1:33:16Man, the nostalgia is hitting me hard. I can remember this train section UGHHH
1:33:20And yeah, this whole cinematic run-in was unheard-of. Most video game stories were a paragraph in the manual about Biff McMuscles being sent to Mars to fight MechaHitler's mantis ninja army.
1:33:27yeah... that happens sometimes :grinning_squinting_face:
1:33:35she's gonna hate half life 2
1:33:38this game is always pretty loud
1:33:42Half-Life is more atmospheric than most other shooters
1:33:43HL1 intro sequence is legendary
1:33:52Doom 3 would take after this game heavily.
1:33:58Sorry HL2, I still like HL1 more.
1:34:10Oh right, in case nobody mentioned: This game has NO tutorials. It has a SEPARATED tutorial mode, the "Hazard Course". I would recommend playing it first.
1:34:11i forgot gordon freeman was only 27 at the start of this game
1:34:17I wasn't when I played it...
1:34:17I'm older by over a decade lol
1:34:19Also novel: the protagonist isn't Biff McMuscles. He has a PhD in theoretical physics.
1:34:21:expressionless_face: by 13 years
1:34:28I'm older than him in this game, but not as of today
1:34:32I wont lie, I jump around like a cricket during this section
1:34:39He's got a doctorate in theoretical physics, so yeah his family's probably rich
1:34:39mario is 28 according to nintendo
