Since HL2 will be/is 20 yrs. old and we're all getting nostalgia! Let's talk about those days!

IIRC during the first week of its release, I bought its retail from a local Best Buy with a $10/10% sale or something back then. According to my detailed https://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/toys.html history, I recently upgraded my Windows gaming PC with these parts: "... ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card, an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2GHz 512KB Socket 754 single core CPU, ASUS K8V SE Deluxe (VIA K8T800 Socket 754 ATX; VIA VT8237 South Bridge; Revision 2; onboard sound disabled; onboard NIC not used/connected (using 3COM NIC for network) and can't be disabled or else Promise Raid won't be activate), a 3 fan HDD Peeze cooler, 1 GB of PC3200 Kingston RAM (CAS 3), and Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS." I think I also got Windows XP OS too.

Anyways, I remember playing this game over my long Thanksgiving weekend. It was amazing! Very smooth, pretty, and fun! I don't remember how long it took me to finish it. It was a great sequel. Of course years later, episodes 1 and 2 (The Orange Box -- will talk about that in three years). I don't have and want a VR to play Alyx.

What about the rest of you? Also, remember PlanetHalfLife.com web site? RIP, & GameSpy's web sites.

The economy is doing excellent thanks to Bidenomics. He inherited a failing economy with a negative gdp and record unemployment and record numbers of businesses failing thanks to Trumpenomics. Even inflation is the best in the free world and has been for a long time, and it was your one bad metric to pint to….now you’ve got nothing. 😂

The economy reportedly added 12000 jobs in Oct, a disappointment but hardly the loss you claim….liar. It is the worst month under Biden so far, but heaven compared to the Trump negative numbers.

Some other unknown metric is also now temporarily the lowest it’s been since Trump….HAHAHAHA! You are so incredibly stupid. I bet you don’t know how you ended up eating shit there.

These other numbers are just as fantastical and fantasy.

The economy has added over 16.5 million jobs under Biden, more than every single Republican administration combined even if you remove Trumps disastrous record of LOSING 3 million jobs over his administrations tenure. Such a drop in jobs has never been seen outside of war time.

Who lied to you and told you he lost private sector jobs? Why are you so gullible and incapable of typing into google to see if Pravda is telling the truth (as if you need to)?
Trump lost private sector jobs, 3 million of them. Biden added 16.5 million of them…so because you can’t accept he succeeded you pretend they are all crap jobs with zero evidence and only Russian propaganda to regurgitate. 😂

Enjoy Vlad. Daddy Trump isn’t coming to save mother Russia, Momala Kamala is coming to spank you hard and long then give your toys to Ukraine.

Haha just teasing ya! You can't have this cool toy! Kids nowadays are extra cruel. Get off ma lawn!

True, true. But "Toy Train Drifting Meme" got a snappier ring to it than "Scale Model Train Drifting Meme" IMO though.

Missing the prefix word "Toy"! It'd be insanely cool if this can be pulled off IRL...

Lol…WOKE is dying as a slur. 😂

It’s not helping DeSantis screaming about woke everything every fourth word, and it’s hurting Florida terribly.
Not only has Disney cancelled well over a BILLION dollars of investments in Florida and decided not to create thousands of good paying jobs there (and beaten DeSantis in courts like a step child), tourism is falling, travel safety warnings growing daily, and at least 14 major conventions have cancelled citing a hostile political climate (like the Tom Joiner foundation (sports betting and online gambling), specialty toy retail association, research in vision and ophthalmology, and the national sales network conference…not liberal conferences, business conferences with tens of thousands of well off attendees now getting hotels and expensive meals in another state).

Florida, already over $24 BILLION IN DEBT (officially predicted to be over $30 billion by 2027) is losing three of its cash flow streams thanks to the undefined “war on woke” that has destroyed DeSantis’s campaign dreams. Not even most Republicans care about that stupid culture war “woke” nonsense, and those who do couldn’t tell you what it is if their lives depended on it. 😂

PS- now both kid Rock and Manly Greene have been caught selling or drinking the beer they both started a conservative boycott of, proving again your leaders (both cultural and political) don’t do or believe what they say….ever.

PPS- OCT 23 GEORGIA TRIAL DATE REQUEST!! And set!
I guess Cheesebro’s attempt to separate his trial by demanding a speedy trial isn’t working as expected. 😂

Triggered? Not in the least/

Nutboy. You are triggered Tool. Go sit in you little house and continue to believe that you are a big man.

Truth you truly have no grasp of reality. Yo drink your fake news as fast as you can. Hell you even go out of you way to prove your bigness. No on cares. You just a spect of dust.


I ignore you most day and toy you on other days.
I bet you still think Bidenomics is doing just fine. 3.5% of unemployment is great but thats all you see. Sad little man you are.


I see that we are getting close to a tipping point. It might take another 2 quarters, will see.

Calling fake. I think it’s a toy grenade and probably a coke/mentos or dry ice “bomb” underwater to make the relatively safe explosion that’s so poorly cut in at the end.

Notice he calmly holds onto the “grenade” for 3 full seconds before tossing it just feet away. No sane person would do that with a real live grenade that has a 4-5.5 second fuse and a fatality radius of 5 meters. Were it real, it easily could have exploded before hitting the water and he would be dead or severely injured. He didn’t even have a safety shield to hide behind.

A real golfball grenade sitting on the bottom like that would punch a hole in the best made pool, especially right next to the drain like it was, and the shockwave through the water would likely crack the walls.

Here’s what it really looks like (explosion at 1:14)

So many of those games and toys i had and completely forgotten about.
