Half Life 2 as zero hour approaches:

So when do you guys who are buying/bought Half Life 2 plan to actually play it for the first time?

Assuming I can sleep that night, I don't plan on playing it until after my first class on that Tuesday (for a mere 3 hours, then back to school again). Chances are though that I'll be awake for it's 3AM release and I'll get a few hours of gametime in before I can actually calm down enough to sleep.

    I'd love to play this game when it gets released but everytime I try and connect to Steam to try & pre load a copy I get an error about their servers being too busy. :mad:

    I'aint going to buy it from a store as I have an ati free copy voucher so I want to use that instead.

    Mines pre-loaded. Just waiting for the off :cool:

    Although as the card died before the game was released, I have a £300 copy of HL2 :whatever:

    I used mine - I performed my Steam preload starting Saturday evening, and it finished yesterday afternoon, then I scratched off my code and I'll be ready to play upon official release. I played around with the CS on the Source engine that comes with it and it looks pretty good...

    W00t my 2 exams this week will be over with today so I can get to rocking w/ HL2! I guess I'll be buying it tonight :) [edit] crap, nobody's selling it here till tomorrow morning...

    Between the exams and this, though, I won't have had a lot of time for the free WoW beta... I guess I'll play that on my laptop when I go home for Thanksgiving next week since even my desktop will be hardly decent at rendering HL2.
