Didn't see this posted yet. Fairly boring QandA on 1up.

"We do know this, though: Episode Two introduces one new weapon (the so-called Strider Buster), a single new foe (the tiny tripod Hunter pictured here), and one set of wheels (a self-propelled battering ram)."

I don't know , but for me the phrasing sounds as there are not going to be more than the mentioned weapon and enemy. I hope it justs me.

"The strider buster is a cool new way of taking out striders that's more spectacular than the standard seven rocket method, but is a bit tricky to pull off successfully. The vehicle was built by a couple of citizen survivalists whose fondness for muscle cars collided with a passion for zombie slaying. We find the cowcatcher on the front works wonders on Hunters that happen to get in the way."

Cowcatcher? that sounds cool.

"How warm is Schroedinger's cat? "

Warm according to google and wikipedia...
So about a 60% chanceof Breen being an Advisor...sounds likley...

Nice little interview.

 

[Asuka]

Yup. Just need to get my hands on the game so i can spaz now.

 

[DevgruSeal]

I couldn't find anything on how warm Schrodinger's cat was...

 

[Parrot of doom]

Read the question again.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Two men with a penchant for Zombie killing...ala Father Grigori?

Anyway, good interview.

What is the difference between Q&A and FAQ?

 

[MultiVaC]

And perhaps appropriately so, since Half-Life 2's episodic packets play relatively stingy with anything in the way of real plot developments (better to veil what little is there until later than blow the lid now).

Hmm... how did they miss: the Gman losing control over Gordon, Breen possibly taking a host body, the Combine's message, Mossman in the arctic, the evacuation of City 17, the destruction of the Citadel? What more would you expect from a 4 hour game?

What is the difference between Q&A and FAQ?

A FAQ is Freqeantly asked questions, not the same as a Q and A which is essentially an interview.

[Atomic_Piggy]

Yes, but those are questions people have asked frequently :O
A Q and A is when the person their interviewing is there, and they're asking as they go along.

 

[bbson john]

oops

I mixed them up. I thought this is FAQ and that is A&Q

 

[jimmyjam]

schroedinger's cat is both dead and not dead (warm and not warm)
it was a joke, and apparently one which went over the heads of 1up's editors and the posters here

 

[Deleted member 56031]

damn the ambiguity in that case Breen is alive but in some other form IMO.

 

[NeptuneUK]

How warm is Schroedinger's cat?

that suggests the answer to the question is both yes and no in reference to different aspects

EDIT: Woops wrong thread
