Sometimes it's good to be a gamer.

bktheirregularI saw the following poll on a game news site today:
Which of these will happen before Half-Life 2 goes gold?
- The Summer Olympics
- The Presidential Election
- The Manned Mission to Mars
- The Mars Summer Olympics
For the non-gamers who read: "going gold" is equivalent to a book going to press (traditionally, the CD containing the publishing print of the game would be gold-colored). And Half-Life 2 is a trouble-plagued (technology issues, victimized by hackers, programming source code stolen) sequel to what many consider one of the greatest computer games of all time.
...has anyone on the flist played/heard of Half-Life?
