i would laugh if they released HL2 one day early, on the 29th
/edit if i were a gaming company like them, i would do this delay stuff with HL2 make all those people say i told it would be delayed blah blah, and then release it a day early.

It has been officially delayed, my friend. We won't be seeing it before October.

 

[SilentKilla]
