In this one interview I saw somewhere, Gabe Newell was talking about HL2. And he specifically said that Barney CALHOUN was making a comeback. So thus, Barney in HL2 is indeed Barney from Blue Shift. Now, we need to be on the lookout for Shepherd. I bet he'll factor back into the story at some...
Hell, yeah... And I like Mullinator's idea... Gordon with realistic crowbar-swinging action... WHEE.
Idunno, maybe the figures would be about 6 inches tall (well, the human/humanoid ones, anyways) with highly articulated limbs... whee! Would be fun. I'd make some myself, but I'm too damn lazy...
Though I'm not having much luck in doing the same with the G-man's "mumbling" wavs, I've deciphered most of the speech in the scientist's "mumbling" wav. The filename is c1a0_sci_mumble.wav and is located in the main Half-Life pak file, (the \valve\ directory) pak0.pak\sounds\scientist\
"I've...
I noticed that Barney was in Combine uniform, too... at least it was madly similar. Who knows? Maybe he just stole the uniform for the armor, or perhaps he does some spying for the resistance? Whee.
So true, Shodan... but it wouldn't appear that enemies explode all too much... on video #6, I believe, Gordon chucks a grenade behind a couple Combine that're shooting at him from behind a sandbag blockade. When the grenade goes off, the bodies go flying... So my best guess is that at least at...
Grr.... hearing about this leak just tempts me to go looking... pleeeeeeeeeease don't tempt me.... I wanna be kinda surprised when I first play the retail...
I loved the original Half-Life soundtrack... I listen to most of the tracks pretty often. Of course, I like techno/industrial-type music quite a bit, so I suppose it was only natural for me. XD
Whee... I think I hit a nerve, there. o.o'
But here's something I think you'd find interesting:
Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933, by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC.
And yes, even though the vast majority of us Americans hate to admit it, a lot of the danger to our nation comes...
Kastro: The Nihilanth is a psychic being... that's how he knew who Freeman was. He wasn't even really TALKING to Gordon, he was projecting his thoughts directly to him.
Also, dig this speculation of mine:
And note that in that, I'm assuming that the G-man isn't involved in a human...
Gibs? Some gibs are good... but not a lot. It just depends upon the situation that gibs would be appropriate... but they should be less distinctly what they're intended to be. But I'd also love lopping off whole limbs. That would be fun... and as mentioned previously, it would be...
Nihilanth quotes are ALWAYS helpful in this sort of thing... heheh.
Anyhoo, I've always thought that Gordon and the G-man are somehow related. Probably not through family, but perhaps Gordon was somehow genetically altered in the past due to intervention or experimentation by the G-man or his...
