:dozey: Well, we won't see any of that until the Resistance can knock out the Combine Suppression Field that is preventing all human pregnancy. And then Alyx will have to get Gordon out of that armor and into a shower, first - remember, he's been up to his armpits in sweat, blood and filth...

I, in fact, own the worst martial arts movie of all time. It's called "Fantasy Mission Force." It is the biggest piece of crap the kung-fu world has ever seen. It makes other crappy, low-budget Hong Kong pieces of trash look like Citizen Kane. It has no plot whatsoever. It is dubbed over...

*clutches heart* Don't even joke abou that, man! Uwe Boll is the anti-director!

I concur with the initial emotion behind the message, though I think I'm a little more willing to give the President credit. The idea of Americans having both their "guns and their butter," as LBJ put it on the eve of Vietnam, is very dangerous. I know it's hard to ask this of people today...

Wow... using "gay" as an insult is one thing, but "Jew"? That would piss me right off - if I was playing World of Warcraft and someone used that as an insult, I'd kick them out of my group, warn my guild about them, and report them to the GMs so fast their antisemitic heads would spin...

Quest for Glory isn't getting the love it deserves - except for 4, which was rather disappointing, but 1-3 were great and 5 was ok. Quest for Glory: the original adventure/RPG hybrid!

Quest for Glory 1 had really catchy music, considering the inherent limitations of the old MIDI sound cards. I can still hum the Dryad Music, the Title Music, and the Goblin Training Grounds music now, despite not having played the game in probably eight or nine years. Oh, Tetris, especially...

I agree with Samon on this one - like I mentioned in the Originus Overwatchus thread, I believe that most of the Overwatch and all of the metrocops are still mostly human, not aliens or machines. There's is plenty of evidence of this - everything from the "oh, s***!" when you toss a grenade...

Somewhere, far above them in the citadel, there was a massive explosion. The lift ground to a shuddering halt, throwing the two scientists off their feet. Dr. Judith Mossman tumbled into Dr. Eli Vance, and the two of them crashed to the floor of the lift, the lift that was hopefully bringing...

Curses! I'll have to play through again and transcript the dialogue, I'm obviously misremembering.

Ha! If Kleiner is evil, than he and the G-man are in it together. It's up to Alyx, Barney, and Otis (yes, Otis, the fat man with the big gun!) to rescue Freeman and stop his mad schemes! *laughs* That's just silly.

Wait, what didn't happen? "...with the possible exception of you" is in Black Mesa East (Alyx looks embarrassed, Eli smirks, then winks at you as soon as Alyx's back is turned). "I'm not saying goodbye" is first heard when Alyx is talking to Eli in Nova Prospekt, the first time you manage to...

...whoah. I had totally forgotten about that. The implications of that completely blow my mind.

Actually, I was discussing this in my Global Studies: Terrorism class and one thing that was brought up was the moderating influence that being in power has. After all, who has screwed up the last two peace processes? Hamas has, through car bombs, bus bombs, and kick-starting a new intifadeh...

... wants to see more of Alyx (and her crush on Gordon! :naughty: ) in Aftermath? I've been reading through some of the old archives on the board and there seems to be a serious antipathy towards Alyx as a character within the Half Life universe. Personally, I thought that the "plot...

Heh... when I heard "far distant eyes look out through yours," I thought it was a reference to you, the player, playing the game Half Life through Gordon Freeman's eyes. I actually had a fan fic idea of Gordon sitting back in the rebel base, talking to Alyx, and describing all of these dreams...

Dr. Kleiner is obviously just a fan of old movies. He named his (female) pet headcrab Lamarr in honor of the actress Hedi Lamar. Get it? Heady Lamarr? Well, I thought it was funny. Oh yeah, where would I be able to find a copy of these transcripts? I, unfortunately, don't have Blue...

I could have sworn that I was running around low on health and Alyx looked at me with a really concerned expression on her face and said "Gordon, you look terrible, be careful," or something like that. And the rebels care! "Dr. Freeman, be sure to reload!" "Here, have this medkit, Dr...

Ooh, never thought of that. Or, at the least, mandatory loyalty reprogramming (i.e. get turned into a Stalker). It would go along with the whole "suppress your instincts" line. And, since the Overwatch Lady uses the term "Sterilize" when ordering Metrocops to wipe out the rebel base, I'm...

Right. And bullsquids, houndeyes, and even the big critters like Grunts or Gargantua (maybe) have figured out that big, fortified human settlements, whether they be rebel towns like Ravenholme or Combine forts, have lots of defenders with guns. Even a Gargantua isn't going to charge a...
