Well, seeing how their portals are, I can imagine their homeworld with a lot of pink, and my eyes are bleeding already.

Well they come from somewhere else, and we already knew that. Nothing originally comes from Xen anyway.

Why are you crying, Shock Trooper?...

Nothing is trivial for me, thanks. :)

Hey, Barnz from Decay! Damn for Stanley. Now that you say it, yeah, it's not given anywhere... Thanks for pointing that out. Brian Martel could be contacted. As the Gearbox guys don't work anymore on the HL series, I guess it would be easier to get answers from them, as I surprisingly did.

Hi there, I thought I'd dig out this old (and classic) thread to provide additional information. I got this from Stephen Bahl through Facebook on November 13, 2009. Bahl is from Gearbox and created the Race X and the new HECU classes for Op4. He was kind enough to answer some questions I wanted...

I didn't know that! It sounds fun, I'll have a look.

Coop? In which game? Which map? I don't get it...

There's something I never noticed before, while playing HL2 for the 3rd time, some days ago. When you just got out of the mines after Ravenholm and are back in the City 17 outskirts, you have the great Particle Ghost track playing, you get attacked by a poison headcrab and then by a fast zombie...

Hell they can be very annoying sometimes. I always tell him, Alyx and the rebels : "You're in the way! Why are you always in the way???" "Let me get out of your way!" "Yeah! Move, mother*****!!!"

About the soldiers throwing back the grenades, of course they do. Funny to send him back with the gravgun just after the Combine Advisor. And don't they already in HL2 or HL2E1?... So, my funny/weird experiences... The last time I played HL2, I was glad to finally take down the chopper, and it...

Ok, the Kleiner model, not the real guy called Isaac who was Gordon's mentor at MIT and who is seen in HL2. Laidlaw decided in 2004 who was exactly Kleiner, just as he did for Eli. That's why for the Black Mesa mod all the scientist will be changed and the Kleiner and Eli model will be since...

Hey don't get mad at me! I like consistent universes, that's all. It makes them more real and more enjoyable.

I just want him to state if the Gearbox expansions are canon or not (and I hope they are - or at least BS), and give us the actual date of the HL1 events (not "200-"), and I'll be contented.

Ok, ok, don't get mad! :D Of course they were just models back then, but Laidlaw decided who exactly were Eli and Kleiner between all the black and glasses scientists, so if he says that Blue Shift is not canon, he hasn't decided who was the HL2 Barney among all these gards. And it would make...

Well, it's a big inconsistency. There can be only one Magnusson and one Barney. The game limitations back in 1998 must be retconned. The Black Mesa (Source) devs will make sure of this, fortunately.

I asked who Barney was, but it seems that the Barney from HL2 is not the Barney from BS, so I wanted it to be clarified. And Mr Laidlaw answers quite fast to the e-mails! I didn't have his address so I sent a mail to Gabe Newell, and Laidlaw answered this about the timeline that can be found...

Druckles, what do you mean "withdrawn"?... (and I know Barney Calhoun is a security guard) test, it's a quote from Laidlaw? Where did you find it?...

Well for example he should definitely state if the 3 HL1 expansions are canon or not and who's Barney Calhoun after all. If we meet him in HL1 or if the guy in BS is the same person. And say who delivered the test sample after all. If Breen chose it, and Gina Cross brought it to the test...

Well of course he doesn't have to give away everything. He could just fix the inconsistencies and state what's canon or not. He can state a lot of things without betraying himself. And if he doesn't know some stuff, he's the writer, and he should decide and establish the blurry stuff once and...
