They're hard to hit with the crowbar, a waste of ammo to hit with anything else, but they serve their purpose. Maaaaaaan, I hate these little bastards, though in a good way. You know, the one with that goofy TV comedy guy in it and the spaceships. Though I suppose it could always be the type that folds out around the guy's head using sci-fi magic when he needs it, just like in that movie. No seriously, ignore the loading screen art you saw earlier and his cameo in Blue Shift Gordon has to be wearing a helmet, or else all that radiation protection in the suit would be pointless.

suit does come with a helmet though, which is handy for surviving a direct headcrab to the face. It's taken me two games and a bunch of episodes, but I've finally met people who don't know who Gordon Freeman is! The two of them finally notice that I'm wearing hazardous environment suit and volunteer me for the job, which isn't exactly unusual for Half-Life, but in this they refer to me 'this guy' and that's incredible. but the automatic controls on the radio antenna are broken and we can't get through to activate it manually because it's not safe (there's been a radiation leak). You'd think that in a room full of all these buttons and switches they'd reserve at least one of them for the very important task of getting the door open, and it turns out they did! We can actually send out the 'it's all safe, no radiation leak here' message from here. Hey it turns out that there's a bit of a plot in this demo, with unique recorded dialogue too! My two new friends and I are stuck here in this room until we can get the reactor door open, and we can't do that until we get a message to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission to tell them the coast is clear. It's also the first Valve developed content I ever played, which is fitting because today is the 10th anniversary of my Steam account! like Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Decay.īut there's also Half-Life: Uplink, a demo released in early 1999 featuring a modified version of levels cut from the actual game, which happens to be the first Half-Life content I ever played. My friend mecha-neko wrote up his opinions on the authentic original version of Half-Lifea couple of years back, and then I took a look at the fan made remake Black Mesa a few months later, but there's Half-Life content that neither of us have looked at yet. Hello and welcome to Super Adventures in Gaming, the site that just can't stop putting up articles about Half-Life.

It's so weird seeing the original, un-Steamed title screen again though after all these years. That's a nice effect, but if you stare at the ' H A L F - L I F E' text bouncing from left and right in the background long enough it starts looking kinda dopey.
