Anything to talk about?

[Mr-Fusion]

Anyone got anything?

Parachutes? Could we have parachutes in Half-Life2? The cloth would use the physics and would fold/etc on landing. There would actually be wind resistance. Is there wind resistance in HL2?

Yeah? No?

tumble weed rolls by

*cough* *cough*

Wasn't someone meant to be visiting Valves offices recently? Some guy...i can't remember who.

 

[Korgoth]

yeah its awfully sleepy around here.. I don't think we will have much to talk about until the official web site goes up, or E3 arrives, whichever comes first.

 

[un om bun]

I think they should put trash and pieces of paper on the streets so the wind would move them around... bla, bla in our dreams. Or maybe leaves falling from the trees. Or bad smells in the tunnels.
Oh, the possibilities !

 

[Mr-Fusion]

That's actually a great idea un om bun. It's a small feature but would make certain areas so much more immersive. You could actually script sequences where wind rustles up a whole bunch of papers, you soil your pants because you think it's an alien....but no it was just the wind

 

[mrchimp]

I hate to say it but leaves and parachutes have already been discussed... infact there's emails in the Valve thread about them.

 

[frances_farmer]

lets complain about how Valve isn't simulating bouncing boobies yet Troika are.

*grumbles*

 

[un om bun]

Damn, we didn't pay enough atention !

And yeah, the trick with the wind would have been cool. Not to mention the bouncing boobies. Mmmm..... Barney's bouncing pecs

 

[Mr-Fusion]

No bouncing boobies!? That's preposterous!!

 

[slicktick]

i have to admit this is a good topic, maybe every trash can should have paper in it, and every trash bag so then you can open them up and knock them over so we can all play in the trash...

yeah...

*slicktick goes back to... doing something else*

Wonder if any of the weapons come with a melee option, a la CoD? Might come in handy when you don't have enough time to swap to the trusty crowbar.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

That's a good one Jez, i'd like to take a combines shoe off and beat him to death with it, ala Dal Preston Waynes World 2.

Can you do that? Just randomly pick up objects off the ground and use them as weapons you hold in your hand? Like a plank of wood with a nail through the end
