Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / April 2007Approx date for HL2 EP2, anyone?
Sorry if this has been asked too many times, but I didn't find it in this newsgroup. I believe I saw somewhere, at least a couple months ago that it would be ready for the 1st quarter of 2007. Considering we're mid March I would imagine it'll be ready until next month (as it is the last month of Q1). Has anyone heard otherwise?

Different sites are reporting different release time frames for these Episode 2 packages. Yahoo is reporting a Fall 2007 release date. Their source is a direct copy and paste of a press release from EA. CVG is going a different route and stating that a Winter 2007 release date has been confirmed. They state their information comes from the bottom of a press release where the "Winter 2007" was tucked in at the end. Finally, GamerSquad has both a Winter 2007 and Fall 2007 mention in their article."

Get over the appearance thing... Actually, speaking of appearances, and having learned from my skooldaze how piccalilli could save my corned-beef sarnies, I once took some rather tasty tuna-mayonnaise (and lemon juice and black pepper) sandwiches on a gig. However, knowing that the other vultures in the band would most likely attempt to purloin my lunch, I took the precaution of adding just one drop of blue food-colouring to the mix. For some strange reason, I couldn't give the things away, even after explaining the reason. Illogical. >>>>>> I reckon September... >>>>> 30th...

People is nice with apple sauce, horseradish or mustard - no right thinking person would surely use Marmite for that? > People is nice with apple sauce, horseradish or mustard This is aghl, so maybe we'd better be more specific: *Babies* is nice with apple sauce, etc..... Ah, you americans and your wilful blindness to the world's greatest cuisines... reminds me of Mr_Whoopass's visit to the UK, where he had his first ever Indian meal. The dark secret, of course, is that no-one actually likes marmite, but decades of parental propaganda means we've been forced to eat it without gagging or face ridicule. Sprouts are the same. And decent strawberry jam on a well-toasted slice of Warburton's Seeded Batch is a treat, there's no point in denying it. ___ Neil aka HighVis -- >. > > And decent strawberry jam on a well-toasted slice of Warburton's Seeded > Batch is a treat, there's no point in denying it.

The clue was in the word 'slice' :) It's really, really nice bread, and I hate the fact that they've decided to make it a 'premium' product by charging £1.40 a loaf for it. Still, it seems to stay fresh for longer than others, so I guess it's bearable. Interesting sidenote: I hadn't realised what 'batch' meant before reading that website, but the real-world outcome of making a wide loaf with really soft sides is that you make sandwiches by folding a slice in half along the long edge (otherwise the top crust bends oddly, and it won't stay flat), and you end up with long, thin sandwiches that you can just about take bites out of as if it were a hot dog. OK, not so interesting really. ___ Neil aka HighVis -- > It's really, really nice bread, and I hate the fact that they've > decided to make it a 'premium' product by charging £1.40 a loaf for it. > Still, it seems to stay fresh for longer than others, so I guess it's > bearable. Can't say I've ever found plant bread to be better than 'real' freshly baked bread (from a bakery, or even just from a breadmaker machine) - without all the nasty preservatives and other rubbish that warburtons add. IMHO, bread should last no more than a day when its fresh :) (although day-old bread is great for toasting) SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench > WTF IS BRANSTON and MARMITE!??? > > Whatever happened to a good slice of toast with strawberry jam.

Traditionally it's said that those who pronounce 'scone' to rhyme with 'bone' are commoners, whereas the aristocracy are supposed to pronounce it as if it rhymed with 'gone'. It's a bit of an urban myth, since a) scones aren't exactly high-class food items, and b) you can make either pronounciation sound either snobby or common just by changing your inflection.
