Im Installing Half-Life2

[Doughnut]

Just a quick note to say that I thought Half-Life 2 was not being released
until tomorrow but my Local Tesco's is selling it now, So get your arses
down there and get a copy.

Have fun with it sitting there on your hard drive for 15 hours. It
can't be activated until midnight pacific USA time.

Well just to say its not sitting on my drive at all, i was playing it a few
minutes ago just to see if it was gunna work.

Had it sitting on my HD awaiting activation for a month, why should I
go out in the cold to buy it?

If true, upload a screen shot and post a link.

Not only is it cold outside, but there are nasty Gremlins around every
corner. I only feel safe when I have my tin hat on, and I'm curled-up under
my desk.

Trust me, you aren't even safe there! The dust-bunnies go rabid this time of
year...

No you weren't LIAR. HL2 won't work until the authentication servers at
Valve have been turned on.

Here you go LIAR:

Note this bit:
So, what happens to all those people who got their copy early? Well,
disappointment, you see, you can buy it early, install it early, and
even do fetishistic things with the packaging materials, but you can't
play it. To play it, you need to authenticate off Valve's servers, as
Wil pointed out in his earlier column. Valve is sticking to the
agreement they got stuck with. Ain't payback a bitch.

And how do you play if you don't have any Internet connection?

You don't. The requirements on the box specify that an internet connection
is required...

You're telling us we should ALL pop down to YOUR local Tesco's ???

 

[DaveL]

You can have a friend who has net access activate for you.

What box? It's supposed to come with my video card and there were no
requirements there.
