HOLY ****ING SHIT this site is alive?!
I was so sad when I went to the .net and it was gone. That was years ago. The end of an era I thought. Regret that I will never be able to find and rel8ve some of my favorite memories interacting with this community.
But then tonight I'm laying in my bed...
Probably half of hl2.netters will get stuck and forever be trying to crawl through a vent. We will succumb to starvation on our living room floors, gripped in the claustrophobic nightmare of non-existant ventilation shafts, knees blown out, yelling out to Gordon Freeman to come save us. Our...
The only photo of me in there was of my thumb lmao.
EDIT: Also, please tell me someone has the photo edit contest versions of this pic. I remember laughing so hard at them.
In 2004 I had turned 18. I definitely had not already become who I was going to be. I also matured with this forum, and my writing style was certainly affected by it. I still can't use shorthand so many of my texts to friends and family are written with reasonably proper grammar, punctuation and...
Its the same for me. Any time I read the word Ennui I have to remind myself that they're not mentioning a hl2.net member. I also did not know the meaning of the word (nor its pronunciation) until years later. I just thought it was a name he came up with, and in my head I always pronounced it...
The Orange box came out a year before I graduated from university. That feels so long ago. I've since put that education to use for two years, then left that industry because job security sucked. Was unemployed for awhile, then started learning and fixing electronics. Then went into IT for a...
It is also awesome to see the OG HL2.net crew coming back. Funny how so many thought to return to the site upon seeing the trailer.
If Cpt. Stern shows up I'll buy him an Index Headset. Show me you're still alive old man!
Hello old friends! I have to agree with how it feels surreal to see a new half life trailer.
I knew when valve was making their own VR set up that they'd use it to push gaming boundaries with a half life game. They used Half Life 2 to push physics engines and it changed gaming it a massive way...
I know :( You guys always play at times that had become impossible for me to join in. I just started 2nd shift now so maybe that can change. You still using that Discord channel?
I don't know what that is, and a quick search doesn't help.
I don't go on Facebook much, but when I do I really like that Facebook shows me most of your posts. Last time I logged in I saw this one.
But seriously, I'm proud of you Willie. You're weird as f*ck and its cool. Keep on keeping on and don't take shit from anybody.
