As of writing, there are now less than 24 hours before Black Mesa is released. After losing and regaining interest a couple of times during it's development, I am now pretty psyched to think it will be available in less than a days time.
BLACK MESA
Do you have any plans? Are you just going to sit and power through it in a single session or play a bit at a time, savoring every moment. Are you having a day off work or school to play it? Are you going to record a let's play, or are you planning to review it?
Personally, I will be going to work as normal since the countdown ends at 15:45 for me. Little point in skipping work to wait around all day. What I will do however is give my wife a call in order to start the download as soon as she can.
As for playing it, I will no doubt play through it in large chunks, maybe 3 sittings, and I plan on recording gameplay in order to do either a "Gentleman plays" series of 10 minute vids or 3 or 4 short highlights videos with captions and whatnot.
So... do tell...

I mean I only have around 2 days off before I get my computer, and I'll be spending them making sure I know how to drive sufficiently to obtain my license. So not much gaming time to speak of.
Ill probably just wait, and enjoy it to its fullest on an actual day off. I will probably finish it in one sitting in that case.
I do plan to play it as soon as I get home though. I will take my time to play through its entirety, savoring each scene and moment.
You only get one first impression, and I plan to enjoy it to its fullest.
Then I'll play it as much in one go as I can without skipping meals or losing sleep, and savor all of it.
Then I'll play it again.
Anyway since my PC went to freezing town I'll have to see how Mesa is. Certain games bring out the freezing more than others. Either way I'm veryyyyyyyy curious to see the level design changes and the "artistic story moments" they've added.
There are only 2 gamers in my office, including me. The other, our tech, has an elaborate plan which would force the office to close early.
"We'd only lose Friday afternoon's business (aka. none) and we'd be home in time to make a cup of coffee before starting the download."
Seriously though, when 5pm rolls around I will be heading home with my foot on the floor and my wipers on full.
Now for the internal debate over whether I should get it today or leave it a week. D:

Massive trolling.
Rage.
So ATDestroy, no, you just need a week and a half. I'll be back in more than two.
It's so beautiful.
