Well, after all the drama at Valve, VU Games, etc. HL2 is finally, finally coming out. It's funny: I remember clearly when the game was announced. It was just before I left to go to Prague. I thought by the time I got there, the game would be out, and I would be struggling to play it on my Alienware laptop (2.4ghz, but a lousy mobility radeon 7500!). Well, talk about blue balls - while it wasn't the biggest of stalls that I remember (that's now DNF), it was probably the most frustating since Newell jumped the gun and gave that Sept. 30 date. Oops...
It's funny now, though - I remember first reading about Max Payne, looking at the early screenshots, when I was finishing up eighth grade. Then, all of a sudden in my senior year of high school, the game resurfaces again and I'm playing it on my Dell 933mhz comp. It was so surprising to actually see this game after so long!
Now HL2 is here, and with my new comp it's gonna be bliss. I would like to get the collector's edition, simply for the fact that the game's on a single DVD instead of 5 friggin discs. But that edition costs 80 bucks... Does anyone know where I can a DVD copy of the game for less than that? I find it a bit, well goddamn steep.
This, and also finally Vampire Bloodlines. I heard that game was all ready finished but they had to hold it back until HL2 was finished......
