Any glasses made after like 1508 have an anti-glare coating on them. Lens flare is a cheapo effect that tries to make everything seem realistic but makes it obvious how desperate the devs are.
Only if you pay extra. Mine don’t have them cause they would’ve cost too much if they did.
Soo… No lens flare?
Nope.
Umm, pwnt?
(BTW, It’s a developers insight n how to create the lens flare as seen by the human eye by dissecting the anatomy of the human eye. Interesting if you find that kind of stuff interesting. It has some photos toward the bottom, very neat stuff)
Edit: After reading Raminator’s post, I have decided to fortify myself from attacks of sounding stupid. Go to page three, it talks about the liquid in the eye dispersing light within the eye. Tears and such wouldn’t help either.
Edit AGAIN!!: I’m not suggesting lens flare, bloom gets annoying as is, i don’t want more things blocking my view.
Heres a simple suggestion: Make it good, damn good.
How about the blue screen of death on at least one of the computers?
By the looks of things they all seem to be running Win95 OS shudder brings back bad memories
Blind much?
lol. blue screen of death is due to the crash, it’s supposed to be on all the comps. that’s a pretty hard fail.
some of those are just closed-circuit tvs… not hooked up to a comp, so unless someone stuck a bsod in front of the camera… and the one with the BM logo says “offline” which would suggest that the monitor has no input.
Hey, wait, that’s more clever than I thought! They’re Windows NT bluescreens!
Okay, new project: Everybody get a VM of Windows NT 4 and capture screenshots for all the computer terminals! IE4, hooray!
how the hell can you tell that they’re NT4? look the same as XP to me. And Vista, and 2000.
One hopes the technical accuracy of a BSOD is the last thing people notice when they’re walking through these shiny new maps. I know the first thing I’m doing in there is bugging the guy at the desk. Pushing buttons on his terminal, flicking the lights on and off, knicking his can of drink and chucking it at his head…ah…retroactive karma. It’s just a shame they can’t program the Barneys to pull out their batons and chase you off down the corridor if you annoy them too much. 
I’m going to investigate every detail possible.
Maybe when the bullsquid’s acid hits water it should make a green cloud that slowly dissipates, and only hurts you if you’re close to it. Just thinking about the part where you drop down into the canal and there’s a bullsquid on the other side, can anyone remember whether it attacks you if you’re underwater?
as far as i remember , in those times , underwater meant stealth …xD , but the water in hl1 had no transparency so … the bullsquid couldn’t hit you whatsoever
You remember wrong. The bullsquid hits you a lot.
Bitch, Gordon has prescription glare-resistant glasses from lenscrafters.
GAH I WAS NINJAD FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER BY MULTIPLE OTHERS :ninja:
No, water means Ichtyosaur and the Icky is bloody scary, even today. Especially in Apprehension where you can be faced with two of them in pitch black water.
iKy meant that you can’t see INTO hl1’s water if you’re not in it because of the texture on top. hl2’s water had a transparent surface.
