I played through Half Life 1 and 2 and all the episodes earlier this year. Still great games.
Though the part about gamers creaming themselves at cardboard box physics is so true, I remember the hype surrounding HL2's physics and seesaw puzzles :v: such a simple time.
I would totally buy a shirt that says 'eat science'.

He really liked Portal 2 for some reason

Why shouldn't he, it's an excellent game.
To be fair he liked Portal 1 better.
Also, for me Half-Life is for the most part one of the main games that got me into hardcore gaming, and was part of a long chain of events that brought me to Facepunch; first there were the original Half-Life games (expansions included), then I bought Half-Life 2 and obtained my Steam account, then I got Garry's Mod version 8, back before it became a paid release when it evolved to version 10, and through that I ended up joining the forum. Here I am many years later as a dedicated hardcore PC gamer, so I guess Half-Life is responsible for making me what I am today. Without it I probably would have become a dedicated consolite and, in a horrifying twist, became addicted to Call of Duty.
From what I can see he pretty much likes every Valve game available.
Would be neat if they updated the steam store page

The notion that he hates all games is misleading. There's a good number of games across several genres he enjoys for mostly clearly stated reasons. Half-Life, Portal, Just Cause 2, Shadow of the Colossus, ICO, Silent Hill 2, Painkiller, Saints Row 2, Driver: San Francisco and Psychonauts, just to mention the ones I know.
There's also a decent stack of games that he reviewed arguably in favor such as Amnesia, Left 4 Dead, Prototype, Spec Ops: The Line, Resident Evil 4, Batman Arkham Asylum and Skyrim.
Didn't he like Sands of Time as well?

It's like the second coming of Christ to him, I think.

I do recall once he said "I promised I wouldn't suck that cock any harder otherwise it's gonna drop off" in regards to referencing Sands of Time.
I know he said he liked Halo Reach. And I think he has said many times he likes most games but the last time he made a truly positive review (Psychonauts) no one liked it so he just plays the "fuck you" card.
