Half-Life 2 Episode One Delayed
Folks looking forward to their next fix from City 17 will have to wait a few more days than expected. The last time a release date was announced, they were aiming for April 24th. Now folks are going to have to wait for May 31st for the expansion to the hit game. From the Eurogamer article: "You're on top of an exploding building, okay, so how do you not all die. It answers a bunch of those questions. It also raises some questions about what the G-Man's real role is in the Half-Life universe, so there are some surprises there for people". Here's hoping it is worth the wait.
...so now what I am supposed to do for the month of May?
Maybe the G-man doesn't want his role revealed. I wouldn't doubt it'd be too hard for him to take out a few programmers everytime the release date nears.
That's because linux can do it better so who cares?
oh, wait, wrong delay.
Valve pushes back a release date.
In other news, water is still wet.
Of course, when they *do* finish, their games tend to be pretty great. So I don't mind.
How about we post news articles when things actually do ship on time.
If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.
I mean, in other FPS games, you're a space marine or some variant. In Half Life, you're a theoretical physicist. It gives hope to one such as myself, who aspires to be an observational astrophysicist.
That's actually the most plausable theory I've seen so far. It's so plausable in fact, that the only way you could have known about it is if you've seen Episode Ten and traveled back in time to post this message. Thanks a lot you spoil sport!
