play half-life 2. Value will probably include this on the future box cover. Could be considered a walk through.

1) Pack wife (partner etc) and kid(s) off to the mum in-law for 2 - 3 days,
2) Buy loaf of bread, jam and baked beans and 3 pizzas and drink(= 3 square meals a day for three days),
3) Close curtains in house, turn lights off and set central heating for 24 hour comfort,
4) Place big stick (crowbar ideal) near computer (for scared night time visits to loo),
5) insert new graphics card and memory into PC,
6) spend 3 hours installing and registering HL2 (steam server busy). Eat pizza 1, it's the last meal you can enjoy at you leisure - all other meals will be rushed,
7) Set phones to divert, instant messangers to ('busy')
8) On spare (old and outdated) PC logon to halflife2.net ready for 'I'm stuck on.....' posts,
9) Play.

Hope this helps. Pay particular attention to number four during the zombie town.

you forgot the can of deep heat. I need to move things around, I know, but after all day spent playing this game my neck was killing me.

Good point on the deep heat. I am sure I have developed RSI from constant playing. Think I need to get one of the gel wrist mats or something.
