Yeah, I never saw it either. *shrugs*

Hmm... when I go to my 'episodic' folder, I don't have the "sound" folder. Is it hidden, or do I need to install something special to access it?

I agree that "real terror" and "new hero" do sound a little awkward... but I'm convinced that it was entirely deliberate. I mean, a) Alyx has been crushing on this guy for a game and a half, now, and it's not like she is exactly Ms. Flirty-and-Sociable, and b) Alyx just watched Gordon take out...

... with whom? Dr. Mossman? Generic female rebel #119? There isn't exactly a superabundance of female characters for her to be a lesbian with. Not that I think she is... like it was said before, she is WAY too much of a flirt with Gordon to not have a crush on him. It's pretty obvious, so...

Personally, I sleep worse for knowing just what the Combine were doing to human "anticitizens."

Slave labor you can trust with your secrets, because they have no way of communicating them to the outside. Slave labor you don't have to feed. Slave labor that can't fight back or run away. Slave labor with completely modular limbs, so you can "outfit" them with the tools they need for their...

I think the symbolism is absolutely correct. Father Grigori truly is a (slightly mad) modern day holy warrior, dispensing the wrath and forgiveness of God in equal measures. You are truly supposed to think of him as this avenging angel, appearing suddenly in pools of light, destroying the...

It would still be an improvement for humanity than facing extinction while enslaved to the Combine. Heh, that would be quite a twist. The final boss would be the severed soul of the Nihilanth, and you'd have to enter the Vortessence to defeat him.

I have to concur with this. If Gordon hadn't defeated the Nihilanth, the Portal Storms would have still occurred, but would have been worse because the intelligent, relatively organized (and still-enslaved) Vortigaunts would have been at their vanguard, along with those weird bloated...

Ah, I love "Concerned." It's quite clever and well done.

You are too kind, sir.

Wow! I'm honored by all the reviews. I'm glad people are enjoying the story, and I'm pleased to report that this installment, though still very short, is quite a bit longer than the first two. And now, without any further ado, I present to you... Black Mesa East By the time Urban...

No, I think he just typed it in a hurry. Anyways, back to the original issue - do we ever see headcrab zombies eating in Half Life 2? They're "mouths" are much less obvious, and look more like gaping holes in their bodies - those "teeth" just look like shattered ribs, and you can see the...

... I'm so confused right now. What on Earth (or Xen) are you talking about?

I figured it was some kind of tremorsense, where they detected movement through vibrations.
