Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / June 2004Gabe in an almost funny and endearing moment
" In an interview on Homelan I said we were planning on delivering the game to Sierra in August, and subsequently I've been bombarded with emails asking me if that is accurate. Yep, to the best of our admittedly weak planning abilities, we are looking at August." That and more here: http://tinyurl.com/2lezx (hl2fallout.com) - -- Frode > " In an interview on Homelan I said we were planning on delivering the game > to Sierra in August, and subsequently I've been bombarded with emails > asking me if that is accurate. > > Yep, to the best of our admittedly weak planning abilities, we are looking > at August." One very BIG problem here Sierra is closing down http://www.gigex.com/general/article/?id=6956&game_id=&source=00001 Thursday ? June 24 ? 2004 http://www.planethalflife.com - Peter >> to Sierra in August, and subsequently I've been bombarded with emails >> asking me if that is accurate. >One very BIG problem here >Sierra is closing down No biggie when it comes to HL2 as far as I can tell. Not like Sierra's had anything to do with it except wait for Valve. Now some other Vivendi person gets to do the same instead. - -- Frode > No biggie when it comes to HL2 as far as I can tell.

Oh yes, no problems for HL2 indeed More a comment on Gabe's comment - Peter >Oh yes, no problems for HL2 indeed >More a comment on Gabe's comment It's Gabe of "For sure sept 30!" fame. He got the year wrong on that one, gotto cut him some slack and let him get the company wrong nowadays.

DukeNukem Forever coming Real Soon! Tell me something...have you ever seen a working demo of Duke Nukem Forever? Recent screen shots? Movie files? Anything at all? Have you seen all of these things for Half-Life 2? So, why the comparison that just won't seem to die?

I mean, it's not like there's a playable alpha available on the net of HL2 that the paranoid can have a look at to confirm the game is real. Oh wait, there is. Blimey. DNF on the other hand? Well, they do have that very nice 5ish year old screenshot of the dude by the watertower. - -- Frode >> Well hey, if he's saying "August release" speaking for 2004, then we >> can all look forward to September. 2005. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Mike Damn, I forgot the wink/smile Mike. I am actually fine with whenever HL2 is released. This is also an implicit statement I am convinced it IS real and actually not that far from completion. I adopted the iD stance for them "It's done when it's done!", and I won't worry about it. Same for Doom3, which I will also buy as soon as it's on the shelf. And the answer to the questions is too obvious. Of course we've seen solid proof HL2 is 'being done and workable'. It's not vaporware. McG. >>> Well hey, if he's saying "August release" speaking for 2004, then we >>> can all look forward to September. 2005.

I must admit The Sims has long been a guilty pleasure of mine... (it's what I use for "down time" in between more hard-core gaming sessions...)

It just sucks me in, against all reasonable restraint.
