Upon wearing the ring, an orange armor formed around and the mystical crowbar appeared in your hand. The head crabs poured from the sky and your adventure began....

Went over to a friends place and watched him play.... "I think you dropped this at Black Mesa"
oh god and the graphics....~~~
LAMAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same, but I think the IMPLIED story (also there are some newspaper headlines pinned on a board in Eli's lab to this effect) is that the Xen aliens continued their attack.... somehow... even though the Nhialith was killed, and humanity is now basically the aliens' ****. Hence Alex, Eli, Barney e.t.c are the resistance.
BIGTIME.
The area after it, with the buggy: Remember the forcefield WAAAAY down there? How do I power that down so I can get my buggy back into use?

Which force field, i have been through 3 (i think) so far. One is connected to an APC which you pull the blocks out from under the wheels, anohter you have to bounce underneath the bridge to the cotrol room. Can't remember the other.

Nevermind, I got past it before I checked back here, it was the blocks one.
DAMN THIS GAME IS FUN.
<span style='color:#031D1F'> I'm in the "Sandtrap" chapter, "do not touch the ground" beach, and I just activated one, and I have no clue what it does and why I should turn it off. On the buggy beach I turned them all OFF, so...</span>
this is a spoiler thread so I'm not going to bother with invisible text but that part confused me a little too. They're supposed to keep the antlions away So I figured once I'd turned it on I could walk on the sand right? wrong! of course later when you're using bugbaits the antlions stay away from them but that part seemed weird to me. Maybe I didn't use it effectively. Just think of them as the thumpers from dune only in reverse.
/places last sentry gun
I find it no coincidence that this was the speech made before my fifth and successful stand at the Alamo.
As far as I can figure, the GMan is an extradimensional entity who's using you to turn a profit. He'll bring you in and drop you off, and you save the day. During interim periods, he keeps you locked in blackness.
With the spoilers at the end of HL2 (your contract is up to the highest bidder, comments by the gman about how his services are extremely valuable) I can only suppose that in HL3, you'll be fighting for the Xen Invaders.
Oh, and on an off note, the hyper-charged Gravgun is LOADS of fun... spent a good while just standing around, beating people against walls. It was great. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Was anyone else developing a wee lil' soft spot for the main characters?
I can now say, without a doubt, that when Half-Life 3 comes out (and it will!) it will not only raise the bar again, it will take the bar and beat every other game on the market, past, present, and future to death with said bar.
And then use the bar to mombo.
**EDIT** The Rattlesnake Headcraps (shivers)
By the way, has anyone figured how much time has passed since the Black Mesa incident? I have been looking and looking and can't find ANYTHING!
I was screaming at my video card for about 5 seconds before I finally figured out what was going on.
Oh - and if you see Dr. Breen, tell him I said Fu.... ou! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
