Personally I’ll be stuffing myself silly, laughing nostalgically at how much my niece loves getting presents whilst my hidden inner child enjoys it just as much, stuffing myself silly again, and steadily getting roaring drunk because either people don’t know enough about me to get me anything other than alcoholic drinks for Christmas, or they know me so well they don’t get me anything other than alcoholic drinks for Christmas.
Probably the best option.
Playing Crysis at maximum resolutions or Dead Space at maximum resolutions on my Windows 7 gaming rig. At least that’s what I’ll be doing while I wait. If it comes out on January 1, 2010, I’m fine with that.
I’ll likely be getting a gaming computer after this comes out JUST to be able to play this Beast.
showing off much ?
I hate the presents part, but the family reunions + drunkness + infinite food is great.
That, and playing BM, of course.
you must not like birthdays
Well I wasn’t talking to you, was I? :hmph:
Hmmmm, so far I haven’t been the sort to dwell on the mod’s release but I do believe I’ll hazard a guess and say that the new front page/assorted testing footage on youtube just MAY be a good sign wouldn’t you think? The super obvious aside Heh, I’m starting to get a bit excited now, seems just on the horizon doesn’t it? Ah well it’s been a fun five years lurking and all that good stuff. The question is what sight will we obsessively check every day once Black Mesa is out? Duke Nukem? HA! Hmmm, hows that blue-shift team coming along… Pfft amateurs.
Honestly now what will become of the community after all is said and done? Back to the four corners of the world with us I suppose. Any thoughts?
If there was one thing that stood out about you that I remember (and there aren’t, there’s actually quite a few more), it would be your hate for Christmas. 
I feel a release incoming. Perhaps within the next two months…
November will be a special month
How can a holiday or time of year be ‘hypocritical’? That bit of anthropomorphism confuses me a little.
Christmas Day, much like any other day of the year, is what you make of it. If you do something fun on it, then it’s a fun day. /shrug
last year the holiday was “eventful” to say the least.
My sister cut herself opening the packaging for her new MP3 player and passed out due to her ironic (she’s into Vampires) and unknown phobia of blood (we ended up calling the EMT)
I helped my little cousin construct his Lego coast guard Helicopter kit.
we ended up being helped by the Centerburg Sheriff when our Ford Windstar acted up on nthe way home
I’m guessing black mesa will be released in december.
i wonder, will we even know the release is coming? Might we be notified a week or so in advance or will we all just stop by the website one morning to see “NOW RELEASED!”?
Personally, i don’t want a release date announcement. i just want the game to show up for download without warning. With any luck i’ll be having a crappy day so BM can pick me up. if i’m having a good day then BM would make the rest of the day’s events suck in comparison.
