We're all on edge of our seats here. Hot on the heels of rumors that Half-Life 2 may be delayed again, due to litigation, there now comes some nice warm fact to soothe us. Steam News has announced that the fourth installment of the game's pre-load started yesterday. This round includes the majority of Counter-Strike: Source (in encrypted form, of course), which makes the game seem much closer now. We know a number of people out there who have signed onto this pre-load initiative, and are very impressed with what they've seen so far. Valve may very well be on the cutting edge of game distribution. Think about it, no more trips to Gamestop, unless you want to hear a lot of loud chatter about this week's "best game ever!" Yeah, it's snobby-mood night. Sorry.
