There’s the article. Just heard about it… Sounds like a good excuse to play HL2 again. Anyone else going to participate?
Oh hell yes I am so down for this.
I was planning on playing it anyway.
19h February 4th ? Crap, I won’t be behind my computer but you guys should do it and avenge me.
Do people really expect this to help?
I don’t think it will help.
It will be fun playing HL2 again though, just played Blue-Shift last weekend for the first time in years. I’ll probably try to beat it in one sitting and stream it over xfire or something instead of playing it for only 30 minutes like the “protest” says.
Oh well, I finished HL2, Ep1 & 2 two days ago… For the 234th time. I can’t bear to play it again, I really know where almost everything is.
Wait, they’re playing the game for 30 minutes?
Oh the dedication.
Eat shit.
Lol ya from 11:00AM to 1130AM PDT
On the steam community page (https://steamcommunity.com/groups/messagetovalve) they encourage you to play it longer than 30 mins but want everyone on between those times
PDT is USA pacific time right?
Yup.

I won’t be joining the steamgroup, but I’ll be playing at least a few hours of HL2 on the weekend.
I’ll probably play for a while as well. I don’t expect this to do anything but it’ll get HL2 up on the top played games on Steam for a bit hopefully. That’s really the only point of doing this.
Well, unless you kidnap Valve’s devs families and send them an ultimatum where you ask for news about HL3 or begin kill an hostage every hour, we’ll stay in a total blackout no matter what.
I’m pretty sure something similar was already done. It didn’t change anything.
EDIT: The funny thing is, I already am in that group and I didn’t even know about this protest until I read this thread. I don’t really read their announcements. I wonder how many people like me are there in that group.
they should change the group profile pic to “PLAY HL2 THIS WEEKEND!!!”
eh…
These guys are idiots.
I’ll probably play it then if I remember it. Just cause it’s a good game and I havn’t played it in a while, this little protest thing isn’t going to work though.
Well, unless by some freak chance Gabe thinks it is an amusing contrast to the L4D2 boycott and decides to throw us a bone.
I found this funny though https://kotaku.com/5881112/new-tease-for-black-mesa-the-greatest-half+life-remake-that-never-was
“Black Mesa is an independent remake of the original Half-Life that’s been in development since the end of the First World War.”
Just reading the title for this, I thought pretty much the same thing as the first line of the article.
LOL Sounds like a great day!~
