What thing from half life would you least like to be killed by irl?

Autocorrect on a forum that isn’t available on mobile?:what:
At least, it doesn’t work for me.

Well, that’s also really sad. The fruit of your efforts results in becoming a mindless worker drone that’s been scarred beyond human recognition. You’re changed to look like some demented Raggedy Ann doll.

For me, I REALLY don’t want to be dissolved by the AR2’s secondary fire, or similar devices. The feeling of having your atoms ripped apart, god, I wouldn’t want to experience that. Although that isn’t to say the other things mentioned aren’t a walk in the park either.

You probably wouldn’t feel it.

I don’t want to be killed by a falling chair.

The first time I played through that scene in the barn, and got pulled up to the advisor, I was practically squirming in my chair.

Every time since then, I just spend that scene staring at the screen with one eyebrow cocked, wondering what the art team was thinking.

I think so. Combine Soldiers scream before they get disintegrated, which can be in fear or in pain. The sensation may not last long but still, feeling it even for just one second won’t be very pleasant.

I always thought they should have a special sound for antimatter disintegration deaths.

It’s dark energy, not antimatter. If it were antimatter, it would just go “bang” and splash you with neutron and gamma radiation and neutrinos and shit.

If that shit were anti-matter I think there’d be more than just a “bang” :stuck_out_tongue:

I just wonder if you’d be a KIA or an MIA…

I’m surprised no one has said Manhack. Can you imagine? A flying circular saw cutting gouges in you, again and again, blood spraying everywhere. Your arms are gradually sliced off as you try to protect yourself. After a few minutes of this you collapse from blood loss, gurgling your last breath as it flies off to chop up someone else.

As for the first game: being a scientist lucky enough to survive the disaster, only to be gunned down by Gordon Freeman because he thinks it’s funny.

Overcharging the Tau cannon. Next thing you know, nothing’s left of you except smoking boots.

For me, it depends on the instalment:* If we’re talking Haλf-Life 1: Black Mesa/Haλf-Life 1: Blue Shift/Haλf-Life 1: Decay, definitely the houndeye or the barnacle. The former because your organs being disintegrated by a sonic boom, complete with ruptured eardrums (with the possibility of explosives being thrown in) would be the most dreadful fate worse than death (a similar thing would happen if you actually survive a direct hit from a rocket propelled grenade, even with precautions that allow you to do so. Someone on YouTube did a discussion of this in a video exploring the physics of rocket jumping). The latter because your neck being snapped & the resulting quadriplegia means you can’t fight back, even if you survive. At least if you’re smart enough to look up (unlike pretty much anyone who hasn’t played a VALVe game) than you’re okay, as they’re sessile.

  • For Haλf-Life 1: Opposing Force, the answer would be the Shock Trooper’s Spore Grenades. Even if you survive, the gamete cells that have contaminated your body from the explosion would end up growing through your system, like many a fungal infection in real life (at least, that’s why I think Collective X decided to use explosive spore clusters as launcher grenades).
  • If we’re talking Haλf-Life 2/Haλf-Life 2: Lost Coast, definitely the Gunship’s machine cannon. The feeling of millions of bullets hitting you as you’re torn apart… I get the heebie-jeebies thinking about it. You can’t even fight back easily without Black Mesa: Source Hazardous Environment Combat Unit Human Marine Grunt Soldier-level reaction times, as every weapon that is effective against it can & will be retaliated against by it.
  • For Haλf-Life 2: Episode One, the Zombine. The worst part is that it’s the parasite that’s making it kill itself to kill you, so you feel sorry for all those unfortunate zombified Combine soldiers suiciding you with grenades. Even if they were trying to kill me before, I just feel sad for killing them with no choice because they were zombified on top of being turned into mindless drone soldiers.
  • In Haλf-Life 2:Episode Two, certainly a Combine Advisor in a human host body. Note: Advisors can take human host bodies, it’s just changes to the storyline meant they were never able to do a scene incorporating this ability. Anyway, why wouldn’t I want to be killed by such a thing? Simple: being tortured, assaulted, & raped (physically, psychically, & spiritually) by such an altered human would break your mind to the point where you can feel what would be the most painful thing of all to feel if it were normal to be able to feel it: your soul being forced out of your body by your own mind & going to the afterlife.

So neat and organized. Kinda long though.

I dunno if I said this earlier, but getting eaten by a barnacle would suck.

I’m still not convinced anything’s worse than a Poison Headcrab…
