OAR

[QUOTE=MatheusMCardoso;39051132]Which chapter is this?[/QUOTE] On the Rails or something like that. The fucking military assholes suck.

I think I'm the only person that actually liked On a Rail. Either way, I chuckled when I found out that the soldiers can't spell yore.

You know actually, what if Gabe has been waiting to release episode 3/HL3 in 2013 because of the fact it ends in three, and that it would fit the name or w/e

[QUOTE=Crash15;39052118]You know actually, what if Gabe has been waiting to release episode 3/HL3 in 2013 because of the fact it ends in three, and that it would fit the name or w/e[/QUOTE] that's silly

maybe hes waiting for 2333 since it has three 3s!!!! no please announce ep3 this year gabe i mean we had a chance of dying on the 21st before finishing the story arc [sp]granted it was an extremely slim chance[/sp]

I would have thought that there would be worse things on deviant art. Particularly sexual interactions involving Barnacles Headcrabs zombie claws Zombie open wounded torsos antlions with dicks. bullsquid. vorts and their third hand and giant eyes (this one would be particularly shocking)

i would like to see antlions with di- ..imples im not homo

[QUOTE=Magmacow358;39051806]I think I'm the only person that actually liked On a Rail. Either way, I chuckled when I found out that the soldiers can't spell yore.[/QUOTE] There must be more like you. Over in the Black Mesa mod thread, there's people cheering the effort to add the full chapter back into it.

[QUOTE=Crash15;39052118]You know actually, what if Gabe has been waiting to release episode 3/HL3 in 2013 because of the fact it ends in three, and that it would fit the name or w/e[/QUOTE] No, hes waiting for the 33rd day of march to release it silly.

I liked OaR too. I never really got why people were confused by it. Was it the presence of a loop?

Also, [sub]little[/sub] bit of news of the status of Obsidian Conflict in case anyone was wondering. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/obsidianconflict/discussions/0/864948030061479719/#c828925849413852256[/url]

[QUOTE=Lexic;39054109]I liked OaR too. I never really got why people were confused by it. Was it the presence of a loop?[/QUOTE] I don't really hate it. It's just that the rails can be kinda annoying sometimes and I feel like I get more stuck in this chapter then the others.

This has probably been discussed before, but why are there no Fast Zombines or Poison Zombines?

How do people get stuck in On a Rail? The only annoying part for me was the slowly raising elevator surrounded by soldiers, and that was easy enough once I saw the ladder up the side

[QUOTE=supersoldier58;39054363]This has probably been discussed before, but why are there no Fast Zombines or Poison Zombines?[/QUOTE] what makes the fast zombies fast is their complete lack of anything to slow them down — including muscles (somehow). they're little more than skeletons. as for poison zombines, maybe the metabolism of the earth combine soldiers can't sustain whatever poison zombines use to breed inside the host's body (it's what makes them bloated i believe)

In the original Half-Life, we see those organisms introduced to earth's environment. In Half-Life 2, some 20 years later, those creatures have evolved. I wonder why we see no Gonarchs in Half-Life 2?

The combine probably haven't allowed a headcrab to reach that stage of its life. There is the remote possibility that there maybe a wild Gonarch outside of the Combine's control, but we don't know for certain. Though in the beta evidently the Combine used a Gonarch sack to produce headcrabs for shelling.

Apparently the Combine use Gonarches as a method to create Headcrabs for their canisters (At least that was the plan in the HL2 beta). So they would probably diminish the population. Also I think that Poison Headcrabs and Fast Headcrabs were genetically modified Headcrabs created by the Combine, and the Combine also modified normal Headcrabs not to grow into Gonarches as they would cause obvious problems. What I find strange is how Headcrabs were already adapted to latch on to Human heads, unless they were already adapted to latch on to Vortigaunt heads (very likely) and Humans and Vortigaunts have a more similar physiology than we think. But if this is the case where are all the Vortigaunt Zombies, which should exist. So many questions.......

what is the next step in evolution after the gonome?

[QUOTE=Griffster26;39055468]what is the next step in evolution after the gonome?[/QUOTE] Something horrifying.

2013, will this be the year where we will see anything just a tiny bit of info on hl3/episode3's status? Personally i hope so, it's been far far too long without anything new regarding half life universe, 2007 is long ago already.
