Good opinions. You really have to pay tribute to the script writers of HL2, I'm sure it must be a difficult job to provide continuous dialogue to Gordan. I trust Valve though, I'm sure they'll do a fantastic job. I think the best reason for his lack of speech is the aura of mystery about his...

Gordon & Speech In my opinion, one of the more intriguing aspects of Half Life is the stern silence of Gordon Freeman. As you all undoubtedly know, he maintained his lack of oral communication throughout the entirety of the original game and looks set to continue the trend in HL2...

Nice one....thanks for the heads up, my favourite movie on the way! :cheers:

Monkey wrench is indeed the correct term. mon'key wrench n. 1. a wrench having a movable jaw that can be adjusted for grasping nuts of different sizes. She must be helping out with construction work....that or...

I opened up a copy of PCFormat magazine and saw a shiny two page spread of the big strider image with the civilians running away - I was amazed! Very little info with the image so I Google'd it and found, amongst other places, Halflife2.net. :)

I really loved the trust system in The Thing, worked fantastically. However, I think you're right - it probably wouldnt suit the Half Life series, different characters and they're not going to freak out on you [as important NPCs are crucial to the story, so it wouldnt work too well with them...

I personally think that the first person viewpoint is much better. Half life was so atmospheric, really making you jump when the level designer threw a well placed monster your way. And, with the new dynamic music system and updated AI in HL2, a first person perspective will be really eerie when...

With you on that one all the way. Its my personal favourite.

Its gotta be the beginning...its revolutionary! The end was good and had some great plot points, but finished on a cliffhanger and didnt reveal too much. I think the start of the game has to be one of the best introductions to a ever, perfectly done and not in a cut scene, when you start in the...

I believe that the soldiers voices were heard over some sort of radio system, presumably the handheld sort of radios they carry that you can see on the Opposing Force loading screen. I'm pretty sure it was from the Grunts radios as the voices had varying volumes according to the distance of the...

Good point Ranger. I think its time to take a sigh of relief....I've been on the edge of my seat since reading the first terrifying post. I was, and still am, of the impression that Valve will keep to the 30th which was why these events shocked me so much - they had the same solid date confirmed...

Agree entirely. Pat on the back for Munro for keeping the place open, its without a doubt the only HL2 community to visit.

I think the Steam movies in general are a fantastic and innovative system, unique to the industry so far - a download client created directly by the manufacturer to obtain movies that aren't blurry, poor quality AVIs but actual, crystal in-game footage. It would be great to see more companies...

Well, this is a screenshot posted by one of the more reputable members of the Steam forums (346 posts) depicting an email back from gabe: http://198.53.251.199/pics/gabe.jpg Very slow site, outta my control ;). The screen could be spoofed with a bit of time spent, but looks real enough and...

LoneDeranger & Lobster, you could well be right, lets hope so. Online news sites often 'creatively edit' postings from other single sources so news spreads across the web from one slip. I think by tomorrow we'll have concrete answers from Gabe, we should all sit tight and hope for the best.

Its also good to hear the sound in a hi-fi format, as the Gamespy version was a little unclear around there, in addition to having the background laughter and general noise removed [although I did chuckle at the 486 remark the first time I heard it, such a stereotypical geekish statement ] ;)...

Excellent, well done to Burstfire for hosting aid. I wish Munro the best of luck in the search for a host in the future. I hate to say it, but have you considered inserting a banner ad? If you just put one on the main page of the site it wouldnt be too intrusive (always avoid popups) and would...

seems more in the direction of a resident evil zombie to me...safe to say thats not quite human though...

Go to Start > Run and type mspaint . Its also usually in the accessories section of the start menu somewhere. Its an old program now though, can't do much with it but save images and scribble a bit...

Nice find. I love photorealistic renderings, especially humans cos they're so damn hard to model convincingly. Keep 'em coming.
