This is the most fun I've had with a FPS in a long time. I esp. enjoy Gary's Mod. There's just something fun about high powered balloons!

Hmmm, Parafox hasn't posted here yet to flame Eskimo for daring to utter the sacred name of Half Life 2, he must be busy or summat.

That looks really awfull there mister! Nothing worse than a post like that... And I don't think HL2 is that good at all, Gary's mod is fun, but if a game depends on a mod to be fun it all stops there... I played 'till I got halfway or something and the only thing I actually like in the whole game is the gravity gun and even that wasn't blowing me away or something, it's just plain fun to throw paintbuckets at monsters But for the part of me not really liking HL2: - The atmosphere didn't catch me
- I didn't like HL1 either, didn't ever finish it, so I didn't catch the story very well
- It appears excessively demanding on my system
- Some annoying graphical 'mistakes'
- Weapons, nothing special except the gravity gun
- Headcrabs suck
- I personally think the monsters look stupid and anything but scary
Ofcourse there are also things I do like of HL2, like the graphics and those Combine guys rock, they look awsome and make cool dying sounds But let me explain the graphical 'mistakes': As you have probably all noticed is that when you receive your armor near the beginning of the game you see your own hands infront of you with you newly put-on gloves, looks really funky. Also the hands appear on the guns you carry (the HUD models), but where are the hands on the steering wheel of a buggy? Or any other vehicle? I don't know for sure, but I think he's driving without them For some reason that bugged me... And all textures in the entire game look very good, the design is nicely done, but sometimes on the middle of the road of pavement there are some papers or something lying around and it took me quite some time to figure out it were papers... That really looks awfull... As for the hype... Valve was screaming around how great their engine is and how great their physics engine was and lot's games actually bought that... I mean, the graphical engine is theirs, nothing to that, but the physics is anything but theirs, it's Havok 2 and no, they didn't develop Havok 2... They licenced it. Not that there is anything wrong with licencing a physics engine, not at all, but people I know had been totally paralized by the great work valve did by creating that physics engine... They did implement it very well though, but I wouldn't say they did a better job on that than, let's say, People can Fly on Painkiller... Well, this kinda concludes my point on HL2, if you do like HL2, I don't mind, you'll have your reasons, but if you think I said things that aren't, please correct me... I'll correct you again if you are wrong

CS Source was brilliant, the rest was average-to-good.

Well, HL2 is just blown up and for me it's nothing special... Some funky effects and that's it.

The only thing that's disappointing about HL2 is how hyped the AI was made by Valve. Like at E3 with the traptown video, that was supposedly unscripted and the AI would approach a situation in different ways (like blasting through the window as the other guy tries to barge in). But anyway, I still enjoyed it quite a bit as it had some very cool moments like Ravenholm and the whole strider segment. I'm not sure what you mean Doom about the game being very demanding on your system, I thought it was very well optimized.

Please Jest, don't bring me into this.
I was thinking of taking a picture of me in all my shaggy glory (with my crappy hair which gets in my eyes and my beard and moustache which gets in my mouth) before I took it off, but now I am tempted to shave and get a haircut the day that people in my class stop commenting on it.
I swear, if there is a day of college where Chris/Sylvia/Audrey/Matt/Jon/Ron/Phil/John don't comment on it, I will honestly take it off.
