Pretty crazy really, i used to be a non stop gamer, 12 hours a day spec.. competed in clan matches, completed games within the first days of release.. then i got into partying, women, cars, etc ... and at this time half life 2 was released.. i got a copy but never really played it.. then last night at long last i decided to give it a blast and the way its withstood the test of time is amazing!.. just cant wait to finish work today to get back into it!
