Who will be the first person to own Half life 2?

[richpull]

I challenge all of you, when half life 2 comes out, if you get it crazy fast, take a picture of it on the way home, upload it to your computer and post it in the message boards. The first person to get Half life 2 in the universe will be awarded the gold medal of superherodom.

 

[Aknot]

Gabe.

 

[Gordon'sFreeman]

hahahahahahaHAHAHA!!!!
no one here will get it first. if they do, they wouldn't care!
you can rule everyone out except America

 

[Aknot]

Sorry im tired and a zombie.

 

[Quotidian---]

it would be impossible to tell.

probably some one who gets it from steam, and plays it at 12:01 am.

 

[richpull]

NO no the first person in the universe to buy Half Life 2 from a retail venue. It should be a international televised event with giant film crews with HD cams and stuff and there are professional counter strike players who run through electronics boutique and grab the copy and make the decision, credit, check or cash... Who will WIN !!!!!

 

[Seikeden]

the first non-press or gaming industry affiliated pleb?

I have my bets on Spitcodfry

He'll probably wake up one morning with a hl2 box just sitting there on his desk. :Q

 

[richpull]

What were spitcodfry and gabe doing the night before then, ohhhh
:bounce: :bounce:
LMAO just kidding guys, im just busting your balls

 

[Quotidian---]

if you made a deal with a local store ownder, i bet you 100% he would sell it to you a day early... (most of the stores recieve stuff a day before it gets put on shelves) .. thats how i get most anything i buy, from my local video game and music exchange (locally owned by one guy)

 

[richpull]

Like what a $5 bonus? or more, or what else?
Hey im updating Steam at 28% done, what percentage have you completed?

 

[Aknot]

Lets say the winner gets wacked in the head with a real crowbar for being such a geek he would rather take his picture with a box instead of playing the game....

sneeky bastard

 

[PSX]

someone is bound to get the game at least a day early, it always happens (well, I dunno about the recent zero hour, that seemed to have a lot of shipping probs)

as for me, yes, I will be taping my way into the store and taking about 25 pics when inside

 

[Yatta]

i'll buy it on the day it comes out... if best buy will have it by that day, that is. :flame: oooh... delay after delay.

 

[greeny]

Someone who works in the factory pressing the CDs. :afro:

 

[richpull]

your going to look like such a goofball video taping that, i bet youll tape over your little sisters christening or some very important family moment. But thats alright because Half life 2 will be more important anyway.

I definately want to work at Vivendi in the upcoming weeks :dork:

 

[Quotidian---]

lol goom... i tried with hl2.. but my guy (chris is the owner ) told me he's no longer getting pc games in. just new cd's and consol games.. so i won't be one of those sneaky dudes THIS time..

 

[richpull]

Heres a link to a list of open positions at Vivendi Universal Games
http://www.vugames.com/careersdb-results.jsp

 

[Aknot]

hmmmm No positions with "ability to blow smoke up peoples arses" in the descriptions...guess that position is already filled.

 

[zdub]

I will be.

hahaha, that's ok, I'm going early in the morning with the least amount of people; now that would be great... an empty mall, like some parts in from dusk til dawn; all you need is some decent editing after taping your strolling out of the mall with the Half-Life 2 box in front of the camera; ohhh look, a zombie, my VALVe logo will save us all!

If I happen to be the first person to pick up a copy, I doubt I'd take the time to take a picture, upload it, and post here, or anywhere for that matter.

Chances are I'd be installing it waiting to play, where I would remain obvlivious to the rest of the world for the next 70 approximate hours.

 

[commando]

the people who SHIP the game.

 

[-JeZ-]

Not me. And since I don't own a digi cam or a vid cam I'll not be taking any documentation of my purchase. Not that I would even if I did. It is, after all, just a game.
