Nahhh this mf had a whole ass PHD while I am STILL struggling with ONE college degree that was supposed to take six semesters since 2017!! Altho I had 3 whole years where classes were suspended (thanks to the Plague 19000), so technically I've only been at it for five years... BUT STILL!!
GORDON GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR LEARNING POWERS! I BEG OF YOU! I CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THIS WASHED AT STUDYING!!
I remember an ad for Half-Life that was like "Most shooters just have you run and shoot, but Half-Life will make you think."
It did not. The puzzles weren't anything a toddler couldnt solve in 2 seconds, there are barely any of them anyway, and most of the game is just running and shooting.
Also the bit really near the start where you ride a lift up and headcrabs with janky hotboxes rain down on Gordon being easily the hardest part of the entire game.
Drag got stuck in Black Mesa at the reception area. It looks like the way forward is through the big doorway, but it's actually through the tiny vent drag didn't notice for 20 minutes

If you're an American, that's the year they bailed out the banks and stopped even pretending to give a shit about our futures.

Gordon is so based, achieving high level education to achieving the biggest successful coup from an inter dimensional alien race

He’s only 27!? I’ve never paid that much attention to the details of these games so I just always assumed he was in his 40s.

He was the new guy, straight out of MIT, lowest on the totem pole. That's why he was the one shoving that crystal into the gigantic laser.

Good job Gordon, pressing right click and all, I can see your M.I.T. education really pays off.

I haven't played half life. Isn't the point to make you think more about the story than about the challenge of the game?

Right click shotgun fired two shells? Or am I misremembering. It was awesome during the prison level. Nova Prospekt?

Yeah, that's what that did because Valve thought the tube under the barrel was.. another barrel, for some reason.
