I'm surprised no one has mentioned the short story in Raising the Bar where Gordon, Alyx and some Rebels are in a snowy area and fight a whole army of reprogrammed DOG-bots (same robot model) being airlifted from Combine Carriers, it could be Valve's chance to get this in.
It's called a joke, and all the ch00bs going 'OMG POKERMAN IS TEH WURST EVAR!!!!1112' don't seem to get them.
-and as for complaining about the TV Show, it really isn't at large anymore unless you wake up early on Saturday Mornings on some obscure channel and tape your eyes to the screen...
How would a Combine react to having his clothes torn off or being groped anyway?
'Jokes on you! The combine removed them ages ago.'
'Tough luck, i used to be a woman.'
'Aieee, pervert!'
'All feeling has been removed, i am invicible to your attack Freeman!'
'Aieee, my weak spot!'
Ok, in the UK the release price for BS was 15 quid while HL's was 40, not very much at all. Of course now you can get BS, HL, OpFor and TFC for 15 quid. -_-;
