Hi, first post here, but I'm equally freaked about HL2, I have all the short vids, and have never seen any game make such a monumental leap forwards. I'm trying to arrange for myself to be put into a coma until September the 30th, I really can't wait.
But anyway, to the post topic. I've been thinking about the facial animations, and I'd love to see a 'living screensaver' with Alyx, the G-Man or anyone, kind of like the demo at E3 of the G-Man's face. He'd be on the sceensaver constantly, and would react to any sound in the room, via your computer's microphone, either with pre-loaded speech, or speech that you recorded earlier. I know that you can load WAV's into the program and have the character lip-sync it, so how great would it be to come into your computer's room and have the G-man say something sarcastic or threatening. It would be good for freaking people out, especially if the WAV's were from your voice.
I know that it must be possible, even my little mp3 player records WAV's (and I'm sure my PC would too if I asked it nicely), but being a British Soldier, it isn't really my field.
And finally, before September comes, I need to buy a new computer, just for games, can anyone suggest a company that makes kick-arse gaming machines that I won't have to sell my children to medical science to afford-£2000 max.
