Aight Fr lets just calm down and wait. I know this uhh "leaks" isnt new. We were getting more and more leaks, old beta builds etc and this still doesnt mean anything. IF there is a HL3 then you should be prepared that it can cancel.. or not? Hehehe. I don't want my dreams to be shattered again so im just waiting for straight offical news..

I don't know, I'm wavering between thinking of around 40, varying between capitals or large cities.

Discussion Why don't we meet Hunters in HL2, Lost Coast, Episode One?

• Upvotes

Hunters are deadly agile fast assasins from The Combine Alien Forces however Freeman encounters them only in Victory mine after he destroyed Citadel.

In City-17 you can make the arguement that they have hard times fitting into door frames even I imaginee them bonding their legs and get there. But they for sure would be good on Highway 17. Nova Prospect could use hunters against antlions maybe.

Narrow doors frames is really slim explanation cause White Forest showed what happens when not main characters meet hunters in kinda narrow Black Mesa like corridors.

Half life 3 prediction part 2: one of the plot points in HL3 is that's its revealed that the Advisors actually don't understand the error of their ways and genuinely believe they are saving/enlightening Humanity. We'll learn a lot about the true nature of The Combine Empire in this sequence.

I was playing Getting Over It until I noticed the explosive barrels from Half-Life 2. Is it a stock image widely used in media or not? I've only ever seen it in Half-Life 2...

Discussion If the combine invasion or xen infestation didn't happen after the black mesa incident. How would the government react to the fallout of everything?

4 Upvotes

There's got to be some questioning of what happened and why most of the staff were killed, and there would likely be survivors as well that would spill the beans that they were getting wiped out by the military.

If you take the gearbox expansions as cannon then there's also the fact that the facility gets nuked and that Barney and a couple of scientists makes it out so I can't see how a cover-up would work in the long-term.

When you can technically run Half-Life but bet on the wrong team for 3D hardware...

I've been working on a PowerVR emulator (it's mostly done but needs performance tuning) and testing Half-Life on it I was struck by this particular loading screen. I doubt it's been seen much in this millenium.

PowerVR was a competitor to the 3DFX Voodoo - you put it in your system and it added 3D acceleration. It was an interesting design but was really heavy on the processor and needed a beefy PC - which kind of hurt it since it was positioned as more of a value option compared to Voodoo. Videologic (the company behind PowerVR) released a MiniGL driver specifically for Half-Life, and this is the loading screen.

sorrgy miku......... accident

i didn't quite like how the original video used half-life source as it clearly just shows hl2 blood on miku and there are no gibs so i (tried) my best to recreate this video in the original half-life version with the good ol' goldsrc engine.

the reason why miku is clipped to the ground partially and why she clips underground fully after she falls is because i just renamed the miku player model to an npc. there are no actual animations as an npc model.

Discussion How did Barney disguise Gordons escape?

21 Upvotes

So, at the start of HL: 2 Barney saves Gordon from going to Nova Prospekt, takes him to an interrogation room, turns off the camera, and when an officer comes to see what's going on, he has Gordon fuck all the way off.

How do you think he managed to talk his way out of it?

Personally, I think he told the guy Gordon was an old friend, and he was doing him a favor and let him go. Probably bribed the guy with some means and told him he'd take the fall if something came of it (and then also fucked off to Kleiner lab, basically until the Uprising)
