I get the feeling ninjawitch was just waiting to pour out that tirade the instant she saw anything that might be construed as an insult.
Although I agree, there seems to be a much higher ratio of assholes to normal people on the internet than in everyday life.
This is a recurring poster found throughout the game. I don't know what it is, but the thought occurred to me that if *might* be some sort of artist's rendition of the fully modded transhuman. Considering that the Combine super soldiers' one "eye" is in a place where a human couldn't see through...
Sorry if this is old, but when I was just replaying HL2 I noticed what happened to Lamarr and why he is missing later on. When the teleporter in Kleiner's lab is malfunctioning in "Red Letter Day" Lamarr leaps at you just as the malfunction occurs. Then, you and Lamarr are both teleported to a...
