    What's your control setup?

    As a former Quake2/ActionQuake2 player, I'll tell you. If you have C bound to crouch, you move your index finger down to C, and keep the middle finger on W. If you need to strafe right, then you move your middle finger to D, and move your ring finger to W. It takes some getting used to...

    Your little "helper"

    Eh, that's just a garnish... the only true ingredients are at the beginning. :)

    So, the death of a main character (EXTREME spoilers)

    Gordon - I think he meant NPC. Barney - Although canonically you do see the "real" Barney briefly in HL1, most of the security guards are not him.

    What's your control setup?

    Default, if for no other reason that I can jump on someone else's computer and still kick ass without spending 15 minutes fiddling with the controls. WASD still seems to be the most intuitive for me anyway; most of the keyboard is within reach of the left hand, unlike people who use arrow...

    Question about the advisors

    Or maybe cause the rebel was already dead. ;)

    how did they know freeman was coming?

    Gordon's an amazing guy, he wants his grandkids to have good genes. ;)

    Is this real?

    Don't you know? Laidlaw has a fake account on Wikipedia that he uses to post stuff like this, to see how the fans react. Obviously, this one won't make it in to the final game.

    So, the death of a main character (EXTREME spoilers)

    I suspect that battles with Advisers in Ep3 will be rather like the battles with Gunships and Striders in HL2. You start out facing up against one at a time and it's like "OMG I DID IT!!", and by 2/3 the way through the episode, you're facing off against 2 or 3 at a time, no sweat. ;) I think...

    Could apeturescience.com be in the game? *as always, slight spoilers*

    Until the more recent GTAs when the main character started talking... :(

    3rd person Broken?

    Now, I'm a little biased against anime, just to warn you, but here goes: In any anime I've seen, they make it OVER-explicit what every single character is feeling, through exaggerated facial expressions; there's no subtlety. Similarly, many Japanese games I've played bash you over the head...

    360 and PC Orange Box comparisons.

    I'm 95% positive that this stuff will be added to the PC HL2 and Ep1 in the near future.

    Combine Poster

    My only guess is that the Combine is trying to show that they bring peace and order to the world. Any other ideas?

    Combine Poster

    Honestly, I have no idea. I didn't put this image in jpg form, and I don't know who originally did. I'd love to know how to grab more of the textures from the game.

    Easter Egg! - Barney Speaks

    "The Force will be with you. Always."

    Combine Poster

    A barrel roll? ;) Anyway, the dove is there in the game, check out the beginning of the last chapter of HL2. Maybe it's there to symbolize the peace that the nice, civilized Combine are attempting to bring to the savage humans?

    Combine Poster

    A while ago someone posted a high-res image of the Combine poster, and a bunch of people (including myself) had issues downloading it at first. I've made a torrent of it; check it out! http://www.mininova.org/tor/948203 http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3848369 Here's a low-res version of what it...

    Controller or Keyboard and Mouse?

    I imagine playing Engie, Medic, Spy or Heavy wouldn't be bad with a controller, but I wouldn't want to play any of the other classes, and I'd still prefer mouse/keyboard. Outside FPSs, I prefer controllers for racing games, and Mario/Metroid style 2D games (haven't played any 3D Metroid game...

    Portal happened right around when HL2 begins [SPOILERS]

    Not possible. It's well-proven that projector bulbs have a lifespan approximating that of a gnat. In all seriousness, maybe they use LED-based projectors instead of incandescent bulbs? I mean, they might cost a bunch in theory (not sure if any exist, but here's a link for a really...
