The giant fan on blast pit.

Yes that makes sense but right now I’m not sure I remember how that vent looked like exactly: is the vent Gordon has to climb in the only one there, or does the flow of air go into some bigger vent at the top?

At P2, we indeed have suction, but only if the flow goes on towards the right side of the figure. Let’s say P2 is the vent Gordon climbs in, then is there also a way for the air to go on upwards (which would correspond to the right side of this figure)?

How does that work? Level transition inside each vent?

Or is it some tricky Portal style shit?

Or is there only 1 vent?

Missed that :>

Also what happens if you decide to backtrack from one vent to the other? Wouldn’t magically ending up in the same place kinda screw with the immersion?

I think it’s a geometric thing, not teleportation or other trickery.

What if one of the vents lead to world 4-3 of Super Mario Bros?

Then Gordon Freeman will eat a suspicious mushroom and become large enough to challenge the Nihilanth to fisticuffs.

The he’d eat a weird ass flower and be able to shoot fire balls out of his bare hands.

Even if you have eight vents ypu still have to rebuild the construction a bit to make it possible to climb into any of them. Or have you made velcro-walls?

Who said they came out of his bare hands? :3

Well, Mario’s fireballs come out of his bare hands, so why not with Gordon.

That sounded wrong.

Gordon wears gloves. :hmph:

Can we talk about something interesting? Like Ram’s version of this giant fan? Ram, do please explain, or at least give a small hint, as to how you’re gonna get shenanigans in our collective faces.

Please don’t, I’d rather the shenanigans be fresh.

Actually, fair point.

Spew on, idiots!

So… back on topic: how about replacing Nihilanth with Bowser? No one liked Nihilanth…

I thought that was a given.

It’d be explainable to have a hallway leading to the control room or whatever but it’s blocked off. So you have to access it via the maintenance ladder instead, which is through the fan. Easy fix. But I’m sure whatever you guys end up doing will be just as good.

No, having a maintenance ladder connected directly to a fan intake seems quite ridiculous and was actually the orginal layout in the game.
