Coupled with the fear of death, the idea of time going faster and faster as you age is really scary. It's sort of like being in a truck speeding into a brick wall 200 yards away and keep going faster and faster.
"If I could start again a million miles away, I would keep myself, I would find...
Half Life had the hopeless, isolation, trapped kind of scary. I think Half Life 2's scary will be different. It will be more of an enemy invasion, terrorism like scary. Just take a look at this: http://www.planethalflife.com/screenshot.asp?src=/half-life2/screenshots/08.jpg . I mean...
Hrm, there are lots of cool things i noticed in the e3 video, here's a few of them:
I thought it was cool when Gordon hit the manhack with the crowbar and it flew into the shelf, causing the shelf to fall off.
When the strider impaled the guy, a very convincing shadow is on the wall of the...
K, ill fix teh link.
Also, look at the combine in that picture. Those are the EXACT same gloves. I mean, if barney is in a combine suit, what makes you think you aren't, either?
Of course, there's so much speculation surrounding the combine. That strange picture of Barney in a combine suit... Now I don't know if this is new, or previously mentioned, but go here http://www.planethalflife.com/screenshot.asp?src=/half-life2/screenshots/21.jpg. That's a picture of you, as...
Why is Valve hiding HL2 so much? Wow, what a stupid question.
Half Life 2 isn't real, of course. It's only a publicity ploy for Valve. Trust me, I get this from a very good source... my imaginary uncle who works for Valve.
FSAA is pretty cool, but seriously, Half Life 2 will half great graphics with or without FSAA. I'm more worried about how objects could possibly destroy as one... i.e. hit a box w/a crowbar once, it shatters into a million pieces.
Okay, so right now, probably the most debated part about Half Life 2 is the AA, or lack thereof. Even though Valve has stated that it's a problem with Direct X 9, and not their software, and even though Valve has stated that Microsoft WILL fix it, everyone is still going insane. Rumors are...
Heh, if it's "unique" and "really cool," then it's not cliche ;-)
It's just pretty easy for me to imagine Valve doing the whole, "Alex and Gordon are falling in love, something goes wrong and they break up, in the end they realise it was a mistake and fall in love again." Then again, I have...
Hey, a while ago, when watching the E3 vid, I noticed something really cool. When the giant manatee thing is chasing you (you just jumped out of the buggy), you hide behind a red car thats hanging halfway off of the edge. When the manatee shoots it, you can see the car and the axels of the car...
Whoa! I was just watching the part where gordon tossess the heater thing at the guy up the stairs... if you listen, you can hear him scream in the same voice one said "watch out" in.
Holy crap, yeah! If you listen for it, it is CLEAR that he says, "Watch out, AAHH! WATCH OUT!" There is NO doubt about it... everyone, you gotta watch this.
ATI is clearly better than NVidia. I ran my secret Half Life 2 Beta copy with both a Radeon 9800 and a (slightly outdated) Geforce MX 16MB. These were my results.
