My neck hurts.. danced too hard :-/ hows ur shouilder m8?

 

[Mitoboy]

Best bet that the bubbles are future spawn. I can't imagin hot Headcrab love.

 

[FictiousWill]

sheesh. That's a tad graphic, not exactly Half-Life's tongue-in-cheek B-movie style. If I want to play a horror game, I'll play D3.

You sure that wasn't just a chicken?

 

[hilly]

mmmm chicken.....

Headcrabs usually have to attach to the host's brain though. Otherwise how would they take control of their nervous system? (he's not attaching to the spinal cord either. The ideal location for attack is the brain stem, which is most available at the back of the neck)

That's really gross. I wish I had a crowbar.

[Mechagodzilla]

yeah, i was about to say they look alot like eyes to me. thats what i thought they were when i first saw them.

 

[PSX]

it looks like a symptom of the headcrab takeover, but I think it's in the concept art just to make it more eerie and show you the real power of the headcrab and the influence they have on the humans

 

[BlumenKohl]

Fun Fact:

If Half-Life was made by Running With Scissors, headcrabs would be jumping on your groin area instead of your head.

 

[Flyingdebris]

i think this is one of the fresher victims of headcrabitis. notice the hands are not clawy yet and the mouth hasn't opened up.

any way my guess is that headcrabs don't necessarily need to get to your brain stem, chewing through your neck to get to your brainstem would work just as well

 

[Spiffae]

guys guys, wait a second that's a SHOULDERCRAB!!! RUN!!!!

lol, now can you imagine what they would make Alyx do? I don't even think they'd bother to model any clothes... probably add some female Combine too

maybe that pic shows that the headcrabs infestation works like the flood in halo... they us their tenticals to stab the spinal chord to gain control... thats why the marines colapse after being attacked by them...

 

[Ares]

The guy looks like the victims in The Ring (life sucked out of them type of look) and the "bubbles" look like serious spider wounds that you get from the Brown Recluse - it eventually and potentially causes gangreene(sp?).. you know, that flesh eating bacterium?
Yeah, the wound will turn black sometimes.. and bubbly - it's pretty gross. Damnit I hate spiders.
Probably inspiration.

 

[Ralphus]

Stop masturbating.

 

[rootbin]

1) hl2
2) he's a zombie
3) well... he's a zombie.

 

[3rd Impact]

That was not what I needed to see while eating...

 

[LittleB]

Whenever my pet headcrabs 'make love' I smack 'em with the newspaper!

Anyway I agree with Ares, it looks like some kindof huge chest cavity reaction to venom. Anybody got a needle?
