HL2 in the real world: Scary combine pic - they're here!

[Poita]

I took this pic last spring here in Seoul, South Korea (I'm a Brit living here).
Does it remind you of anything?

Maybe not identical but with the small square building to its right, powerlines over head and rising tower unter construction behindit it just needs a storm trooper in the pic and i'd be rumaging in my tool box for a crowbar.

Bah, nice place to live, then the new neighbours move in and start taking over the planet and turning people into monsters.

 

[AlaskanStewie]

Wow. I better be off on my mission to kill Dr.Breen now.

I went past a miniature Citadel growing in the middle of a Melbourne suburb the other day. It was disguised as a "Modern Art" sculpture.

I wish I'd had my digital camera at the time...

 

[Bing_Oh]

Next thing you know, they'll be shelling South Korea with headcrab bombs.

 

[wilka91]

LOL that is hilarious

 

[Mevoki]

We have the citadel here in Malmö, just look at this:
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload8/Turning-torso-44.jpg

It's about 168 meters high(about 560 foot) which compared to everything else in the area is extremly high. The nature around malmö is prett similiar to city 17 too.
Here is the bridge from highway 17:

Dude i'm not sure those pics bring scenes from HL2 to mind

 

[koopa]

This isn't quite on topic, but it's sorta related. Near me there's small wood with a big tree and a fraid rope hanging down from it. And it's just at the right height... every time I go past it I think 'arrgh, Barnacle!'. Anybody else got any real-world-bits-that-remind-them-of-HL2 stories?

Heh-
PRetty freaky though, does look alot like it. Now we just need some people falling over from headcrab attacks, a strider in the background shooting and a combine standing there infront of it for the whole feel.

P.S. I had to do it, im sorry

omg is that building flipping me off?

 

[Poita]

it may be flipping you off.
I always thought the new design for the world trade center should be a 110 story sky scraper in the shape of a fist with the middle finger raised and aimed at the middle east.
Actually that building is a church. Pretty grim eh.

 

[CookieCuttah]

*Shakes head* What is church teaching us these days!

 

[Eon Blue]

They should have left the OICW in the game.

 

[CookieCuttah]

Wait how hell does this relate to buildings flicking people off?

 

[Poita]

even that is a departure from the 'scene' wot looks real in the game.
Anyway i 'ahem' played some of the levels last year with the oicw with beta tha i aquired (dont worry i paid for Hl2 when it came out.) and it was pretty lame.

 

[BetaMaster]

It wasn't a beta.
