I found that Username "cjohnson" and password "tier3", but the website ALWAYS gives me a wrong password statement. So I gave up trying.

works for me. i completed ep2, and they included aperture science in the hl2 story as well. Im not sure exactly wtf is going on, but from what i gather ep3 will take place on a boat that went awol like the Philadelphia experiment.

:up: :up:

Man that sounds amazing, I was always fascinated with the real life Philadelphia incident / experiment. Now I truly can not wait fro EP3, and I see what they are hinting at, and how the Xen came trough, in the first place. Black Mesa competing with Aperture Science for portal / teleporter technology, as seen in one of Portal's conference room, after you go "ghost in the system" on the 19th test.

The Half Life series have the potential to go down as the best single player game event in history.

I found myself laughing during quite a few scenes throughout Ep2 and especially Portal. Nice to see the lighter side of gaming.
"Be adequate" hahaa

And the part where Magnusson mentions the casserole was a nice shout out to long time fans.

The game had been sitting on the title screen for a bit and I caught the middle to end of the left 4 dead trailer that they have playing on there. Was a bit confused at first trying to figure out where in the hell the scenes they were showing fit into the HL2 storyline...

Where is this trailer? How do you get to it exactly?

I just let the game sit at the title screen (game selection screen) for awhile and eventually the trailer starts up.

No, i mean when you turn the game on just let it sit at the screen where you can choose which game you want to play. Don't touch anything. For me it first showed a demo of all the different games, then went back ot the title screen, then showed the left 4 dead trailer.

Left For Dead looks fucking awesome.

Just cant decide what platform I want it on... PC, so it looks better and I can control it nicer, or 360, where I can talk to team mates because VoIP isn't a bag of shite...

AH you are using the XBox 360 CD, tnf. I was thinking it was on the PC.

Ever notice how those "portal computers" in Portal look like xbox 360's ?
And how they use the heat sink to cook food?

Well if the VoIP is as good in Left 4 Dead as in TF2, I don't think you'll have anything to worry about.

I like the look of Left 4 Dead too, but it's just a shame they're going with 28 Days Later style enemies as opposed to traditional zombies.

k, if I haven't played any of the Half-Life games before, will I be missing out on the story? Should I go shell out a little more cash for HL2? I don't think HL1 is compatible w/ 360.

It comes with hl2 and ep1.

You definitely need to play Half Life 2 before any of the episodes, and the Orange Box comes with HL2 and all of the episodes so far.

However, I seriously recommend you play the original Half Life, it's the one that started it all, and forms the foundation of the entire storyline. And still to this day, it has one of the best single player experiences.

The original Half Life is only 814 Mb :ninja: :paranoid:

I actually enjoyed the original HL SP, but couldn't get into it for multiplayer, and consequently never played any of the later ones.

indeed, play HL-1 and get the story line down, and by then you will be so hooked, you will do HL-2/ep1/2 no problem.

Tried TF2 for the first time tonight. Pretty fun, I still have a real hard time getting adjusted to multiplayer games with the gamepad rather than mouse and kb because everything just feels slower in terms of responsiveness. Also tried Halo3 multi for the first time tonight. I enjoyed rocket slayer or whatever its called, but damn I wish you could make it so the gun isn't shown on screen. Cuts all of your peripheral vision to the right off.
