Half-Life 1, for sure. It's just so terrifyingly atmospheric, and the grunginess of the graphics, dated as they are now, only helps that. Also, it's just you - there's no Alyx or Barney or adoring rebels waiting for you at your destination to lend you a hand. Although to be honest, I found...

Why, because he's the token sarcastic buddy as opposed to the token love interest?

Have now watched it five times, and I'm still not seeing it. ....Ohhhh, there we go. It took a few more repeats for me.

This. Out of context, headcrabs are adorable. ...the standard ones, anyway. Fast and Poison headcrabs can go die in a fire.

If it's the same book on Eli's shelf that I'm thinking of, the title is "Lost Socks", a nod to the IRL book "The Meaning of Lost and Mismatched Socks" by Harry S. Robins, AKA the voice of Dr. Kleiner. Although while we're on the subject of things in Black Mesa East that people may or may not...

Funnily enough, that happened to me for the first time just the other day. I tried to push it over the cliff with the gravity gun, but the guard rail got in the way.

I'm reminded of that one segment of Mr. Plinkett's review of The Phantom Menace, where he asks people to describe characters from Star Wars without saying what they look like or what their role in the story was -- the better descriptions they could come up with, the stronger the character was. I...

This. Plus, love her or hate her, you have to admit that Alyx is a pretty damn memorable character - that was the point of the list, right?

That'd be why Gordon wasn't on it; technically he hails from the 90's. Not to mention that he's barely even a character. He's more of a badass mech suit that the player puts on and then does impossibly cool things with.

IMO, the color scheme is all wrong for a new Half-Life game -- the few morsels of concept art we've seen from Episode Three so far have been in bluish-green-gray tones, and that image has way too much orange in it. Not to mention that I'm sure they'd at least have the name of the ship partially...

He's a werewolf, so maybe I should tell him I'm a vampire? :3 I'll keep the slapping in my arsenal for if this goes south.

Thanks y'all. The thing that drives me nuts about this whole stupid situation is that it's not like this is all new to me or anything - this is like, my third guy who seemed nice but was later revealed to have some horrible, game-breaking secret, and I was able to let the other two go pretty...

Totally agree. The weird part is the trying to find an opportunity in casual conversation, because this really isn't the sort of thing that should have to be made into a big production.

He's in one of my classes, and I was trying to be social for once by actually talking to my classmates. He's quite attractive, and he seemed nice enough at first; the fursona thing didn't come out for another couple of weeks. Actually, it's not so much the fursona as the fact that he actually...

Really? In my experience, it's always okay up to the lesbian bondage part, but when the robots get involved it somehow becomes wrong.... Anyway, I guess next time he randomly injects a 'you're so awesome!' or 'I love you!' into a conversation, I'll just stop him and ask him exactly what he...

The thing is, there's nothing to really *end*. It's not like I've actually been in a relationship with him - as it stands now, we see each other in class, he tries to get my attention about random shit, and I try to not lead him on while not being rude by outright ignoring him or anything. If he...

So say there's this girl you see about twice a week, whom you have sort of a thing for. You've gone out (that is to say, gone somewhere alone together) twice in the past, although she insisted on splitting the cost of food and/or gas both times. Although lately she's been trying to make herself...

Well, as a girl who's not even 20 yet, who has parents to whom she is very close and who do good-naturedly tease her about that sort of thing all the time, I gotta say that I never get all embarrassed right off the bat. Maybe when I was like 12 and both boys and my recently-awakened childbearing...

Wacom Bamboo Fun 3.75 x 6 tablet mouse: 9.9999/10 Absolutely the most comfortable mouse I have ever used. It fits perfectly in the palm of my hand, and it runs on my tablet so the tracking is always great, plus I can customize all sorts of settings for it. Only nitpick is that the scrollwheel...

Trying to figure out where City 17 is is like trying to figure out where Springfield is. It's wherever it needs to be for the story to happen.
