I'm actually really curious to see what these corrupted viewmodels look like in motion

[QUOTE=RenaFox;48088218]I'm actually really curious to see what these corrupted viewmodels look like in motion[/QUOTE] They jiggle around as you might imagine.

[QUOTE=vexx21322;48088526]They jiggle around as you might imagine.[/QUOTE] I've heard this before.

[QUOTE=ironman17;48056451]True that, since a lot of us were hooked on Freeman's Mind and Ross Scott's voice has become the headcanon voice for Gordon Freeman for a fair few people. To the point where if HL3 has Gordon voice-acted, it would kinda make sense to have Ross voice him since that's how a fair amount of the fans think he'd sound like, even if it was just him with an internal monologue. It makes me wonder, would there be many games with a previously silent protagonist that would benefit from having someone voice-acting their inner monologue?[/QUOTE]I liked how Freeman's Mind portrayed the character, but besides that, I feel like tying the series into 'canon' would be tacky.

A day without a post. Half Life is truly dead :suicide: I was watching a movie just now, called Two shades of blue, came out in 1999, and noticed that it has some samples that Kelly used in his hl1 soundtrack (Dark piano short and Adrenaline horror). I know it's a common thing, but still. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCfyAHGvzK4p[/media]

Finally, after years of searching, I've managed to bring together the legendary triumvirate: [t]http://i.imgur.com/SFCWJhZ.jpg[/t] And not a moment too soon! I'd been waiting forever to create the perfect stand for my beloved Call of Duty collection: [t]http://i.imgur.com/KLmFhze.jpg[/t]

I actually don't remember what HL2 box I had. I think the Gordon one.

And for those of us with less vocabularic knowledge, [img]http://i.imgur.com/uHvuDjI.jpg[/img]

I had the black and large collector's edition box that game with CS:S, HL:S, and a Half-Life 2 logo t-shirt. It still bothers me to look at it and see the beta screenshots even on the back of that box.

Still WIP, just would like some thoughts on it. As usual, all made in-Hammer (well, except for the frozen particles :P). The particles are placed in frozen, it's not the NPC shooting.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;48146263]im reminded just how god awful the blood particles looked in the hl2 episodes[/QUOTE] [img]http://webnv.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/half-life-2-episode-2-6.jpg[/img] still hilarious to this day

[QUOTE=Hell-met;48146954][img]http://webnv.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/half-life-2-episode-2-6.jpg[/img] still hilarious to this day[/QUOTE] I always thought that looked cool, the blood makes G-Man look even more sinister.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;48146263]im reminded just how god awful the blood particles looked in the hl2 episodes[/QUOTE] Actually, I don´t remember the ones from original HL2? Was it better?

[QUOTE=MR.sugar;48149171]Actually, I don´t remember the ones from original HL2? Was it better?[/QUOTE] there either were nothing or little cloud mists. it was better back then. [i]like everything else[/i]

Am I just not real a Half-Life fan if I'm not angry at everything that's happened with the series in the last 10 years?

[QUOTE=artDecor;48151521]Am I just not real a Half-Life fan if I'm not angry at everything that's happened with the series in the last 10 years?[/QUOTE] No, I'd say you're just a calm and reasonable person for knowing the world doesn't bend to your will. Sadly the joy of episode two for me was some 6 years ago, I've gone through high school and started college. My life and tastes have moved on and I barely play Valve games anymore. If Half Life 3 comes out then that's great and you bet I'll buy it but I've got other things to keep up with.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;48149968]there either were nothing or little cloud mists. it was better back then. [i]like everything else[/i][/QUOTE] It was pretty much the same.

Sooo, Ted Backman just left Valve? [url]https://www.facebook.com/ted.backman.5/timeline/story?ut=32&wstart=-2051193600&wend=2147483647&hash=10153425107909568[/url] Well, he left Valve in May, so I guess it's a shower o'clocks

[QUOTE=artDecor;48151521]Am I just not real a Half-Life fan if I'm not angry at everything that's happened with the series in the last 10 years?[/QUOTE] but nothing happened

[QUOTE=Hell-met;48152915]but nothing happened[/QUOTE] Episode 1 and 2 say hi.

[QUOTE=Mech Bgum;48154527]We got Breen fanfic by Laidlaw and we also got pictures of Alyx in ushanka.[/QUOTE] is it a fanfic if it's made by the writer of the original thing

He is mainly an concept artist, and if this is true, then maybe his work on current game was come to end. There are STILL many different artists on Valve so don't panic.

[QUOTE=Pigbear;48154609]is it a fanfic if it's made by the writer of the original thing[/QUOTE] Its not canon and he's a fan of it.
