      He’s only 27!? I’ve never paid that much attention to the details of these games so I just always assumed he was in his 40s.

        He was the new guy, straight out of MIT, lowest on the totem pole. That’s why he was the one shoving that crystal into the gigantic laser.

    You’re not smart. You’re not a scientist. You’re not a doctor. You’re not even a full-time employee!

  • I remember an ad for Half-Life that was like “Most shooters just have you run and shoot, but Half-Life will make you think.

    It did not. The puzzles weren’t anything a toddler couldnt solve in 2 seconds, there are barely any of them anyway, and most of the game is just running and shooting.

      I haven’t played half life. Isn’t the point to make you think more about the story than about the challenge of the game?

      Also the bit really near the start where you ride a lift up and headcrabs with janky hotboxes rain down on Gordon being easily the hardest part of the entire game.

      Drag got stuck in Black Mesa at the reception area. It looks like the way forward is through the big doorway, but it’s actually through the tiny vent drag didn’t notice for 20 minutes

      Yeah, that’s what that did because Valve thought the tube under the barrel was… another barrel, for some reason.
