what age you first played hl1?

Half-Life Series
#61

For some reason I always thought the age group on this forum ranged from around 15 and up.
Explains a lot, mostly the spelling.

#62

I chuckled as I read this… I wonder how many of us played the game while little ones were sitting on our laps. =-D

#63

That’s really sad.

#64

To be honest I don’t believe him either.

#65

i dont get how me saying i was pro first person shooter is sad?? and if its the time it took me to beat it… i was also looking for sectrets i wasnt just running through the game i stoped to look for exstra ammo here or exstra hp there

#66

The fact that you called yourself a ‘pro FPS’ is sad. Very, very sad.

#67

Firstly, ‘pro’ is short for ‘professional’, so exactly how much money were you earning in your pro gaming career?

Secondly, 7 hours is the average completion time for people playing HL2:ep2, and the original HL was way, waaaaay longer than any one HL2 episode.

#68

episode 2 took le mike 4 hrs and by pro i ment i was good with a FPS game id play css and have a kill death record of like 5:1

#69

I played around 10. :l Good times. But a jack-ass like me played half life 2 first.

#70

I was 12 years old and I got stuck straight away as I didn’t expect I could break windows in the game lol. Thought too much of ‘Doom’, and I was so used to colour card keys etc.

Can’t wait for black mesa source.

#71

Actually, the last time I played HL1 I beat it in 7 hours (at least that’s what Steam said :smiley: )

#72

I’m guessing that wasn’t your first time.

#73

First played it in 2004, my bro was telling me about CS, we went into a game shop and got HL Anthology (Doesn’t come with CS), the guys behind the desk said “Aren’t you sure you don’t want Half-Life2 or at least Half-Life: Source?” And I stuck to my guns and said I wanted the Anthology, as I walked out the store with my new game I heard him and another customer crack up laughing.
I knew my laptop could never ever play a Source game :confused:
I made a good choice XD stupid gaming shop clerks.
EDIT:

That’s so sweet, I do that with my neice with GTA:VC and with my girlfriend on TF2 X_X

#74

I think it was 2003 or 2004. My friend gave me his old Half-Life platinum collection, which included Opposing Force and Blue Shift. I was 12 at the time.

#75

Since I was four I used to sit on my dads knee and watch him play half life and I did not understand it at all. I was a bit scared of the zombies though even though their not really scary. I started playing when I was 6 and I finished the game but my dad could not get past the tentacle.

#76

When I was 6…OMG!!! lol

#77

I was around 11 in 2000 and I had a friend who had HL1. I kept forgetting what the game was called at the time but it gave a lasting impression during the few times I played it. The beginning tram ride leading to the breakdown of Black Mesa and The Nihilanth (I called it a giant metal baby at the time) were what stuck with me until I bumped into the Anthology a few years after HL2 was released, where I finally got to play through the whole experience.

#78

You were 2006 years old when you first played Half Life ? Who are you ? Jesus ?

#79

I was 3 :freeman:
I didn’t want to go in the test chamber though

#80

Oh lawds.

Ummm… well, let’s see. I got it for christmas in 2003, after having been introduced to it by a friend earlier that year. That would’ve made me… 14?

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
