Yeah, well, this is a discussion board. If you ask a question, especially something that people feel strongly about, it's gonna be discussed. Deal with it. Most threads are like this. Besides, you did get an answer or two.

Actually, that's completely wrong. Say you accelerate up to 99.99% of light speed. According to our natural instincts regarding physics, that photon over there should be at about a dead stop, right? WRONG. Light always moves at light speed, no matter what. This is a basic principle of...

Because you are wrong. If you end up at the wrong end of town he'll let you know. What the thread starter needs to do, I think, is put out the fire that all the dead guys are in. Then he'll be able to get inside and turn off the electric fence. I think that's where he is, please correct me...

Hmm, good point. But my point still stands, mostly. The only reason he would lose the ability is if he has a falling out with his boss. Which would be very interesting. Or if they limit him somehow. I'd think, though, that as long as he's doing what they want him to, he can use it as...

moggy's just going all Yoda on ya, I think. I agree with him though. And fighting with/against the G-man would be way cool. Though that whole timestopping/slow-teleport/whatever ability would kind of make any fight rather one sided.

You have "Vortessents" written a few times; what they actually said was "vortessence", which seems to be a vortigaunt analogue of essence. I'm not really sure what it means in context. I've found that subtitles are very accurate in this game. It'd be pretty worthless if they weren't.

I thought that about 10 years pass between HL1 and 2. Which would mean that Alyx had to be at least 10-15 at the time of the invasion, cuz she looks about 20-25 right now.

Isn't G-Man a term that the fans came up with for him (not saying they invented the term, just that they applied it)? This pretty much automatically destroys any possibility that they're the same person. Not to mention that they look nothing alike. And who really imagines Gordon's voice to...

If you just climbed over that fence, turn around (or to the right - it's on the building there) and go up the ladder. If you haven't climbed the fence yet, climb the fence.

Or a circular saw

I find that unlikely. Valve said over the entire course of the development of HL2 when it was known to the public that Gordon wasn't going to talk and you'd never see him. I'm not going to believe jason until someone else backs him up. Edi: okay, that sentence up there doesn't make much...

Go straight to the right (ie. walk forward in that first pic in your last post) till you hit the wall. Then turn left and walk forward. There should be a door right in front of you. Took me a bit to find it too.

You can do the same thing with the floaty camera things. What're they called, sentinals? Whatever. They explode very nicely too. Not as big as a barrel, but still a good explosion. SpaceRain, I usually found that they needed to smash into a wall pretty good or else they came back and cut...

I did something similar in the airboat level - there's one part where you have to shoot some barrels to get under the dock then over a jump. I skipped the barrels, (there's some rubble I hit that you can use as a jump. I found it when frantically trying to avoid the rocket launchers) then got...

...that was posted at 4:30 AM this morning. By my clock that's a good six hours. How dare you post such ancient news! [/sarcasm]

I was talking about the regular retail that most(?) people will be buying. Guess I shoulda been more, ah, thorough.

Retail doesn't come with HL:S. Sorry.

The fifth one on the list looks interesting. Maybe that chapter will explain some things about Half-Life 1.

So what you're saying is that every store everywhere is hooked into one big HL2 network that can automatically activate everyone's game? I find that unlikely. Gimme proof.

Make it Red Shift. That way, we can play as Neo-Communist Russians who have teamed up with the Combine and are helping opress the resistance. And Red Shift does fit the science terminology.
