what giant half life event? Anyway, I dont think so. Ross doesnt really have influence on when the videos are released (exactly). He uploades them to machinima, they wait a random amount of time and then they put the video up on youtube.

what vortex thing?

I always thought this to be intentioned...

Episode 4 when he gets out of the testchamber... *activates door* *access denied* "Hah! Yeah very funny, come on door open up! Dammit what a tease! I already made it through this THICK-ASS BLAST DOORS, which that guy DIED for, just to be stopped by this USELESS SECOND DOOR! THIS IS BULLSHIT! I AM CAPTAIN GORDON FREEMAN OF THE INTERGALACTIC HOUSE OF PANCAKES, ORDERING YOU TO OPEN!" When I first watched this, I laughed so hard, that I had to stop the video, because I couldn't follow it anymore^^ And I still quote parts of it (in my mind) in various situations^^

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the particle-wave duality (which episode was this in again?). However, I don't think elecricity can be in partice or wave form, since it's just energy (but I'm no expert on this...)

The videos were probably upscaled (+enhanced) by the PS3...you can do that with a PC, too, you just have to use the right programs/settings That's so useless^^ But still kinda cool

I watch everything on my TV via my HTPC...in fact im writing this post using my HTPC+TV

You're right, i wasnt thinking about fast headcrabs. They really kinda look like spiders. But the normal headcrabs look more like a walking brain IMO

wtf? what kind of spiders do you have in New Zealand? ^^ Headcrabs have a big body (compared to their legs) and they are "meaty". Spiders have a relatively small body with long thin legs

I think we're going in circles here...

Why not? Just because he doesnt sound or look like Kleiner in HL2? Jesus Christ, it's a GAME: Kleiner has no important role in HL1 --> he doesn't get a unique model / voice. He has an important role in HL2 --> he gets a unique model / voice.

Exactly. I just traveled back in time to 1998 and called Valve to ask who of the guys is Kleiner. They said: "Who the fuck is Dr. Kleiner? There is no Dr. Kleiner in Half Life." So obviously, Kleiner was edited into the storyline during the development of HL2 and therefore nobody could really tell who Kleiner is or if Gordon even meets him in HL1. case closed

Why would Dr. Kleiner be armed? And why would Gordon want to do Kleiner?

I already thought of doing that

Hope this topic is ok is this subforum....anyway: have you seen this? (if there's already a topic and I was just to blind to see it, just close here) Cool video, but what really made me laugh was that last scene...I think this is EXACTLY how Ross' Freeman would have reacted

Are you fucking kidding me? You can't tell me they didn't get that idea from the game postal @topic: maybe he just watched some movies with killermuppets when he was a kid...

I was a fan of this show even before it existed! No, seriously...since episode 13 i think, so something over 2 years.

I think the video editing aswell as the first auto editing is done by Ross. The second audioediting (audiofx, volumelevels, ...) used to be done by Otto Beumelburg (dont know if he still does it). The last videos didn't have any credits at the end, so we can't really know who's working on the latest videos (besides Ross of course)

Yes, I do this all the time When I was standing at the top of a relatively steep trail (with my bike) I thought "Con: I might starve down there where no one will ever find me...pro: this could be fun as hell...ok I'm gonna do it" Or when I play games/watch movies and someone is shooting: "Whow gunshots! Where there's a gun there's fun...or not" And yesterday when I played Dead Island and I was walking through the sewers: "Follow the dead body road, follow the dead body road, folllow, follow, fo...damn that's a lot of blood!" So yes, I'm kinda crazy^^

I think he would freak out at first, but then he'll totally like DOG. His reaction to dog's fight withe the strider would be cool, too "10 bucks on the Robot!" "Come on dog tear this fucker apart! YES! BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THIS THING"

Mh, I played HL2 with CM9 (or something like that) once. I liked the HighRes textures, but not the models and the music. Actually the music wasn't bad at all, but it didn't sound like HL2 anymore (too epic/instrumental and always the same). And the models? The women looked like supermodels who just spend 3 hours in front of a mirror putting on makeup... I mean it's a post-apocalyptic world and not a fashion show, right? @Vincent Steinkopf: I think you should put another image in your signature. I just have to scroll 2 times to get past it, so it's obviously not high enough!

I guess if he wouldnt enjoy making FM (or would even hate it) he would't do it.

Ich bin mir eigentlich zu 99% sicher, dass da keine Kommas hingehören. Zu dem "Now, now" : Du hast Recht, bei den englischen Untertiteln steht auch "Now, now" und nicht "no, no". Wörtlich übersetzt macht das aber im Deutschen keinen Sinn. Ich habe mir gerade nochmal angehört was der Wissenschaftler in der detschen Half-Life Version sagt. Da sagt er "Was solls? Wenn Sie..." ("So what?/What the hell! If you follow..."). Ich ändere meine Untertitel mal entsprechend. Valve wird wohl am Besten wissen wie das gemeint ist

Exactly. If you dont believe it play it with developers commentary. And if you played HL2 and EP1, you should have noticed that Lost Coast doesn't fit anywhere between this two games (@Maxbun). @topic: I don't think Ross will or should do Lost Coast, because it just isn't really part of HL2. It's been a while since I played it, but there isn't even a real end/exit, right? edit: ok I just watched it on youtube...there is kind of an end...

It's been a while since I played HL or HL:OpFor so I don't know exactly what you mean. But I'd say Xen is similar to our world: we have very different areas, too (dessert <--> rainforest). So it could be the same on/in/at/wtf Xen
