I think they look more like Mortimer to me, but what are you gonna do?

No matter how many times I see real-life riot masks I cannot get over how much they resemble Mickey Mouse.

frankly that just increases the fascist terror for me

It keeps calling me Gordon Freeman but I'm NOT Gordon Freeman because Gordon Freeman is the name of a person, whereas I am an invisible murder cube.

I'm not positive about this, but I believe there are two achievements that were added to Half-Life 2: Submissive and Defiant. One requires you to put the can in the trash, the other requires you to bounce the can off the cop's head.

The thing is, once you get one of them, you can't get the other one ever. You can still get 100% completion, however, since the achievement you didn't get won't show up on your list and won't count toward your total. Still, I don't think it's something I've seen done in achievements before.

Well now I feel like a chump for taking orders from The Man.

What happens if you angle the shot perfectly so the can bounces off the cop's head into the trash?

So for some reason I've encountered a bug in the chapter Entanglement where, after teleporting into Kleiner's lab, I'm stuck behind Alyx with no means of getting out and progressing. Curious.

Brentai · « **Reply #348 on:** June 01, 2010, 09:13:59 AM »

Checked the Steam forums; five other reports of this bug since the patch. Suiciding a bunch of times seems to help.

Eeyup.

It's too bad. Follow Freeman is right after this part, and that shit fucking rocks out loud.

Detonator · « **Reply #350 on:** June 01, 2010, 10:23:42 AM »

Happened to me, fixed it by restarting HL2 and reloading to the part where you teleport in.

Bal · « **Reply #351 on:** June 01, 2010, 03:41:58 PM »

I had to reload a few times during that sequence to get the whole thing to play out properly. Alyx's scripting would break at various points, but I've finished the game now, and that was the only hiccup. Otherwise, still a classic, with slightly remixed difficulty due to better AI on the combine, but otherwise unchanged.

I think you're mistaken, seeing as I have both. Though honestly, I would have preferred your way. http://steamcommunity.com/id/Raiyen/stats/HL2?tab=achievements

Also, is it just me or is getting that basket with D0g's ball the most random goddamn thing in the world?

Detonator · « **Reply #353 on:** June 02, 2010, 05:23:39 AM »

That's my mistake then, I didn't actually test my theory. It's still strange that the achievement doesn't appear on the list until you actually get it.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #354 on:** June 02, 2010, 05:39:24 AM »

No, it isn't that strange.

Bal · « **Reply #355 on:** June 04, 2010, 05:55:48 PM »

Latest patch fixed the Alyx glitch I mentioned.

Pigs fly.

The first part of Black Mesa is coming out in ten and a half days. They've managed to make Half-Life 1: Episode One.

Smiler · « **Reply #357 on:** September 03, 2012, 05:13:03 PM »

On the one hand, its half done. On the other hand, it doesn't have Xen in it. We will be getting the shitty part of the game in about 8 years.

Gordon is caught in a time loop, first game remakes are actually the continuation of the story and in the last episodes we start to see differences as Gordon fights against the Gman.

Just calling it now, in case.

JDigital · « **Reply #359 on:** September 04, 2012, 02:49:29 AM »

Can't you get both the "pick up the can" achievements by playing the game twice or re-loading after you get one?

The achievement for squishing all the grubs in Episode 1 is annoying. You have to get them all in one play-through. I think the lambda cache achievement for picking up all the crates works the same way.
