Show me where the engine connects to the axel in the buggy and I will change what I said. I know how rear wheel rear engine works in real life.

351: Regardless of what you have heard, you do not actually need seatbelts.

33123139: half-life fans aren’t funny, not even after 351 tries.

  1. Hanging out with garden gnomes and putting them in rockets is totally fun


Ok, maybe not rear wheel, rear engine, but you get my point. Focus on the more obvious;
353: You can aim and fire a Tau Canon while driving a stick shift.
354: You can drive a stick-shift without a clutch.
355: a Tau Canon or Machine gun can be aimed with no handles or moving parts.
356: You can’t a flashlight on and be in a vehicle at the same time.

Random number here: You can make someone appear by freezing time and saying npc create (persons name)

33123140: Irony

358: Highly sophisticated aliens can’t see a hanging barnacle tongue if it’s meters from their faces.
359. WHATEVER YOU DO. DON’T. STEP. ON. THE. SAND.

Well, I stand corrected, thanks. I don’t know how I missed that…
In all fairness, I have eaten my words and edited my post above.

Half life 2 doesn’t take place in the US.

Where does it take place? I know the architecture is from Eastern Europe. But why would former BM employees move from the US to (let’s just say) Ukraine?

By the text on some buildings, I would guess it’s somwhere in the old Soviet.

Because of the devastating results of a worldwide invasion by a superior alien force, maybe?

Yeah they moved to the cities for protection from Xen species in the wasteland. America has cities to, why move to Europe? Yet another gap in the Half Life continuum…

Because of the devastating results of a worldwide invasion by a superior alien force that probably destroyed most US cities, maybe?

Or because eastern Europe was a more interesting setting for the game.

Maybe

Or because america sucks.

This thread is definitely for you.
