I don't believe that the controllers had any amount of direct mind-control over the Nihilanth, but I do believe that he was their "pet" or "tool" to control the rest of the Xen. You're absolutly right. When I say control in my theory, I use the term very loosely. For instance, you control...

What the? Did you even read my post? I'm not complaining that the Stalker isn't attacking the soldier (we've seen Stalkers and soldiers together before), I'm complaining that the soldier isn't attacking the player whose perspective this screenshot is from. How is that any argument for...

Again, they really haven't to the public. They said we will be "continuing Gordon's adventures." True enough.... unless the character we play as doesnt have an HUD yet, at this point in the game. Heh... maybe you play as a Stalker. Just kidding, good point. Honestly, before I saw the...

I remember going through the game and realizing that there were a few Nihilanth clips in the flies that never made it in-game... this might be one of them, but maybe not. So, in order to aid all of our efforts, where exactly does he say this? I suspect not. They have a hard enough time...

You guys know me, I'm always logical. I'd actually like to play as Gordon more than anyone else, but I am not entirely convinced, yet, that you play as Gordon Freeman. Please, allow me to explain my point. If you disagree or can offer counter evidence, go for it. First of all, all of those...

The legions grow, comrade Angry Lawyer. The hierarchy shall be pleased. :p ;( I'm... I'm so proud. Try 21 credit hours of engineering... my free time got a lot shorter and spending hours a day speculating about a video game, although the best ever made, just wasn't an efficient...

Alrighty then... its your thread. Wow. I actually didn't know that one. That's pretty cool.

Nice work dude. This seems to be a HL encyclopedia instead of a "comprehensive theory." Considering that at every place where there is the slightest bit of doubt you say "possibly" or "probably," I think there is one place where you should put a "possibly" which is whenever you refer to the...

Wow. Looks good. All I can say is, make sure you keep to the HL Storyline... I would hate for what looks like its going to be such a great MOD to not quite fit in with the actual events of HL. [Remember, its never been proven that the Combine controlled Xen.)

Yes. It could not 'see.' If you threw a grenade to the other side of the blast pit and crouched around, they would keep pecking at where the grenade went off.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4308315.stm I figured that since this was on BBC's technology frontpage it deserved to be posted. At least these people know a good game when they see it, unlike those CGW subterranean mole people.

We can just post a thread that says I TOLD YOU SO! and reply to it every day saying "I TOLD YOU SO!" again so it stays at the top. :) ... of course with no reference to what we mean... everyone who matters will know.

Uhm... because Barney was your "sidekick" in the original Half-Life? I like to believe that the Barney in HL2 wasn't even the Barney in Blue Shift. Notice how he owes you a beer and remarks "Just like old times, eh Gordon?" when you're both fighting. This means he interacted with you in the...

Blasphemer! Gordon makes labcoats, nerdy glasses, goatees, crowbars, science, clumsiness, and nerds in general look good :). That's why we love him... he gives us geeks hope to be cool. In our minds, he proves that we would singlehandedly win out over battalions of soldiers any day (assuming we...

So we've got Professor Xavier exploring the caverns of Xen noticing the crystals in the lower left, we've got Diablo crossed with an Doom Imp, and Officer Alex J. Murphy. I'm not an artist, and my criticism is probably worthless, so I'm merely attempting to get a quick laugh by showing...
