The Welder...

[ranmafan]

Has anyone actually tried talking to the resistance member welding something on a car just before you get out to destroy the autocannon? I just realized nobody ever talks about the underappreciated man who just wants to go to Hawaii.

Saw it. Just great. And of course if you break his beer bottle...

Beaches, babes and waves!

You know who to look for if you wanna go...

*raises hand*

I wonder if Hawaii in HL2 really is still a paradise...

I was just happy they had a welder outfit and everything. Welders ftw (including me)!

The guy outside there that's recovering from the chopper attack is good too.

I had missed this on my first play through - I guess I assumed he'd say the same default NPC lines.

Bulgaria.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Bulgaria.

By which he means a generic eastern european city.

 

[SpectreBlofeld]

Apparently one of the game's designers is from Sofia, Bulgaria - and I think it shows.

City streets...

And this is the Independence Monument in Sofia... it HAS to be the inspiration for Combine architecture.
