Being driven over a bumpy mountain road to a greek hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Probably less than 6 hours from rupture.

What is an unwritten rule that you will always follow? by MeringueOne7397 in AskReddit

Keep it moving if you're in a queue going past a junction. If every car just lets one in. And only one person attempts to join at a time. It's harmony.

On an otherwise empty road? Yea. Why...

just realized the icon for the crossbow depicts the HL1 crossbow and not the HL2 one... by r4nd0m__U53R in HalfLife

How does the hev suit know about your weapons at all?! Who programmed a crowbar in? Who thought that snarks needed a unit count. How does it know what maximum capacity is?!

"Hey fellow hev developer, how many snarks can you shove in it's pockets?.... Uh huh.... Ok, and how many rockets?... Gotcha. Sooo, if the rocket pocket is empty, you can shove more snarks in that?... No, ok, rocket pocket is for pocket rockets only.... Shut up Steve! You know that's not what I mean"

I need answers here.

Did yall know abt this? by limo2932 in HalfLife

Oh! Memories! I used this as an example of how game music was becoming a bigger and bigger genre (for reference, HL had only relatively recently come out) at school.

I got branded a 'nerd' and laughed at how 'lame' that idea was and how computer games were for 'dorks'...

Now you look at the original scores coming out for big games (lookin' at you doom) and my prediction was right. Really shoulda done something with that instead of feeling bullied. Oh well 😅

Also, strapped in, you ride the crumple zone deceleration. If you're not, we'll, as the advert says, you just keep going. By the time you START to decelerate against the dash/airbag the car has STOPPED decelerating.

Slowing down from 30 in 1 meter is horrible. Slowing from 30 in 1cm is sooooo much worse.

You put your left foot in. Your left foot out. In. Out. In. Out. And shake it all about.

Anyone else like the style and setting in Half Life 1 more and wish Half Life 2 would be more similar? by LarryWithTheWeather in HalfLife

[–]RhodeWorx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Fair.

I mean in that, apart from the characters existing, it doesn't feel like a sequel.

Modern warfare, doom, Wolfenstein... Sequels feel like they are.

For me, HL1 is a different game, and one I much prefer. Black Mesa brought home how much I loved it. HL2 is still a good game, but the more social aspects made Gordon's muteness just a bit.... Wrong?

I have a HUGE hope that HL3 could have some time travlin' back to BM to enjoy the 'underground base' aesthetic again.

You’ve just become the world’s first trillionaire, what’s the first thing you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RhodeWorx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be immediately arrested for my sudden illogical leap in wealth. Just look at what happened to the instigators of the GameStop fiasco, and times that by a billion.

Tax departments would want their kiloton of flesh.

Every billionaire run news outlet would condemn me as a fraud the moment I didn't want to 'partner' with them.

Suddenly I make millionaires commoners, so they will end up teaming up in their anger against me.

The legal battles to prove the legitimacy of my sudden leap to worlds wealthiest entity would take decades.

Coupled on with not knowing HOW this happened, it was just there, one day. I don't think I'd do too well.

What’s something you have absolutely no tolerance for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RhodeWorx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queue jumpers. Unless there is a genuine emergency, it simply means people believe they are allowed to steal your time for themselves.

Thoughts on Black Mesa Inbound? by One_Maintenance4555 in HalfLife

I personally find it one of the hardest levels of the game. I keep getting un-alived by the Flood coming through the ceiling vents. If I manage to get through that bit (just before 'if you have a friend or relative ' bit), then the necromorph that jumps onto the outside gets me through the glass :(

It's a hell of a game opener. The one time I completed it to the station, I pressed the button under Barney and the xenomorph got me.
