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.

You have said for a while that Bidenomics failed America despite the amazing positive economic numbers that outpaced every other economic covid recovery in the world, and have predicted a crash since Jan 21 2021…
…but have been saying “ The next POTUS will be hit hard with failing economy, thanks to Bidinomics.” for only 6 days now, followed by ridiculous fake economic numbers like a fake loss of 28000 jobs in October when there was an addition of 12000 in reality (still the worst since Trump), and comparing that to pre-pandemic numbers because you need to forget Trump’s entire last year to make his numbers acceptable or superior….Biden only created 12000 this one month, his worst….how many did Trump LOSE in his worst month? He lost around 9 million in 2020, and 3.5 million over his presidency. THE WORST JOBS RECORD IN HISTORY. Even if you forget the over 9 million Trump lost in 2020, Biden still created 2 1/2 times as many jobs in 4 years at 14-16 million to Trump’s just over 6.
Then there’s GDP , which again is no contest unless you forget 2020.
Previously you have claimed only a Trump presidency would avert a recession/depression, and a Biden, then Harris administration was a guaranteed depression and market crash….exactly the same as you said in 2020. Now that he has a second term with full control of all 3 branches of government, you say of course he can’t avert a depression and the economy will do a full 180 from the consistent positive growth numbers under Biden and when he takes over it will crash fast, but it will be Biden’s fault. I’m not surprised even a little. You never once have accepted reality or a whit of responsibility.
Reality is the economy crashed badly under Trump and the debt ballooned, the worst economic crash in our lifetimes by far with most jobs lost and biggest deficit and a million dead, and rebounded under Biden with half the added debt despite being handed the already crashed and sinking fast economy. Now Trump gets a second shot with a healthy economy and numbers trending up, I bet he turns it around again.

It seems you agree, he’s going to tank the currently very healthy economy and put us in a depression, you just want to blame someone else who is not in charge when it happens.

Bwaaahahaha! That’s absolutely not what you said, you said it will be great under the felon, booming all the time, everything will be amazingly better in every way…or crash immediately under Harris (just like you said in 2016 and 2020)….hypocritically hilarious that now you admit he will tank it. 😂

Also hilarious you want zero responsibility despite having 100% control….or it would be hilarious if your party wasn’t led by an infantile fascist with unregulated power and immunity for ignoring the constitution on a vendetta against over half the country.

The Biden economy is the envy of the entire world and far better than the first Trump economy unless you erase all his losses and only count successes. It is growing, not shrinking, manufacturing, gdp, jobs, wages, and earning power are ALL growing, deficit, inflation and interest shrinking..and every other metric is moving in a positive direction under Biden including the deficit. That will not continue under the bankrupter in chief. Hide and watch. He will double the debt and we will have nothing to show for it but another negative gdp.

GDP, stock markets, profits, jobs stupid, infrastructure, all measurably and significantly better under Biden than the felon, all better under Biden even erasing the omnibus disaster that was 2020 under Trump.

I blamed Trump for year 1 of Bidenomics because he kept most Trump policies, just as I will blame Bidenomics for the first 6 months to 1 year of Trumpenomics (depending on what he changes and how fast).

I just gave you the clear undisputed starting point numbers. Just like in 2016. I would bet whatever you want that, again, they will be worse after 4 years, but you Welch on bets so I’ll just make you a gentleman’s bet, those and all other economic numbers (except the personal wealth of the top 1%) will be worse in 4 years.

If he follows through with the mass deportations, that will trigger a depression.
If he kills the ACA with just a concept of a replacement, it will trigger a recession.
If he enacts 20% tariffs on imports, it will trigger a recession, followed by a trade war, followed by a global depression.
If he withholds federal funding from blue states as he has threatened, it will trigger a civil war.
The first tump administration was a slow train wreck (with a few actual train wrecks thrown in), the Biden administration has been a slow cleanup of that wreck…admittedly far too slow. The next 4 years are poised to be an ELE size meteor strike, making us wish for those halcion days of deregulated chemical train wrecks.

Yes. Never bet against the prejudices and stupidity of the average voter. Think how stupid the average person is, then realize fully half are actually stupider than that.

Still bragging about his “love fest” as an amazing event everyone loved, still hasn’t disavowed the comments he approved ahead of time (he read the script and he had him remove jokes calling Kamala a cunt, so he knew exactly what would be said ahead of time and approved), which he should have done at the event if he disagreed with the constant overt racism that every single pre-vetted speaker read from the teleprompters the campaign loaded with their hate speech.
Puerto Ricans and Latinos are not coming back. They can sway multiple swing states and even red states like Florida…lose Florida you lose it all. Good job!

