When in the after-credits stinger you started kicking the headcrab again, and again, and again, and just kept going, I swear it took me a lot of effort to not soil myself from laughter.
There is nothing, nothing, more satisfying than managing to finally turn the tables in a game that likes to trap you in inescapable hit-reaction loops, and exploit that bullshit mechanic for yourself. The time I managed to beat the ghost pirate back into a corner and then whale on him without him able to get a single strike in in Alone in the Dark is probably my own personal crowning moment of glory; that smugly chuckling bastard's nigh unbeatable otherwise, even if you do have the one-and-only weapon in the entire game that's actually capable of damaging him at all.
Clunky and frustrating though the Old Ways were, however, I just have to say this: I like tank controls.
