I would simply sue them until they complied with OSHA. Safety is everyones responsibility.

that wouldn't work because black mesa is a black site you numbnuts, you would commit suicide after your first complaint.
if you are not a high-level clearance you are supposed to be ventilated in order to keep a secret whatever happened in there, so much so the military shift their entire focus to kill freeman because he was the monkeywrench in their plans of cleaning up black mesa until shit hits the fan and they have to forget about freeman as they will n-word the place.

Could you survive Black Mesa? I could, I would simply avoid all the monsters and calmly exit the facility.

I'd probably slice all the monsters and soldiers with my katana while doing backflips and somersaults in my black trench coat.

Someone ported Half Life 2 back to Quake engine.

which leads you right into the military's hands where they will promptly dome you, because no way in hell they aren't guarding all the remaining entrances that haven't been destroyed, by their hands or the xenians.

Also, even IF you escape you better bet the glowies are coming once you leave. So you'd better apply for asylum in a neighboring country. I imagine that's why Eli and Kleiner are in Europe before HL2.

The US in universe is completely uninhabitable because of nuclear Fallout caused by the seven hour war and the Xen infestation so I'm pretty sure they either fled because of that or G-Man just teleported them there.

Shat happened to that 197 thing from the Mike Shapiro tweet?

Something about it being July 19th? Obviously didn't come true. Heard some schizo ramblings about the painting being 26/7 instead but I'm not holding my breath. I really don't see someone like Mike Shapiro being the guy to tell us the release date/announcement date. I understand the plan with Alyx wasn't to announce it out of the blu(e) like what ended up happening but I don't know, outside of TGA I can't really think of a place to announce it.

Only options I see:
A. Schizo ramblings are true and its the 26th.
B. I remember seeing something about a VG event in august, can't remember the exact dates.
C. Game Awards. (lmao can't wait to get baited again, thanks Geoff)
D. Some random day in November.
E. January 1st, 2026 so I lose the bet I made with my brother (I wagered 10 dollars the game would be announced this year)

Always remember: "It'll be out when its out, and we like that"
What I wanna know is: what happened to the Raising the Bar reprints?

My theory is that they will go live with the announcement of HL3. Would be fitting if they add Episode 3 stuff.

This is what I was thinking, maybe they'll even go the extra mile and do the entire series post HL2 with the Episodes, Perhaps even Alyx or 3 are included.

Calling it now it ends up being the artbook portion of a deluxe edition preorder.