Even Raphael “Ted” Cruz is losing in Texas….before the Nazi…I mean maga rally. Tons of Latinos in Texas, and Cruz has been clear he’s not there for them.

The Hitler/nazi praise isn’t going away, it’s being reinforced by his behavior, his plans (both stated and leaked), his constant abusive racism, and more and more direct witnesses coming forward to confirm that is who he is. Good job!

Once again, know Elon and Trump have both admitted their economic plans will decimate the economy, they expect it to fail so they can “rebuild it”. They are PLANNING A DEPRESSION because it will make it easier to rob America and they can afford it.

Oops, maga Mike said he will kill Obamacare (with no replacement) and completely deregulate healthcare (no more medicine that has medicine in it) and industry (because everyone knows industry always self regulates safely and honestly). He’s supposed to keep that quiet until Nov 6, dummy!

Daniel Miller- Another maggot caught committing voter fraud already, used the absentee ballot for her dead mother to vote for the felon in Minnesota.
Once again, lots of instances of individual voter fraud already found this election, so far all of them maga.

Jesse Lutzenberger- repeatedly punched a 69 year old poll worker for telling him to remove his campaign hat at the polls (wearing campaign gear or signs at polls is a crime in Texas). He’s by far not the only one…fat ugly bitches removing their ”I’m voting for the felon” shirts to vote in their underwear while cursing and spitting at poll workers is the norm for your fat ugly disgusting women.

Valerie BianCanello- The RNC official arrested at the Pennsylvania polls for repeatedly harassing voters in line to vote and screaming at them about who they have to vote for.

Charles Pierce - Redding Ca landlord who stole 4 tenants ballots and used them to vote for the felon then was stupid enough to brag about it on Twitter.

Seems a lot of you understand there’s no way you can win the election without massive frauds and violent intimidation….and even with them chances are increasingly slim.

Also today the campaign announced there will be no FBI vetting of his cabinet for security clearances because he knows the people project 2025 has lined up for him can’t pass one and many are unregistered foreign agents….kinda like Jared Kushner.

The campaign itself insulting all Puerto Ricans and all Latinos on national tv, calling them all garbage, is just amazing. Being a fascist Nazi wasn’t enough it seems, he needed to ramp up the hate at exactly the worst time. Good job. Before you try to excuse it as one comedian making jokes, the campaign read and approved every disgustingly racist word said on stage that night before the event. They approved calling American citizens “garbage” and Latino American citizens “breeders who don’t pull out, they just cum inside…like they do your country.” and talking about “carving watermelons” with the black guy for trump for Halloween.
THEY APPROVED IT ALL. It is crushing you. Puerto Rican voters are now polling >90% Harris, nearing 100%.

Amazing, love this stuff.

lol….maga terrorists blinked again and gave up your idiotic Trump plan to close the government right before the election to crash the economy for Trump. He still assumes any shutdown would be blamed on Biden, assuming no one pays attention.
Trump is so pissed! Another “L”
Americans won’t forget the 4th attempt to crash the economy for one man’s gain though, and we/they see clearly exactly who is trying to crash it. 😂

Thank you for sticking with Mark Robinson, the black Nazi, slavery fan, and golden shower enthusiast that likes to tell everyone about how great his sister in law’s unwashed asshole tastes after he pisses and jizzes all over it, and other even more disgusting debauchery even I won’t repeat. His direct ties with the felon couldn’t be stronger or less escape-able. Trump 100% vouched for him in the strongest terms…birds of a feather.
Another “L”.
I know you are still voting for Robinson despite the horrific facts about him, he 100% represents your morals. 😂
AMAZINGLY APPARENTLY HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN STAFF JUST QUIT! Seems like they’re certain it’s all true, and why wouldn’t they be, it’s 100% verified and years or decades of disgusting insanity using his screen name, e-mail, and ip address from long before he was a public figure (before you try to claim its a plant)

Florida is now in play, more so now since over 500000 naturalized Haitians live in Florida, they vote, and they don’t eat pets (the felon won Florida by 375000 votes in 2020). Expect the numbers to get worse for you, Harris has a 21% lead with women nationwide today. As his sentencing nears and it becomes clear Vance will likely be the actual president if they win (so he can have the power to pardon Trump or allow him to flee the country), his numbers will plummet faster than DJT stock! Vance is horrifically unpopular with every group besides maga men!

Another MAGA gun nut tried to assassinate the felon. A Trump voter turned Haley supporter.
Why does MAGA want to murder Trump?

Oops…JD Vance admitted on CNN that he created the eating cats story to get people to talk about immigration….yes, he unambiguously admitted he made it up to get you upset over immigration and trick you into voting for him because they lose on any other topic. HE FUCKING ADMITTED IT PLAINLY.
You still believe it, don’t you? You believed the old video of an American citizen having a psychotic break in another town and killing a cat somehow proved it was true…because you are an amazingly gullible ignoramus who always prefers lies to facts.

