<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Nov. 16th. It looks like those of us who purchased over Steam will have to wait until then to get the game though. I'm kinda upset about that because I could have sworn we would have been able to get the game before it's store shelf release. I guess not though.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, I've been wondering if World of WarCraft and EverQuest are really coming out Nov. 15, cause they haven't gone gold yet, it ususally takes a month right?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Naw, 2-3 weeks Tops.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>I've pre-loaded the entire thing, so when it comes out i'll be able to play right away.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>meh, we got CS:Source, i've been fragging away for the past week on that thing. It gets real fun again when you havent played it in a while.</div>

[Tessian]

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>do you have XFire? With a small tweak it'll work with CS:Source, that way we can all trade handles and join each other's servers</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>doesnt steam have a built in buddy/friends system?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>...but the damn thing doesn't work half the time, and the other half of the time it works real slow. I don't understand why they haven't improved that, unless more people just don't use it, which could be true. I don't know.</div>

[Tessian]

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>I've never gotten it to work since getting CS:S. If they don't bother fixing it NO ONE will use it</div>
