Uh, that's not it at all. :) I'm looking for the one where he specificly uses the word "canon."

I have searched for it and I haven't found the source as of yet.

Does anyone remember where Marc made the statement about Op4 being "canon, but doesn't affect anything."? I've been trying to track it down but I can only find threads discussing it and nothing actually directing to the source.

Alternatively, you can just type "commentary 1" into the console.

Uh, we already know how long Aftermath is. Gabe posted about it in his FAQ. Valve is aiming for five hours and Gabe's last complete run-through clocked in at six hours. http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Gabe_Newell%27s_FAQ

If you had actually read the thread, you might have noticed that we have been discussing the VERY POINTS YOU BROUGHT UP for the past few days.. So I reiterate, did you actually read this thread? The entire thread?

Have you even read this thread?

I don't get what your saying about it "popped in" though. Like I said; that equipment is better put to use taking over new dimensions than sitting around the borderworld during a time where you already have conrol of a race that's adapted to defending the terrain. So the Nihilanth's race...

Humans looking down from their apartment buildings will see it as it patrols the streets below. Not sure what your talking about here. And it could also be the sum total of what the Combine felt they had to leave behind on Xen. Considering Race-X and Xen didn't like each other very much...

Actually, B is the bigger assumption, as it requires the creation of an entirely new entity that hasn't even been alluded to, when a prior existing entity already fits the bill. (Not that it totally precludes the new entity, as the sudden unvieling of a previously unknown enemy in the place of...

No, I didn't. I was commenting on the quote from Lombardi. :) They may have very well of done that during the 7-hour war, but most of their crap is produced on Earth now anyway. Between the Synth produced in the Citidel to the human convertions. Other than for local transport (Which...

You really want to get into this argument again? The Synth had no reason to be on Xen at the time of the resonance cascade. With the Nihilanth, the Combine had enslaved the entire Vortigaunt population. Being that there's going to be no revolts or rebellions, there's no reason to leave the...

Not to drag this down into a argument about interpretations and whatnot, but the Nihilanth and his race never demonstrated the ability to use an Earth(Or other location) Xen relay system. All of their teleportations were either from the Borderworld to Earth or from the Borderworld to the...

Half-Life got a Game of the Year edition back in the day. It's basically a big "HEY! PEOPLE LIKED OUR GAME SO WHY NOT TRY IT OUT!" sign. Plus, as mentioned before, EA got the distribution rights to HL2 so they had to put out their own package; might as well slap GotY on it.

Delete your clientregistry.blob and see if that helps. If not, delete the cache file and try redownloading it.

Just wanted to chime in here; The quote could imply that the Combine chased the Nihilanth from their homeworld, into Xen (As in, followed them to Xen) and then later conquered Earth by way of Xen. It's pretty vague either way and really only proves the Combine and Xen knew about each other prior...

While this doesn't say whether or not the Combine knew about Xen pre-Half-Life (It could be taken as either the Combine chased the Nihilanth/Vortigaunts to Xen and then lost track of them, or that they Combine chased the Nihilanth/Vortigaunts into Xen and beat them there) it at least confirms...

You sure about that? I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the .wav files. Keller just says they were in a harmonic reflux.

Actually, it's incredibly easy to tell where Decay ends in relation to Blue Shift.. After you kill the boss in decay, you get teleported... while your in the limbo area between dimensions you hear Dr. Rosenburgs "Calhoun! You must hurry" warning from the End of "Focal Point" in Blue Shift...

One of the explanations for the lack of Xen aliens towards the end of Op4 is becuase the Nihilanth was killed by that time, so I'd say Op4 ends last.
