I'll be popping up here every once in a while.

I'm lord monkey, resident bad-ass. I've only completed HL2 and HL2:Ep1, so I still have a ways to go.

hi im abu el 3am im a big fan of this game and i have finished hl1 and hl2:ep1

Well, you're not alone, you have also a HL fan here .

I've completed HL - HLOF - HLBS - HL2 - HL2E1 - HL2E2, I've also completed some of their mods like The Awakening, Minerva, Azure Sheep, Point of View, Doomed, City 7: Toronto Conflict, Rock 24, HL2 Substance Gold, Wivenhoe: The Fall of Ravenholm, Ravenholm, Combine Destiny, Day Hard, etc..

Without forgetting "Maybe Black Mesa... Ha ha, fat chance"... I mean, Portal.

I can't wait for Episode 3. Though, I wonder if my old PC will be able to handle it. Hopefully they don't raise the system requirements, or else I'll be forced to play on low graphics, or get a new computer.

I really wonder where the storyline could go? Up until now, Gordon Freeman has been doing nothing but completing objectives to defeat the Combine. And only a few secrets have been revealed.

And I'm really skeptical about this Aperture Science thing. I mean, I barely thought Portal fit into the story line, and now Aperture Science exists in the HL universe. Valve usually pulls through though.

That's pretty true, people seemed to work only for Black Mesa or to have applied for working there (like Judith).

I'm a huge Half-life 2 fan but one small thing that's annoyed me is that you never see Gordon's shadow. Everything in the game reacts realisticlly to light except him. Is this something Valve did on purpose? cause i don't see any reason why it's like that. I hope that when episode 3 is released (and I also hope its soon)they will have done something about this. Again, not a huge problem, I just think it would be cool.

I am a big fan of the half life series i have completed
HL,HLOF,HLBS,HL2,HL2E1,HL2E2 and Portal as i eagerly await the arrival of episode 3 i search the web for as much info as possible
