This should be a poll.

Damn, I was gonna post this exact thread. Anyway, it just struck me that one interesting thing about the grav gun vs. the crowbar is that the grav gun almost never finds its way into the concept art. Look through RTB. It's crowbar this and crowbar that and Gordy 'ow's your soul. I don't...

Hmmm...well, don't forget that Counter-Strike began life as a mod and went on to become one of the most popular computer games ever.

While we're at it, what did everyone think of the Gametrailers review? http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26398.html I found it kind of odd that a review that comes across as so positive would award the game a mere 9.3 (the lowest score posted on Metacritic's entry for the 360 version to...

Aw man. If the Halo fanboys get wind of this, we'll never hear the end of it.

Yeah, I dunno. Anyone who self-identifies as a "pop cuture expert"... Vould you like von last zigarette, Fraulein? (blam)

OK, prepare to be furious: http://www.g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/blog/post/679992/The_Loop_Week_In_Review.html#readmore At least Kevin Pereira does his part to defend the game in the face of vacuous and ill-informed criticism. Personally, I just think it's a shame that they would have...

Some equations for resistance are listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_%28physics%29 Not sure if this is what I'd heard about though.

That is a good one. But are Resistance members and zombies even in the same place at the same time in Ep. 1?

"They will look for Breen's coming from the Citadel tower. But he will not return."

I think Valve should make t-shirts that just have the simple lambda in circle design on them (rather than the whole HL2 logo with the name of the game written underneath). It's just such a great emblem for the HL mythos and lambda/circle alone would be far cooler than what their putting out now.

Love it.

Breen. He still has the best speeches and the greatest last words in the history of game villainy, bar none (sorry Hitler, you don't cut it).

A specific bit of graffiti Hey, does anyone know what that bit of graffiti that supposedly spells out the equation for calculating resistance in physics is and where in the game it can be found? I'd like to add it to version 2 of this doc (whenever I get around to making it).

Duh. Black Mesa. They have a much better logo (two if you count the Lamba Team symbol). Also, do we have any idea how well the portal gun would handle the launching of cinder blocks at high velocity? I'm guessing not very well.

Evil Alyx? I'm waiting to see how Mossman'll take it.

I haven't played the game yet, but I'll say this much: Barney didn't need to be in Ep. 2. I love the guy, but whatever works for the story works for me--and it sounds like there's plenty going on as is. He's obviously still alive somewhere and I'm sure we'll be seeing him again.

I used a keyboard. You really just have to persevere until the controls click. Developing a knack for slicing those pesky construction workers with your rotors doesn't hurt either.

A good commentary. The fellow who made it manages to keep things fresh by focussing on his own personal impressions of the game rather than things that have been remarked on a million times before. A couple of things I noticed: --During the montage of Father Grigori quotes,the much talked...

Heh heh. Lots of votes for ol' Nili. Actually, I have a funny story about that: way back in the day when the original HL came out, I was over at a friend's house playing it. He'd allowed me to start a new game, but in the course of playing I accidentally erased his quicksaves of an ongoing...
