Ah yes, forgot about that - so I guess they're not as mindless as I had hoped. ;)

So this is what happens to you when you watch too much BAD porn! :p :E

I'm sure this re-hashes a re-hash of a re-hash, but I also would prefer that the Striders be biomechanical monsters, and not "vehicles" of some sort. I presume they are creatures supplied by the "benefactor aliens" to fight the rebels. The Dr. supplies the troops, the aliens supply the...

Hahaha, sorry that was just me going off the deep end again. :p Never heard of Morteen in Canada... Like UltimaGecko said above, it's just some vague reference to an Ernest movie. He's supposed to get MILK and throw it at the monster, but since the word was missing the "L" he thought it was...

I think it's maybe just because they either stopped drinking the water, or they take something to neurtalize whatever it is that causes the amnesia. In 1984 people don't remember because of all the propaganda, lies, and reality altering information (which was Winston's job). Also, it seems...

City 17 is under siege and devastated. There is a lot of serious bitchmaking going on (as seen in every Strider battle to date), so....... It'd taste like Stalingrad that's what. :p

Don't you mean MIAK? You buy a carton of this stuff, run at it screaming "Bet you didn't think I could find any this time of year, did 'ya? NOW EAT MIAK AND DIE!!!!!" and throw it. Anyone remember Ernest Saves Christmas? :O

Actually, according to Jane's Guns Recognition Guide, the IMI Galil is produced in 7.62 x 51mm, which is also known as .308 Winchester. It's just "not as popular" as the 5.56mm version.

Did the experience of doing this "take you out of the game" and make the moment seem comical and ridiculous? What with that huge mountain of rockets that you must have needed and all... :E How about this vague question: Can you tell us how long it took you? :angel: I don't want to...

IIRC, "The Mist" is a short story in the book "Skeleton Crew".... I think. Pretty cool idea for a game I suppose (wait until you read the part about the highway and the huge holes in it ;)).

I forgot about one: The Combine Fortress Wall in the '03 Strider sequence. The metallic moaning, screeching noise it made when it moved forward was great! So was the sound of the wind howling through the corrugated metal walkways during the Source engine HDR Rendering Bink video - I thought...

Wasn't there a thread many months back that explained a lot of the sounds and images (like the green zombie splats when it was crowbarred) were "placeholder" effects? I agree, the wood breaking noise was great. I was impressed by that. A lot of the sounds all together, like in the opening...

Hmm.... this is a really good point I think. Yeah, I think it should sound more choked and gurgly. Now that I think about it, it was a bit too clear sounding. Also what about the headcrab itself? In HL1 it made all sorts of little noises, so you figure it'd be screaming too when you light...

If I wanna be unsettled I'll go out to eat at a popular restaurant and watch the way one of my friends ogle the hot waitresses.... :naughty: Seriously though, it's not the end of the world and it's not going to ruin the game for me, but I have a dim view on the "shock value" of things...

Great! I just happen to have a poll option perfect for you! :E :laugh:

I finally got around to downloading the 2004 E3 video a while ago (hey, the thing is huge!) and watched it a few times. I found it very good and revealing except for the fact that the zombies screamed bloody murder when they were set on fire. Somehow I found this very off-putting. I don't...

Here's my "ideas" about what should come with the CE from this thread http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=22008&highlight=bling ;) :E

I'll be in the "wait and see" camp for this when we actually have it available. It depends on what the "and more" part means, but I think having a few Source conversions would be nice and could possibly sway me. For things like this I tend to try to figure out (or guestimate) how much...

Oh yes, I forgot about that. I admit I don't know much about PCI Express after hearing of its existance. Time to read up on it and see when it's due to come out then.... Hopefully it will be in time for HL2 so that it drives down the price of the "old crap"! :E

Since HL2 or Doom 3 aren't out yet, I am going to wait as long as I can before buying and hope (pray? ;)) that the price of the X800 Pro comes down to a more reasonable level. Some of the benchmarks I've seen for Far Cry (probably a good indication of the future) with full AA/AF on show over...
