My experience back in HL2 was that after a while, I found myself completely ignoring my team of rebels. They may as well have not even been there. I felt like I could handle the danger myself, and it didn't matter if the rebels died on me. My interaction with the rebels was limited to checking...

The guys at Valve are probably sitting back laughing at this site, watching you all bark up the wrong tree.

At the time I knew that a pod for the Advisor existed, and in my imagination, it had weapons attached and could fly. At least I got the flying part right.

For whatever it is worth, after looking through the GCF before Ep 1 was released, I had envisioned a fight with an advisor taking place on top of the escaping train.

It was the Combine alright. Accept it.

If holes can be filled in with material that turns out to be the truth, were there ever any holes to begin with?

I can easily make some proposals to fill in those "holes." I can't fill them with anything concrete, because as I argued, not enough evidence exists. But let's see what I can do.... Hole number one..... Local teleportation. Have you ever considered that maybe the Combine did have local...

There is not enough evidence to prove either theory correct on incorrect. The problem I am having is with you people arguing that your theory is the solid, etched in stone truth, which it isn't.

If Valve "confirmed" that Xen wasn't part of the Combine Empire, then why did Laidlaw tell me that they couldn't reveal that information when I asked him last month the simple question of "were the Combine in control of Xen at the time of HL1"? What you have done is twisted a statement from...

What happens to me every time I load a new Half-Life game, is that I get the same freeze the first time the game tries to load something, and it is because my firewall is prompting me to give permissions to the program, but I can't see the firewall dialog because it is "behind" the game. What I...

Sure, the Combine only use one kind of metal. There are other metals used by the Combine. Look at the vort collars in HL2, they are a greenish-gray color, and I'm sure you can find other examples of different metals if you look carefully. Never said the Grunts were modified. If we want to...

I was kind of disappointed about the end of Ep1, because when I was snooping around in the GCF before the game was released, it looked like I was going to be on the escaping train, fighting a final boss battle against Breen, who is flying after you, continually uttering speeches telepathically.

Video games are better than movies in my opinion. I like having that interaction there. Half-Life should remain a game.

Let me explain some of the finer details of the second theory which I subscribe to. The Nihilanth is sort of a queen of the Vortigaunts, who is able to control them telepathically. The Vorts are hive minded (I refer to the official game guide), and they are coterminous, meaning they have a...

He's talking about the sockets that you fire energy balls into to power things up.

Xen was a Combine outpost, used as a staging area for the attack on Earth. There are probably many places like Xen under Combine control. It's those kind of places where people get sent for "off-world duty."

I think it is very fitting that Breen is an Advisor now. He dreamed that the human race would become part of the Combine, and now he is one of them.

I believe that Breen's speeches will be back in Episode 2. They will just be delivered telepathically this time, and if so, there is no reason why his projected voice can't sound just like it did when he was human. We just won't have as good a face to put the voice to, now that he's a big slug.

Yeah, the game was much easier my second time through now that I knew what I was up against and already discovered the tricks to each area.

What's wrong with you? I just want to have a beer with Barney. That's all.
