We went into the steam room, With the guys that made steam. marc asked us if we had any complaints we should tell them now. I said no. and there like are you SURE and I said yeah.. I don't have any problems with steam..
Then we went into this place where the guy there is doing the facial animation, It was so cool how they did it. the lip sink and the facial animation was awesome. I don't have any pictures of that cuz i was too busy looking at it.
On the tour I asked the people about fortress 2 They would not tell me anything about it.
We were walking in the hall way and the tour guide said "this is gabes knife collection he likes knives.

Then we went into the Concept and 3d modeling office, The guy there showed us all the aliens in half life 2 I didn't take any pictures because I didn't think they would let me. He showed us all these aliens that didn't make it into half life some of them were pretty weird looking lol then he showed me the strider and stuff and i asked him I herd you can pilot the strider. and the guy said .... He didn't say anything. lol. he dosent want to spoil anything. He allso told us that the first head crab was purple and it had butt cheeks.LOL. and the Face hugger from alien was there insperation for the head crab.
We left the room And Marc asked us if we were hungry we could grab some food. Me and my friend grabbed a pop. here is his all the food that was there.

I asked him about the script leak he said yeah it was leaked but it wont make sense if you read it. So they arnt worrying too much about it
He told me that allot of deff people have been sending them letters because they want to play half life but they cant understand it. so there will probly be a sub tittle option in half life 2.
Some people told me to take pictures of white bored. So here they ARE!

Then we went in for the play test and gabe stopped by we shook hands and introduced ourselves's and talked to us for a bit. He asked me if i was into moding. I said no, Is it easy? and he said they are trying to make it easy and he told me there is so many things that you can do with the scource engine. I asked him when half life 2 will be released. and he said VERY SOON! We talked for a little bit more and I asked him for a picture with him.

He told me to tell him What he thought about the game when we were done.
So we started playing from the begin of the game the intro to the game is bad ass you probly already have seen it just the G man saying its been allong time mr freeman and all this other stuff. I got out of the train.. the combine are jerks. I stand there and if i don't get out of the way they push me. so I picked up a box and threw it at them.. then they chased me and beat me with there stick thing that shocks me, I walked around and this combine knocked some pop can off a table and he was like PICK IT UP so I did..... AND THREW IT AT HIS FACE!!!! and then he chanced me forever beating me =( The game is soo fun! You guys will love it. even just walking around throwing things and looking at things! we played for about half an hour. I dotn wanna tell you anything about it here, because i don't want to spoil anything..I cant wait for this game! Then the marc told us that thats all we can play because he didn't want to spoil anything when we got to play it at home.
