Half Life 2: Episode 2

At Black Mesa East (at the end of the airboat ride), Alyx mentions that Judith was alway complaining that it should have been her in the test chamber right at the beginning of Half-Life. Kind of suggests she was at Black Mesa at the right at the beginning.

I finally finished this today. I suck. I tried to get the achievement for letting none of the building getting destroyed. Well, sod that for a bunch of bananas! The best I can do is 2 buildings getting destroyed, I just can't

get one side of the map to the other, kill all the hunters (otherwise they shoot my bombs) and then get the strider before he headshots the damn buildings...

Oh, yeah, sod the gnome achievement. I read someone's blog type post about him doing it. And he said he nearly went insane as the car just throws he everywhere, meaning you have to drive in straight lines or walk. Have fun.

I like
the cross over with aperture science. That seems fun. I hope Freeman doesn't get the portal gun, just because, but I can't wait to see what the big ship is!

I didn't like
the old man death. It's pointless. It's a generic plot twist of BOREDOM. But maybe that's just me...

So yes, I will look forward to Episode 3, but I'm not going to expect it any time soon.

I think it would be quite cool for the portal gun to show up in Episode 3, but it could be used only briefly... eg inside the ship it would be able to be used to overcome obstacles or to escape, but at some point an Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grid could be used to destroy the portal gun to prevent the player/ Gordon from having the gun for the whole game.

But then, I'm not a valve software designer. :P

I'd say that you would probably would get it for the whole game, but don't forget, you can only fire portals on certain totally flat surfaces. When you went "behind the scences" of the Aperture Testing Facility, there were very few places you could open a portal. I suspect the same will be with HL2: Ep 3.

Thank you.

Note to Valve: try killing off a character we have some sort of emotional attachment to next time, or don't bother. You don't need a twist ending when it'll be a year and a half until you next damn episode rolls out.

Or, kill off the character which just showed up in the 4th game in a series, and everyone acts like he's been there since the beginning!
