I used to do that.
when you start hearing noises from half life EVERWHERE
My name is Kawai Tei.
imagine that!
-Kawai Tei- ( )
when you do a Micheal Winslow impression to pass the time and one of the sound effects that you make for a Shopping cart is the Heavy door opening sound from Half-life.
…when you are about to die you think a huge metal-robot-thing will come and save you.
^when your username includes the word “VORT” referring to vortigaunt.
lol…when you do everything carelessly because yo can just load a save
…when you yell at your dog for not being huge and metal.
I had to go on top of the place I work at to replace the air filters and I actually did that. [I hadn’t gone up a ladder in almost five years]
And you know you play too much Half-Life when you have the HUD display burned into your old monitors screen. [True story.]
When you hear something rattle, and you panic and look for the nearest crowbar/heavy object.
You start to show an unnatural compassion for garden gnomes.
…except for that Travelocity one… he’s a dick.
I never did grasp how to launch him into space. Then I was introduced to Google.
When you have to go up/down steps at work, and look over your shoulder to make sure there aren’t any sentry guns on the next level.
So… how many times did you try shooting straight up with the g-gun before giving up?
I tell ya… that’s one of the hardest achievements out there. Worse than that week in jr. high when I had to take care of that frickin’ egg.
I still have nightmares.
Honestly? I spent a good hour or two shooting in multiple directions, and then even tried to carry it with the gravity gun all the way to White Forest to try and strap him to the rocket.
And I remember the egg too. I cheated and hard boiled mine. Colored him like Sonic the hedgehog too.
I did the same thing.
I neglected to mention something… :zip:
At the end of that week, the teacher collected each of our eggs (marked by name) and hurled them into an empty trashcan. Splattery eggs got an A, but boiled eggs got a C-minus. (same grade as broken egg)
I learned something about emotional attachment that day.
Awesome move, coloring it like [COLOR=‘DeepSkyBlue’]Sonic… bet you couldn’t wait to roll it straight into a wall or something.
When you download a papercraft version of the glock 9mm Pistol from HL1, intending to construct it after Metal Gear REX
When you see infantry walking around carrying M5s at an airport and expect to hear the intercom say “military personnel”
when you get a job doing security detail at a festival then tell random passers by to pick up and dispose of cans, just for shits ‘n’ giggles.
You know you play too much Half-Life when you can read this thread and know what everyone is talking about.
