CoD 1 & 2, Half-Life with Opposing Force and Blue Shift, CounterStrike, Age of Empires 3, Star Wars Battlefront I and II, Alpha Centauri... so many awesome games
I also just re-discovered the sheer jaw-dropping awesomeness of Half-Life 2 and Portal, it's been a good few weeks!
LAN? Christ, it's been a while. HL2 and Portal are just... wow. I played through Portal for the millionth time a few weeks ago, and I finish HL2 every once in a while as well.
lol it's Valve though, so you should have expected a delay and you should be happy that it's such a short one!
I loved the official announcement:
This two month slip not only marks the shortest delay in Valve's proud tradition of delays, it represents the approaching convergence of Valve Time and Real Time.
This convergence spells doom for humanity, but it will not affect the new Portal 2 release date.
I'd buy it even if it were exactly as good as the original. But with extra gameplay mechanics, a longer single-player campaign, and a co-op campaign just as long, how could this not be a winner? I hope the writing is as funny. GLaDOS is one of my favourite game characters.
By the way, get this on your PS3 and Valve will give you the Mac/PC version for free.
This has been a crazy pre-order year for me so far.

Can I haz episode 3 plz? (Or HL3).
Oh, found this:
Yeah I cannot wait for Episode 3 and Portal 2 looks like it's gonna be even better than the original I love the addition of the radio transmissions in the latest updates to Portal so I enjoyed that additional challenge in my playthroughs
Civ V and Bad Company 2 online.
I'm also playing through a Gothic 3 nostalgia kick, being more thorough than the first time I played and going for a different ending.
