The Orange Box

[Patrick Vervoorn]

Hey,

Last evening I got another Steam platform update, and after that, a pop-up
I could pre-order The Orange Box, which I promptly did.

They even included a freebie, the Popcap game 'Peggle' (or something)
which had some 'free' levels in the HL2 theme. Strangely addictive games,
these popcap games.

Anyway, according to the same popup, TF2 should be first part of The
Orange Box that should be available, on sept. 17... Looking forward to
that; I did play a lot of the original Team Fortress. ;)

As to when Episode 2 and Portal come out, I guess I'll have to wait and
see.

It's also a nice guesture they allow you to give-away the 'doubles' you
get with The Orange Box; I'll probably make my little brother happy with
Episode 1, and I'll have to find a 'worthy' recipient for HL2 itself. ;)

Regards,

Patrick.

"Orange Box", my ass.

Personally, I'd rather keep what I already paid for, and pay the same
price I paid for "Ep1+ Sin2" for "Ep2 + TF2". If that was available,
I'd buy today (like I did at first bite for Ep1).

So I'll go with the inevitable warez Ep2, and maybe buy it when the
price is less of a rip-off. Valve are experimenting with this
package, and I'll be voting with my copy of Azureus.
