A rare MMOD enjoyer.

Tbh i thought everyone plays hl2 with mmod at this point, I've seen little to no one play vanilla hl2 anymore from what I've seen on my yt recommended list but that could just be me.

I wish I still lived in the reality where I never clicked this thread and never learned that the gas mask hole on the Combine helmets could be made into soyjaks.

From reading this thread, I assume you all think Barney is a better waifu then Alyx? I will agree he is funnier and probably tighter if you're into butt stuff

Now, I love Barney, but it's totally no homo. He's the dude who always gives me my crowbar.

I prefer the one that replaces Alyx's model with Zero Suit Samus. Something just works about it...

Samus

Barney reminds me of a better time when men could just be best friends in vidya without all the gay faggotry.

In regards to the original image - I can't imagine being a vietnamese/chinese sweatshop owners and seeing a BBC only flag or whatever the fuck. Fucking epic.

Just finished the mod Field Intensity and I must say it is quite good, voice acting is pretty bad but no xen levels, based on opposing force i believe so you get opposing force weapons, Pretty good levels felt like classic half life with higher production value given the tools modders have access to nowadays, the story is so so but its a fun sort of expansion if you will to half-life.

I couldn't really shake the classic feeling of "this sure is a mod that I'm playing" all throughout as compared to something like Echoes where it felt more "official" I guess? That's the best way I can put it. That ending was very disappointing, Echoes does the whole Nuke ending angle way better and it's final section also had the feeling that I knew that I was living on borrowed time and I probably wasn't going to make it out. FI I felt like I fought to Hell and back and wasn't rewarded for it. Maybe my expectations were too high. Overall though it was still pretty good.

Also Richter is a terrible voice actor. I could do better.

TL;DR He is very adamant that Valve is not doing an HLX ARG and that people are chasing their own tails.

Having played both demos, my vote going forward for which one is "better" is Interlude.

 

[Nguyen Van Phuoc]

Both are still better than Project Borealis, imagine spending 8 years to make five minutes of Ravenholm lmao

If HLX runs as badly on my Steam Deck as Project Borealis's five minute demo did then I may well commit a hatecrime. It should be a sin for games based on Valve properties to not run well on Valve Machines!
