Half-Life 2. Now that's a name that stirs up a variety of emotions in gamers. Since it was announced almost a year ago, many gamers have moved from lust and desire to confusion and bitterness. Some have even gone straight to the "irrational venomous seething hate" level. The way some gamers talk about Half-Life 2 on Internet message boards around the world, you would think Valve had found the cure for cancer and is withholding it from the masses. I recall one poster who summed up his thoughts quite eloquently: "how culd u do tis to us wit teh liar!11!1! i hop u get hit by car and die!1!!11" Oh, the wonders of the Internet.
