[trevjim]

1st stage= about a month before realease=not realy that botherd about it yet
2nd stage=3-2 weeks before release=excitment kicks in and hype takes place
3rd stage=1 week= negativity, worrying if it will work on my pc, will it come in time, will it be as good as the hype makes out
4th stage= ????

4th stage = game is just about to be released, huge meteor destroys the earth.

 

[iainmoo]

there is also the stage where you think that it is going to be released in a couple weeks but it turns out it will be out in a year and a half.

Thanks valve :<

4th stage: hl2 unlocking and me nervously spilling out a half-empty cup of tea over my keyboard, somehow making my screen explode, sending glass shards into my throad artery causing me to bleed to death while hearing msn make a familiar sound which probably is my most ignorant friend telling me hl2 has finished unlocking on his computer.

4th stage=spouses of gamers yelling in frustration as thier significant other disappears into the computer for a month after HL2 is released! :upstare:

 

[Ennui]

I think I'm going to merge with my computer on release day.

 

[EC]

5th stage - buy a new mobo and cpu.

lol, that is the funniest thing I have read all week

 

[Lobster]

Dureing the last year and a half, everything that could go wrong for HL2 did go wrong, now its only 1 week away, im scared the world really IS gonna explode or somthing!

 

[Alientank]

The hype has really died down for me atleast, on HL2 but I will still play it obviously.

 

[GuNzABlaZiN]

Think of it this way: HL2 really isn't that special and it's certainly not the second coming of christ, so it's not good enough for the world to blow up. Tune down your hype and everything will be fine, if you're all hyped up, you might get hit by a bus (or a meteor) while running home from school (work, grandma's house, etc).

 

[MiccyNarc]

The excitement and anticipation is killing me.

 

[Tlaloc]

EDIT: i have been waiting for this game... well most of us have for a loooooooooooooooong and what seems even longer time...

it better live up tothe expectations or i'm gonna wanna kill valve
