I must have missed this with all the excitement and coverage of Half-Life 2. It seems like Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines will be out on November 16, the same day as Half-Life 2. That’s another 40+ hours of playing time on top of the 20-odd hours in Half-Life 2. Goodbye life! No wait… I don’t have a life.

3 more days to Half-Life 2. The wait is killing me. I’m also mulling over how I should get Half-Life 2. Should I get the cheaper Standard Edition (SGD69.90) that comes in a whopping 6 CDs (5 + 1 for CS:Source), or the Collectors’ Edition (SGD129.90) that comes in a convenient single DVD (plus a shirt and, I think, a strategy guide). Or perhaps getting it from Steam? The Gold package looks pretty sweet (and naturally, so does the price tag). But you do get a whole lot more gimmicks (because that’s what they are) sans a physical copy of the game itself. I guess I’m just not so comfortable with that (and the USD89.95 price tag).
So, take a look at the Half-Life 2 Package FAQ. Let me know what you are getting. It’s something to keep you occupied while you (we) wait.
(Anybody have any idea whether the Collectors’ Edition comes with the strategy guide? The Package FAQ I posted above has conflicting information - the first post says it comes with a “Prima book sampler”, the later press release says it comes with a “Half-Life 2 Prima strategy guide book”.)

Just posted a Opera 7.60 Preview 3 entry at Forever Geek (where I have posted too seldom these days). Firefox fans, don’t be offended or surprised - I still love Firefox! But really, Opera seems to have had some improvements ever since our very own Asa Dotzler ranted about the horrible-ness of its UI.

Update: OK it’s official.
Go to Firefox 1.0 EN-US FTP release directory. You can also get it via BitTorrent at http://bittorrent.mozilla.org:6969/ (thanks Michael).
mozilla.org is down right now, so you can try getting from Firefox 1.0 EN-US FTP release directory if the main Mozilla Firefox page doesn’t load up for you.
News around the web and the, er, blogosphere:
When it’s officially released, you’ll be able to get it at the usual place -> http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
More later. Work now.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines ships the same day as Half-Life 2
