what you must realise that upon the release of HL2, several things will happen.

1. another blackout due to the huge numbers of PCs being used for HL2 simultaneously.
2. mass absenteeism.. oh yes.
3. mothers, wives, girlfriends, and daughters will cease to exist for several weeks.
4. consumption of coffee/amphetamines/any other stimulant will increase
5. very few dogs will get walked (oh yeah like u r going to switch off HL2 to take the dog out on a wet December night?)

and most seriously

6. TLR will become awfully quiet hopefully only temporarily and FL will for some time be forgotten, although it will sit near most peoples PCs waiting for the eventual "had enuff of HL2" now.

..you think you're done with the past; but the past isn't done with you..

You will actually have 3d faces now insead of paper-faces.


EDIT: To keep people entertained here, TLR could add a section for Half Life!

LOL- I know that wont be possible, but that is really the only way to keep traffic comming in.


I dont get it. The webfourms that i was at before Freelancer never seems to die. If you post a thread in one of the fourms there, it will be gone in one day. No matter what. Unless there is a lot of spam. ( I am talking about the TOTAL WAR forums. Medieval, shogun, rome, total war games.) But I already have 4 x the amount of posts here. I only have 161 over there. I got board.


ANNY WAY! I got to get to bed. Its too late. When I get tired, I talk a lot. So please hold the public execution untill i am awake!

but will the game be good enough to have a percievable influence on the divorce rate
that should be the benchmark for new games

Maybe I can't see how it will live up to its predecessor although the graphics and enginge look insane.

I was a bit like that to start with GE, I was really thinking it would just be another Unreal 2 (good engine, bland game). However, after reading a fair bit on what has gone into the code (particularly the dynamic AI) it could be just as good, if not better than the original.

HL2 should complete the damage done by FL in my case, I've already started looking round other houses for me and the boy!

actually thats not altogether a joke...
