Okay, here's my theory:
Alyx is Gordon's daughter.
Eli knows. Eli's pissed about it.
Gordon make good love with Eli's chick.
No good for Eli. But G-Man tells Eli: listen, I know you hate that MoFo,
but whenever we send him on a rampage everything goes booooom which is good for getting rid...
did u just validate via the 320 command or did u install with that little "my games" icon. i tried to start after the first downloadinng, nothing happened, then i realised there is an extra hl2dm icon, some extra downloading, now it works.
When the gman gets black and white you are teleporting. We are then in the "train". Its not the trainstation train, I also dont believe its the black mesa waggon. Its more some time travel train. Whatever.
I think comments on this, be they by HL2.net or who ever, should be nothing but neutral. Of course it is a topic about people doing ILLEGAL stuff, yet, Steams DRM Policies are somewhat questionable.
I found Doom³ more stressful than scary.
It really was a pain playin it.
With all the flickering and moaning and so on.
Intense but in the wrong way.
HL2 plays awesome and is very well paced.
Wouldn't call it scary though.
