What I've learned from Half Life 2

[marshmallow]

This is usually done for books/movies, but hey...

1. A ragtag band of civilains can overwhelm a massive alien invasion, as long as someone litters the path with well placed explosive barrels. Otherwise, you're screwed.

2. A ragtag band of scientists that barely have any equipment can construct and maintain a teleportation system, all the while knowing more about teleportation in general than the advanced aliens.

3. Although the combine know how to construct a tower that might as well be a mile high and teleport it across the universe, their weaponry, armor, and tactics can all be nulled out by an HEV suit (which they have nothing close to).

4. The Combine have skeleton keys that unlock any and all doors, so they get really mad when they lose them.

5. There's nothing wrong with using deux ex machina twice in a single short time period (can anyone spot them?).

6. Headcrabs are strong enough to rocket thousands of feet into the air and then come crashing into the earth inside a steel container without any harm. Of course, a single whack with a crowbar is deadly.

Yes, it's very light humor and yes, of course, it's just a game. Feel free to add your own.

7. When you're humanities greatest hope for the future, no one will tell you wtf is going on.

8. Collaspsing a mile high tower in the middle of a city and killing everyone with the school bus sized chunks of debris that are falling at 100 something miles an hour is considered "saving the city"

9. You save the world again and you don't know where you been, what you have done, and where your going.

Well... one deus ex is in the end, when the G-man stops time. But it fits into the scheme of things. It's the G-man, after all. I can't come up with another one, right now.

I considered the other when you became trapped in the energy field that took away (vaporized?) your weapons but that's OK, the gravity gun breaks the field AND becomes a God Gun!

that shouldnt really count because they could've just made it where you kept all your weapons, the thing with the huge explosion though.. how else could they get you out alive? it hink you could consider that one..

Except that doesn't actually happen, does it?
