back in 2005 my friend and I were obsessed with the game and I told him I'd build a new computer when HL3 released because mine barely ran HL2. I still think about that for some reason and how crazy it would have been to us then that HL3 would simply never come

You‘ll get a huge performance boost though when it finally comes out

Reminds me of a one-sided bet eight-year-old me made with my dad in 1986; he reluctantly agreed to buy me an Atari 1040ST (to complement the 8-bit Atari and PC/AT clone I already had at the time) if the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl.

Imagine my (lack of) disappointment when he refused to honor the arrangement twenty years later.
