About Kleiner's Injury...

@sersoft

I bet it escaped and he caught a new one called it lamarr and I bet we’ll see that happen again in episode 3.

And it happens again and again, until the universe collapses.

No problem, we’ll just flee to Xen.

just wondering how did Eli lose his leg? on topic there scientist for all we know kliener panicked and is to scared to move.

[Mr_Someguy]

He lost it to a Bullsquid attack.

@Mr. Someguy

He lost it to a Bullsquid attack.

That’s just what he said. He built Dog for Alyx…I wonder if what he built for himself is actually what caused it.

“Hello, Mr. Vance.”

:fffuuu:

Urm… minor correction:

@Marc Laidlaw

Link to Vault
Like many things in the HL universe, we like to reserve these things until we can make some use of them. There’s no point in carving a story idea in granite, only to get there and learn that it leads to bad, boring gameplay.

I hope mod makers don’t spend too much time worrying about whether they’re in conflict with Half-Life. If they get something “wrong”, we won’t change what we decide to do because of it. They can, if they want, show Eli losing his leg to a Bullsquid while helping Kleiner get to safety in Black Mesa; but if I have an opportunity to later show Eli losing his leg while helping kleiner get into City 17, I’ll go ahead and do that. I’m not out to spoil the fans’ fun!

Perhaps there are many many parallel universes, in each of which Eli loses his leg in an entirely different way.

I am looking for that source for ages now.
All I found is the mentioning that Eli is the one who is afraid to move the injured scientist.

I tried looking for it a while ago, no joy, it seems to have disappeared. I know I read it online somewhere, but I can’t find any sources for it any more.

Machinegun jubblies? How’d I miss those, baby?

Maybe next time you should try foreplay.

Too bad. I also asked mimaz (fromthe official Steam forums) to mail Marc about it. Mimaz got a lot of responses on a lot of topics, but not on this.
I just wanted to be sure and show the source since a lot of people over there claim that Kleiner is the scientist later with the shotgun.

[Cobra]

Yeah… would your pupil act as if he didn’t know you and cock a shotgun in your face?

[Xappy]

I read that as “cock in your face”.
See that’s what these forums do to you.

[Lord_Grievous]

No, that’s what you do to these forums

[Xappy]

Possibly a bit of both. I’m not necessarily complaining though.
on topic… It’d be great to get some sort of feedback from Marc Laidlaw or someone at Valve about this. I know it’s unlikely to change anything about how BM does things even if he does respond with “oh Kleiner was the one with the shotgun, the one Eli’s helping is Magnusson, sorry I should’ve said sooner.”

[Mont_Blanc]

You want a response like :

" Dear Xappy thanks about your email. About the characters present of HL2 in HL1, I don’t have a definitive answer. Since everyone as it’s own ideas about where they should be, I leave it be and say that the half-life universe has many parallel words/dimensions where anybody could be everywhere thanks to your imagination. Yours truly, M.L. "

PS: I loved the picture of you in your undies

PPS: It made me laugh so hard Gabe had to order another monitor for my office.

[Xappy]

Hey he wasn’t meant to tell anyone…

[nietzschesaurus]

I thought Kleiner has just lost his groove and Eli was afraid to “move him” with “his funky flow”. That shit would’ve been so off the chain that it would’ve killed him.

'Twas a sad day.

Hahahahaha
That’s definitely the reason! XD
That exact dialogue should be in the game

[Kisuke_Moto]

Well, no one full know. Black Mesa may have been fixed after it’s nuclear explosion. Gordon will have to return.
