If you look in pak0.pak, you'll see that the security guard files are labeled "barney" and that the "man in a suit" files are labaled "gman." That's where the names came from. "gman" is almost undoubtedly short for "government man." They use that style of abbreviation in the pak. "human grunt"...
I recently got a bigger hard drive (160gb up from 26gb), but I still don't like to waste space. I already have HL installed, and I don't want CS or anything. If I trash the 400mb files Steam downloaded will it just download them again? I really only use Steam for getting HL2 movies.
Well, yes I guess that's an egg. I doubt it's what Gabe was referring to though, since he probably didn't even know. Also, the "conditions could hardly be more ideal" thing was discredited. No one ever says that in HL 1.
Everyone should really use WASD unless they are left handed and just can't manage. After a week or so, it will feel more natural than the arrow keys ever did. With shift as walk or crouch, and space as jump, it's just perfect. You also have easy to reach keys all around it like:

Yes, you're right. What I meant to say was end-level bosses sort of thing. It's pretty much the big end game boss/bosses and that's it. If you didn't find Adrian, when would you see him? His own expansion pack again? That would be pretty cool!
Would you make a boss enemy, or what? Bosses aren't really Valve's style. If you made him just an ordinary grunt though, that wouldn't be appropriate either. I don't know how they would work that in.
Doh! Well, it't not as thought you were potentially going to date whoever said that anyway. Even if you were, would you change your mind because of one off-color, goofy joke?
I think Broderick is far and away the best choice for Barney. I suppose you're right that Norton looks like Gordon, but I just don't think he has the right personality. Obviously he is an actor and can play a character, but I don't think would pull it off well. Gordon should be calm, quiet, and...
