I can't remember. Was he in HL2 episode 1 too? I don't remember him in episode 2.

You kill him at the end of HL2.

Spoiler alert much?


You don't need spoiler warnings for games over 6 years old.

There's a section where he shows up briefly on a video monitor, but it's quickly revealed to be a recording of his conversation with a Combine Advisor near the end of HL2, shortly after the incident in his office.

Nicely done. Gordon Freeman is a skinny nerd in a suit though, not a body builder.

I only buy games on Steam that are on sale. If I buy something new it is the good old fashioned way. Steam will probably be a better outlet for older games but I do not have good faith in new games on it yet. The prices are rarely compeditive for new games compared to just walking to a store and buying the damn thing and I get a physical copy of the game. I realize the whole point of Steam is to install games anywhere which is nice, but you still have to wait a few hours (or more) when downloading a 5-10GB game!

The sales are indeed nice, but I sometimes dislike the OMG 1 DAY SALE TOO LATE IF YOU MISSED IT LOL!!!1 I missed out on the EA racer package in July since I was on vacation

Now if only they gave the amount of attention they have been giving $20 Team Fortress 2 (ALOT) to stuff like $50 Left 4 Dead... Oh yeah and where is HL2 Ep. 3 This kind of lop-sided support is a bit odd but I cannot complain as they are still better than most game companies

The only real complaint I can see about Steam (and why I don't buy anything new as such a small investment into it) is that if you lose your account or it gets deactivated for whatever reason you lose ALL your games and there is NO recourse thanks to the EULA. Maybe Valve will be nice when Steam eventually falls under and allow you to unlock what you have... but what if someone buys out Valve

I've not yet checked out any previews for Civ5 (I know I know, an affront to fellow strategy gamers and my early years playing Civ1), but I'm definitely looking forward to it, and SC2 hype is a given (it's currently slated for July, btw). Having said that, screw WOW and screw the Harry Potter movie. While both are appealing to the masses, I'd hardly call them quality products in their genres (I'd say that WOW is polished and generating an assload of revenue for Bobby fucking Kotick, sure, but like many MMORPGs it operates on an immoral foundation (grinding) not unlike that of Farmville, therefore I can't condone it).

Now entertainment-wise, I'm hyped for to Episode 3 of HL2, which just *might* be coming out this holiday season, Crysis 2, and Aliens: Colonial Marines. As far as movies currently set for a fall release go, I'm looking forward to Red and Tron Legacy.

Looks and sounds like a 'manhack' from HL2.


That's exactly what I was thinking. I doubt a crowbar would be of much use.

Nope, no sarcasm at all... I hate online play. Although, with friends, on a LAN, that is fun, and as such, I can see that you could eventually get to that point on general online play... I guess.
I don't have the time, patience, or inclination to build up the teams/organize times to play together etc. only to end up playing a fast twitch game where this sort of bullshit taunting goes on.
I enjoy single player games with stories, I enjoy playing through crafted experiences like Bioshock, HL2 and it's sequels, Arkham Asylum etc. Or, just fun puzzle games like World of Goo. Westy, you either have an unrealistically high bar for single player games, or just don't play good ones. Personally... I'd rather AI that's trying to fit into the world, rather than playing a WW2 game and have the enemy tea bag me, or yelling 'die fags'... that breaks me out of the immersion far more than a bit of dodgy AI.
That's where my enjoyment comes from I'm afraid... I just don't find enjoyment in online gaming.
I can SEE the attraction, especially in games like Eve Online etc. where it's like living in a futuristic world... but really, that's a time investment of a few orders of magnitude higher than I can give to anything that's not productive.



I enjoy both multilayer and single player , Its just that the the story telling in single player games is UTTER SHIT . compare the stories and emotoinal impact in games to a good film or book its just depressing. also the fact that the game play in single player games is often so predictable its just annoying. I really enjoy single player games as a peace of art of a mideum thats still in its black and white without sound stage.

Evan coop instantly makes any single player game infinitely better. the technology is not really there to deliver engrossing single player games of a high sophistication , Maby as a games Designer things stick out to me more than they do other people but I can still recognize fantastic single player games but Evan the really good ones the plot is that of a TV BMovi


Here is a list of some single player games that were really good.
Half life 1 , operation flash point , shadow of the colossus. The Penumbra Series , max Payne 1 and 2. portal ,
System Shock 2, myst series.

I always find it Amusing that still Half life 1 is more advanced and natural in the way it tells its story than modern FPS games. Mirrors edge has really nice environments and some well designed levels (in terms of game play) but the story is badly written and the cut scenes are annoying.