JD Vance aligned himself with the Proud Boys who are assaulting legal migrants and committing terrorist acts like bomb threats in Ohio based on the lies Vance admits he made up.

Still no explanation for the $10 million cash bribe paid to the felon by Egypt right before he changed US policy for Egypt’s benefit.

Margin of error beaten in all recent polls.

Incorrect.
Not surprising, you know nothing, and your memory makes a gnat seem like Dave Farrow by comparison.

Edit: you would benefit from this…. https://www.factcheck.org/2021/10/trumps-final-numbers/

The decline of jobs under the felon was due to his absolutely disastrous response to Covid, (not that he was doing great before, well under 1/2 what Biden produced even if you still ridiculously erase 3 million from Biden) first dismantling the agency that tracked diseases overseas allowing it to fester unnoticed, second his racist response by banning CHINESE people from traveling to America but not people who were in China, guaranteeing the virus would get here, then third ignoring it for months pretending it was a cold, guaranteeing a total American endemic that killed twice as many Americans as it should because of the felon’s terrible response, then his obvious distain for any public health measures and his idiot cultists following suit caused at least half the deaths we had and extended the endemic and shutdowns at least twice as long as if we had followed instructions, maybe 3 times as long…his own CDC said exactly that. Comparison with nations whose leaders LEAD proves it was worse than that, and not just Asian nations that culturally are predisposed to follow directions, NZ for instance was barely affected because they listened and locked down and masked up. Australia too.
Truth is he likely lost 4 million jobs, but 1 million of them died so never became unemployed.

Joe has created 5 times the jobs the felon lost, he recreated all 3 million he lost and 12 million more you idiot. I know you can’t possibly give him any credit for rescuing and invigorating the economy, but he did, amazingly well. You can discount the 3 million your guy lost if it makes you feel better, but he still produced another 12 million, more than all Republican administrations during our lifetime combined, and fixed the mess the felon left….sucker.

You have always been in complete denial of everything in reality, friendo. You said depression would hit by June 21. You said Pelosi wasn’t attacked by a MAGGOT. You said adult only pride events happen in front of children. You said police never shoot innocent victims and Ashley Babbit was shot by police for innocent behavior. Every single point you try to make is based in lies, and you know it. You never defend your lies, because you can’t, that’s why you constantly just disappear from a thread, only to start a new line of lies elsewhere.

You being a complete and utter imbecile, I can understand your inability to think, but I think it’s time to quit you. I will be requesting a siftquisition soon to remove your trolling from the site, you add nothing but lies and whining, and your racism is on full display with Harris as the candidate. I think we can be done.

What did you say? More lies. You never say anything but. Every word you write is dishonest twaddle at best, more often racist fascist lies. Every word I write is easily verifiable through multiple legitimate sources, not a single failure angrily vlogging from mommy’s basement. You lied and claimed the adult only event was happening in front of children. I have pointed out this lie a half dozen times. You continue to pretend you don’t know you lied, which is another lie. You can do nothing but lie. It is likely why your family won’t talk to you and I bet you are in trouble at work. It must be a miserable existence trying to keep all these lies alive at the cost of your humanity, all for a felon, charity thief, and child raping racist.

The Olympics opening that referenced Greek mythology but morons who can’t count or think think it referenced the last supper? Yep, no problem at all, only morons who create problems out of ignorance like you. If you want Sharia, move to Afghanistan and leave the west alone.

When are you going to lose your shit over the woman boxer who fought another woman? I know it outraged you, you are exactly that dumb.

Fixed that for you.

The Biden/Harris track record isn’t just head and shoulders above the DonOld track record, it’s a stellar penthouse performance vs sub basement with plans to dig down hard.

Prosecutor/AG vs felon and rapist and multi decade partner with Epstein
Healthy GDP vs NEGATIVE GDP
Best unemployment numbers in living history vs worst unemployment numbers in history period
Strengthened international relations with our allies vs Strenghened international relations with our enemies (by capitulating to them)
Infrastructure bill vs Mythical infrastructure week
Health care vs attempts to end health subsidies
25% drop in crime vs The biggest single year increase in crime in history
$4 trillion in debt invested in America vs $9 trillion in debt with nothing to show for it
Tax breaks for the poor vs Tax breaks for the ultra rich
Made a career of enforcing the law and constitution vs made a career out of flauting the law and called to suspend the constitution for his benefit
Minority woman professional vs professional misogynistic racist

All that on top of his project 2025, his advanced age, his track record of bankruptcy over and over and over and over and over and over, his fraudulent businesses and charities, his viscous vindictiveness, and his utterly ridiculous VP pick who appeals to no one and supports Sharia law

It really is amazing anyone would consider anyone with a record 1/10 as bad as his.
It is not a bit surprising Harris is reaping the fruits of HIS unpopularity.

