When scientists are rude to you.

[Xendance]

During the beginning of Half Life, I always attempt to talk to a scientists but I get a rude reply saying, "Please, leave me alone until after the experiment."

But when the experiment goes wrong, they want help off you, but should you really give it to them since they were always rude to you? :|

I always feel like killing them.

 

[Iron_cube]

Thats how business works, boy.

Youll see once you get a job.

 

[Apocalypse89]

Their attitude seems rather expected for a bunch of scientists working on an important and demanding experiment in a military research base. They're not exactly lounging at a country club.

The scientists in Blue Shift were much worse.

 

[Smoke]

I killed the ****ers anyway, right after they scanned their eyeballs or performed some scripted sequence of events allowing me access to the next chapter or more guns.

 

[Narvi]

I'd be annoyed if some random dude came up and kept bothering me at work.

Amen.

The Blue Shift guys were hilarious.

Shouldn't you be guarding some donuts and coffee right about now?

And the Opposing Force scientists were almost nice. "Cant we just get along?"

The only scientist I kill when I play is the one in the control booth at the end of We've Got Hostiles. The entire chapter is about getting to that control booth so you can open the blast doors, snd when you get into it there's already someone in there who could have let you in the whole time, but ignores you no matter how many times you bang on the door, ie, pressing E at the door. He gets a double shotgun blast to the face every time.

Every time I play through the game I talk to every scientist on my way in. I like to pretend I'm the dickhead no one likes who thinks he is universally adored, then learns to be considerate through a series of ordeals, thus leading him on a quest for true love.

 

[Asknoone]

I never kill the scientists. I know if I was at work, and some geeky dude in glasses came bunny-hopping up to me and started bothering me I'd tell him to **** off.

 

[Barnz]

Keller is the most annoying scientist, right after Magnusson. TBH Half-Life is boring without scientists (and flashlight).

 

[nokori3byo]

Naw, I never killed any friendlies.

Except for that time I did...

 

[Kevin]

You know, theres a reason for them to be like this.
It's actually THE EXPERIMENT, that will screw up later on.
They're all nervous.
And some of them are friendly.

 

[Adabiviak]

This was the very first description of Half Life when I asked a friend about it. "These scientist guys you run into are dicks until something bad happens, then they're your friend." I chalked it up to an attempt at subtle humor/irony by the developers.

 

[QuantumFireball]

The Blue Shift guys were hilarious.

And then Barney responds: "Yes"

And the Opposing Force scientists were almost nice. "Cant we just get along?"

They were almost nice because they didn't want to get a royal beatdown by a soldier. The grunts were always pushing the scis around, no wonder he was 'nice'.

LOL! Bravo

 

[AzzMan]

Man I remember one part of HL had like 6-7 scientists clumped up in one room, me and my friends would have contests who could kill them all the fastest (no explosives):cheers:

 

[Mr Wendal]

Back in the day, there was an entire online club dedicated to this.
Called the scientist killing club.

Link doesnt really work anymore, but here's some info:
