During that time, Black Mesa will be released, but you’re not allowed to play until you present your report.
Since we’re considering postponing to celebrate people’s birthdays, it’ll be my 40th on the 1st Feb 2016… might as well push it back to then to take advantage of all teh kewl engine updaets…
(and by the way, thanks for making me laugh like a drain Psyborg & Ram!) 
if its not out by the first second of 2010 (sydney time) then I’m absolutely certain that it’s not getting released until duke nukem forever goes gold.
It’ll be my birthday on Dec 3, release it then.
It’ll make no difference to me anyway… when the mod is released I’ll be unable to play cause of my darn university wireless servers blocking Steam and I won’t be home for a long while, perhaps Christmas but I’ll be out and about too much to be playing it V_V.
Darn Higher Education! XD
By the time It’s released, I’ll have a desktop that will be able to play it.
I hope you’re planning to purchase shortly then.
It’ll be hitting a webseeded torrent as soon as I can get my hands on it and upload it to Mininova’s Content Distribution servers. My connection gives about 30mbps down and 8mbps up at absolute full speed, so in theory, if the game was 5GB I could pull it down in 23-30 minutes and get it uploaded about an hour to an hour and a half after that.
Mininova automatically seeds my torrents when necessary, so hopefully it’d help with the initial download rush a bit.
That’s provided of course that the release doesn’t happen while I’m asleep.
did you read My prediction?
it won’t be released in '09
Or more correctly, it is your opinion that it’s unlikely to be released in 2009. Stating does not make it so.
Releasing it on Thanksgiving would be nice.
It will be released when it’s ready.
Any sooner than that and it won’t be ready, even if it’s released.
That makes sense…
From what some people say, you would think that it didn’t make sense.
The best prank was the colored crystal in Diablo (somewhere) which was rumored that if you click it a certain way a certain number of times, something awesome will happen. Guess what, you will find the same functionality on Diablo 3 site, and already there are some running pranks “I got a demo of Diablo3 by clicking the crystal 666 times!” 
So, perhaps a flash game with pushing a carrier cart into a beam, which does nothing, as the download link will be located somewhere else on the screen…
Is it going to be like one of those “FREE IPOD” websites where we have to sign up to 400 promotions before we get the download link then?
They’ll release it and just not tell anyone or announce it on the website, just random links to the game around, that’ll show us.
Lol im guessing its not gunna be ready till 2010 now so… but meh im willing to wait however long it takes! no point in arguing and bitching about its release as id rather have a finished product than a beta that has loads of bugs and glitches lol.
I want to stress that it isn’t expect. They’re working as hard as they can.
