Maybe telekinesis requires concentration and they don't wanna do that for every little thing. Or it isn't precise enough, as other have said.

The HEV suit is providing protection....you don't get killed in one hit by a vortigaunt blast for the same reason you can withstand more gunfire than those dumb-ass rebels.

Or maybe its just the HEV suit. Man, I feel like an idiot.

While leather might insulate you (I really know almost nothing about leather), her arms neck and head are completely exposed. While it might be mitigated due to the fect it's summer, 3- 12 C. temperatures can feel pretty cold, especially if you've been outside for a while.

Wait, he said the reason arthropods hadn't taken the large animal niche was because vertebrates had already taken it. I said that arthropods hadn't taken that niche essentially because their adaptations made it difficult if not impossible to get larger than they were. He then said that...

Headcrabs are close onto ten pounds. Anything hitting your head that heavy is going to hurt. Couple that with a sharp beak and claws and/or venom, and you get a dangerous creature. The question is, when given the chance, why didn't they? Nothing was holding that niche at all. It was...

Still, most people aren't armed when not part of an active paramilitary group. I'm not sure wherre the resistance gets their weapons. ? How can they change? If the arthropods could have changed, they would have done so back when they colonized land. They didn't because at the time they...

I'll grant you this one. I'm not even sure what I was trying to say. However, selective pressure is one of the biggest forces in evolution. Then why is it that once headcrabs infiltrate human settlements everyone dies, extraordinary individuals like grigori notwithstanding? Headcrabs are...

I voted meet the medic. He desperately needs some characterization.

I find that that gravity gun just makes the crowbar obsolete. The gravity gun kills headcrabs at a distance, smashes crates, acts as a weapon. I think it would be good to let the real iconic half-life weapon have some love.

I wouldn't want it. Part of the fun for me is knowing were all of the enemies spawn, were all of the ammo is. I wouldn't be able to do this if they implemented the full AI director. But hey, that's just me.

Blast pit? I think I get it. EDIT: Ew, I would hate fighting those ichthyosaur things. SO...many..nightmares.

I hope she gets a new model. While Gordon mught be able to stand those temperatures with the HEV suit, no way is Alyx going to wear that leather jacket.

Didn't the say they were going to make more? I thought this was just the end of the current arc.

Dammit, my image of Gabe Newell as some sort of well-muscled ubermensch has been shattered forever. EDit: Great interview though. Pretty interesting.
