The giant fan on blast pit.

Well actually, we do have a soldier here.

Well, there you go.

And now I’m off to pretend to work.

“Yeah, um, you gotta install a 2/1 vent… duct… fan in the overhead… intake… system… flow. Yeah.”

Yeah. I work for an architectural firm for a structural engineer, and so many games that I play look so stupid from a professional standpoint. Some of them are fun to play though, so I try not to let it get to me, but others…

maybe a small idea for it would be to have instead of some controll lever. there would be some sort of elecktric wire or something that needs to be plugged in.

That could work i think…

Did anything about the original Black Mesa in Half-Life make any damn sense at all? You might as well ask why the ladder in the Office Complex-We’ve Got Hostiles transition elevator is on the opposite side of the shaft from the door, when it was put there in case you couldn’t reach the elevator. The guys who built BMRF were either idiots or sadistic.

It’s still a game, don’t try to make sense of it.

I know, but something as ridiculous as black mesa (the facility, not the game) is something that I cannot see working out that way. It’s a game, but even as a game it doesn’t really makes sense at all.

Then you should know there’s no such thing as a centrifugal fan in virtual reality.

Because it’s headcrab-slicing potential is limited?

Exactly.

They are. Way too underwhelming…

You see, that’s just regular mass spectrometer but the one in Black Mesa is an anti-mass spectrometer. :retard:

Right, can you imagine trying to build a mass spectrometer out of antimatter, and then keeping it stable? No wonder everything went to hell!!!

Has anyone noticed that one of the 3 blades faces the wrong direction? here’s a crude typing pic of what it looks like when it passes by ( < then < then >, *repeate ) So one blade of force is being made into wind that goes into the vents, that must of been a mapping woops or the BM research team sure isn’t thinking green that much!

Yes we have.

It operates at 33% efficiency.

Though I bet your blades are smaller.

…Also, one of those blades should break off when it’s spinning up, to indicate how puny your fan is in comparison to the old bear of a faulty-angled rust-rotor.

It should be like a turbine.
