Yeah that it one awesome game.

With all the hype that surrounded it, I was afraid of bring disappointed but I so not.

What I particularly like about this game, aside the fact that it looks and "feels" so good and real, is that they make it hard to be a tourist.  Most of the times you feel under pressure to escape from something.  The most immersive game I've played ever (aside Galaga of course :D ).

Everybody should own a copy :)

Heh, likwid. I had the same impulses you did. I'm still near the beginning of the game. I'm still navigating through to get to the other lab after completely getting screwed over in the teleport (what luck to end up RIGHT OUTSIDE of the building I was just in. Heh

This is the coolest thing I know about HL2, in the beta (people at my college were in it) there was a welding tool, and for a time it was good.  Man welded planks of wood to barrels and metal pipes with an engine, and it flew.  Like a plane, except, the game didn't mean that to happen.  They removed it because it was just too good to have it in there, people were making insane rocket launchers from swings and cars etc.  One of my friends is re-programming it with some hope and a makeshift programming team.

Yeah, I know I've been gone because of it.

I'm doing level design tutorials for www.hl2db.com now. So, that's where all my time has gone to.


-and as far as the ending goes... it was said before the game was ever released that the ending was going to be the end of half-life as we know it... so, you had to expect something like that. ;p  Even if not, i don't feel like it was too bad; I mean, it came to a point where you thought you'd won.. you're about to see this wonderful ending, then wam... wait... there's going to be another half-life!

How is that a BAD ending? More half-life goodness coming soon! yay!

Ok, so I'm a half-life fanatic who would rather see another game than a good ending, so what? :P  ;)

But anyway... yeah, check out that hl2db site i mentioned, it will be great. Bye for now!

Bloodlines is a little buggy, but nothing that ruins it in any way. Aesthetic stuff like spelling errors. Nice game, so far, though. Crimson, PM me, how far are ya?

Well I just beat the game 10mins ago. Pretty action packed. Probably one if not the best game ever made.

Don't believe everything you think.
