Makes sense, dosen't it. After all, the HEV suit is designed to recognize weapons the user is carrying and displays ammo in its HUD It's also true that: 1. BM was at least partly a military installation (there was an Apache helicopter inside the facility!). 2. Security was clearly...

I briefly got stuck in the area with the electrified fence and all the flame traps. I couldn't figure out how to enter the building where Father G is first spotted. Then, as I was driting off to sleep that night, it occurred to me what I was overlooking.

Really? I like it when that happens. It's kind of like seeing photos of historical landmarks before going visit them. When you to the actual place you see that the dimensions and ambience are actually quite different from what you'd thought... That's how I feel, anyway.

Oh, of course. I'm just saying that Gordon himself might have wondered why he was being trained to fire an MP5 with a grenade launcher when he was ostensibly working as a research associate in experimental physics. He presumbaly didn't know about all the "Questionable Ethics" stuff before...

Well, it goes a long way towards explaning why Gordon received weapons training when he did. Cleary the folks at BM were already up to no good.

Wow. Nice find. I've never seen that message before.

Barney: Just like old times, eh, Gordon? Gordon: yeah...yippee Barney: Hey, remember when we thought Black Mesa was as bad as it could get? Gordon: Uh, didn't you go to Xen, dude? Citizen 1: Hoppers! Citizen 2: Hoppers! Citizen 3: Bouncebombs! Gordon: Bouncebombs? Metrocop...

I think what we're seeing here is that we can and do talk back when we're playing Half-Life Games. So, to substitute my own voice for Dr. Freeman's: Scientist: Don't let it overcharge! Barney: W-whadya mean overcharge? (Ka-boom) (Gordon happens upon their gibbed reamins and the...

Mossman tells Gordon to calm down while he's being scanned at BME. Further evidence?

Yeah, well, some thing just don't go together: teqilla and root beer, zombies and haiku, prolonged semantic debates and game fanship. Personally, I liked "Aftermath," and I'm against the episodic trilogy being considered Half-Life 3. When you think of how different 1 and 2 were, it just...

I blew it. "Boom! zombie death" is only 4 syllables.

Now, all we need is a third line...

(I like this one well enough to repeat it): Dr. Breen: Well if it isnt Gordon Freeman at last. Gordon: Barney says "F*ck you."

Heh heh. I'm so good at finding things, I often find them when they're not really there. Well, I'm starting to consider that possibility, anyway... I'll say this much, whether his appearance is an accident/meaningless coincidence or not, that is St. Francis of Assisi, and he's totally going...

Well, we both wore ponytails for a period of time in the 90s (shudder)

Naw. They would've used Saint Dionysius for that. He's waaay creepier than Saint Francis.

My ammo conservation is just fine, thank you. What did suck was when poor old Father Grigori got zombie-stomped because I was busy snapping pics of the statue and poking around in search of the missing head.

Well, they did seemingly put a texture based on the Hiroshima A-Bomb Dome in backgrounds of Ep. 1. That could be construed as questionable taste. I dunno... If you're at all familiar with Catholic iconography, it's pretty blatant. Depiciting a monk with a bird denotes St. Francis to about...

An Eastern Orthodox graveyard with Celtic crosses no less...