Amazing that people are so gullible for a person that has such a poor track record of leadership are thinking of her a potus.

Downvote based purely on the description, which is insanity. Could only make it 30 seconds into this delusional masturbatory fantasy. “Everyone's getting fired across all industries, says Danielle. U.S. recession is here and the housing market is crashing.” She actually said this recession started last October. The economy is falling the economy is falling!…the MAGA mantra since Biden took office and never true.
(Edit…gave it another try only to find out it’s at least in part a commercial for real estate agents from a real estate agency! LOL)

The market is at record highs and rocketing up, unemployment still at (near) record lows, gdp up 3.4% 4th quarter 23, inflation 3% and falling (-.1% in May-June), yearly wage growth 4.7% in April (last #s), manufacturing steadily on the rise, profits are record highs, oil production at record highs and rising, and the 100% guaranteed deep recession/depression we had coming after 2020 was averted.
Even immigration is getting drastically better since Biden sidestepped the obstructionist MAGA congress and acted unilaterally like he should never have to if congress functioned.

The current state of the economy is not good, it’s GREAT!

Compared to the last year of the felon’s administration, 2020, it’s impossibly amazingly stupendous, the Trump administration failed in every way and left the next administration holding the bag…this administration turned the failed economy 180 degrees around to become the envy of the world economically, created more jobs than every Republican president in my lifetime combined (the last guy lost more than anyone ever) created more manufacturing jobs than the last guy lost (and that’s a lot) took a negative gdp to a healthy positive, turned record high unemployment into record low unemployment for a record long time period, saved democracy and NATO in Europe, avoided the guaranteed recession/depression we were headed into in Jan 21, and never sold state secrets or policy for personal or familial gains (despite all the myriad of false never proven claims).
More projection from the party that nearly ended America in 2020, then tried again on Jan 6 21.

Amazing *doublepromote

“Fined for mishandling the payment “?
She hired a law firm and classified the payment as legal fees. Isn’t that something your side says isn’t a crime? 😂
The dossier was bought and paid for by Republicans, then sold to the Clinton Campaign. I know you hate that fact, but it’s there.

The laptop contents are fantasy, as is the diary. Half truths and pure fiction. Shouldn’t have tampered with it if you wanted anyone to pay attention….not that it would matter anyway, Hunter is nobody.

The economy crashed under the felon, it got better under Biden. Trump can get credit for the first 6-12 months of the next president’s economy which were not good, but absolutely not last 12 which so far are amazing, far better than the last guy’s best year.

Michael Flynn was convicted of treasonous activity and the felon Trump pardoned him because he did the treason for Trump, namely negotiating with Russia in December before his administration started then lying about it to the FBI.

The Biden’s did no such thing and your multiple investigations have found zero evidence of any payoffs nor a single time Biden changed policy to help China, that was Don and Ivanka who were given millions in patents then the next morning changed policy to favor China, then were gifted more million dollar patents. You can’t point to any untoward or even questionable payment after 4 full years of investigations. At best you just refuse to hear the verified explanations and make up crimes.

Trump lost jobs. He left a negative gdp and recession. Shelves went bare under the felon. Over 1 million Americans died due to his policy according to his own CDC. He added more to the debt and deficit in one term than any listed president did in two. The wannabe dictator left the nation more divided than any time since the 1850s and continues to sew division constantly. Trump was worse than any you listed by any measure. You simply deny the facts.

Nice pedophile fantasy you have there, every accusation is an admission, but not smart especially since Trump definitely fucked his daughter and has bragged about it publicly for decades, Barron is definitely her son, the resemblance is there but not with Melania. Trump is on the Epstein list more than anyone else but Maxwell who he still wishes well…know who isn’t? Biden. Trump is an adjudicated rapist with now 40 accusers. Know who isn’t? One has 34 felony convictions…which one was that? 😂

BTW- the first few post debate polls are out…Biden gained a few points after the debate. Enjoy!

To lose, your points must not be valid.
To win, your points must be valid.
Biden won.

Biden also showed his age and missed multiple opportunities to stick it to the felon.

Trump couldn’t get a single fact correct, that’s not good, it’s not even OK. In a debate, that’s a total fail.
Yes, I understand this was more campaign commercial than actual debate. In that, Biden lost.

If Michelle would accept the nomination it would be amazing, Trump would be done and America would be saved by a brilliant woman…but she won’t. I would still be excited for Buttigieg, my choice in 20, but I don’t think he’s going to try either. Anyone is better than the fascist felon. ANYONE. Biden is still a better choice if he’s in a coma.
