I'll admit I died 3 or 4 times there with the difficulty on Medium. It's a tough spot.

Not with Alex, but rather with Barney. After he gave you the crowbar, I tried to use key on him so he would promise me another beer or something, but he was silent. I was disappointed with that.

Seems I wasn't alone in not seeing Exit 17. I thought maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention after one of the levels loaded. Looks like Valve has something to fix.

Breen had pretty much failed completely before the Advisors suggested a host body for him. They still had enough interest in him at that point to keep him alive.

The mini-strider name and even their strider-esque attack are all probably just placeholders. They didn't want to call it a houndeye just yet, so they went with mini-strider simply because they have 3 legs. If they needed to specify an attack, why not go with the Strider cannon? Visually, they...

That's most likely it.

Yeah, I can believe that! Those must have been some serious hate vibes he was sending you when he sensed you in the room with him.

"Xen Architecture" is not Combine architecture. It is just the way nature worked on Xen. No need to port that over.

Breen's human body was probably engulfed in the explosion, and the Advisors had no choice but to psychicallly pull his soul out of his body and put it into a slug in the split second before his death.

Maybe they changed the way the crossbow reflects light in Ep1. I see no physical changes to it though.

The large size doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't houndeyes. The mechanical legs that the Combine gave them are just a lot larger than their original legs. The Houndeye has figured out how to run with bigger legs. I think that if these things are really Houndeye Synth, a good name for...

There is a simple explanation. I know you aren't going to like it, but the fact of the matter is that at the time HL1 was made, Valve had not yet come up with the idea of Citadels or Synths. Those were new ideas, which were born possibly a year or more after HL1 was completed. When HL1 was...

I completely agree with what this man says.

Isn't that the video where the Gman is shown reflecting a blue glow (but you can't see what it is coming from), and added with the fact that a "Blue Vortigaunt" was found in the GCF, seems to be why people are deducing that Vorts come to the rescue?

I'd like to know just "where" that black space is, and how Vortigaunts learned to teleport themselves into it.

You know what I think would be clever? If after the G-Man loses control of Gordon, he falls back on his backup man, Shephard. That would be so crazy.

I think that how the transition from HL2 to Ep1 plays out is probably the number one thing I want answered right now.

What do you mean by that?

It would be quite interesting if the portal is indeed stuck open. Creepy to imagine that that swirl could be a gaping hole into the Combine homeworld. I'd have to play the last scene again to be sure, but I think you could see the portal close right before the explosion. Can anyone verify this?

It wasn't an addition to the preload. It was an update to the Source Engine, meaning all of the Source games received a small update, including Episode One.
