From the guy that brought you the true face of Alyx's mother (It was the actress that did Alyx's voice) and where they got the voice for the combine dispatcher and general City 17 announcer (It was the dispatcher on "Mad Max"); now comes "WTF???? Franz Ferdinand in HL2??" That's right. Franz...

It more than likely means something. Every time she is troubled she will hold it. So probably something to do with her mother.

Sure it's been defeated, but not conquered per say. Conquered would imply that the combine would immediately be "moving in". They don't seem to be doing any more than turning it into a mine, bridge, or (at best) an outpost. All that they have built is purely destructive in nature, nothing has...

Personally; I'm really happy that the whole "Destroyed Earth" theme they were going for in the beginning was replaced with an "Abandoned Earth" feel. It just makes things eerier because it's all familiar but all still wrong.

They were definitely going for a more cyber-punk, post apocalyptic story with an Alyx who was the usual "Sexy bad-ass bitch" with a weird, equally bad-ass dog-type character at first. And then they realized every game is like that and decided to make HL2 good.

Aw crap! I really have to start reading the whole, small post before giving advice... He wants a VCD! The program you want to make one of those is TMPGEnc (don't let the name scare you, it has a very friendly interface). VCD's must be encoded in MPEG-1. That is the only encoding that will...

I freelance video editing to help pay the bills and, although I'm shamed to say it, WM9 Encoder (Windows Media 9 Encoder) gives you the best quality/size ratio you can get for free. It's might even be one of the best overall except the .wmv format has a really tough time with high-quality video...

Wow... The possibilites for the mod community are endless.

I may be the only one who says this but: I agree with you. Steam has be nothing but good times for me. Excluding the first few months when it was pretty much a public beta test. The only problem would be if every other software company decided to copy steam. Then anytime you wanted to play a...

It is. And you would get some terrible burns.

That omnipresent female voice you hear everywhere from combine radio "death alerts" to citizen mis-behavior announcements has been bugging me for a long time, I knew I heard it somewhere I just had no idea where. After rummaging through my DVD's last night for a good action movie I remembered I...

There are stories meant to be left open and stories meant to be closed; Half-Life is meant to be closed. Nothing ruins a good open story like closing it and nothing ruins a good closed story like leaving it open. The Matrix? Should have been closed but left open for the sake of money...

Oh... I'd better play Deus Ex then... I only played the second one and thought it sucked so I didn't bother with the first.

It doesn't seem like her parents have taught her about humility... The whole "I don't think any of this of my own skill, God does it." thing may seem like she's being humble; but then you have to realize that her bragging about skill in art (if any such skill actually exists for her) would be...

I can't comprehend the viewpoint of these people saying it's stupid not having him speak or showing any cut scenes. I know people that literally hate the game just because of those two things. They think it's inconcieveable and amateurish not putting in speaking or cut scenes... The lack of...
