    Now all I have to do is twiddle my thumbs until my copy drops through the door (yes I'm getting a physical copy, not a steam purchase.) I think I'll get the collector's edition when that comes out too.

    I kept saying to myself, every time an item of HL2 news came out "oh, I'm not even excited about it any more." But now... now... OH YES, I AM EXCITED! I might wear my Half-Life t-shirt tomorrow to celebrate.

    and about time too....

    All we need is that STALKER ( no not that one that keeps sending me silly messages ) and that should keep us all busy for a few months.

    I hope HL2 has more mods than HL1 - now that would be awesome
