OK. I missed the HLs when they came out because I didn't enjoy shooters at the time, but I can appreciate good ones now, so I might give it a shot sometime. Thanks, friends.

the Gameplay in the half life series is way more about thinking quickly about how to use the environment to avoid enemy attacks

heres a cool video of friend arfjason playing a segment of the fan made remake of 1, black mesa source

I'd actually extend that to say half lifes is all about the environment really, you spend as much time navigating space as you do in combat probably

If you must blink, do it now.
Shadowgate is a good game but sometimes delves into adventure game logic which eh.

drat. I saw it a theater that kicks folks out for talking during movies, which has its own charm (hearing the movie, for one), but that sounds pretty fun.

It was a Special Stage specifically meant to provide a concert experience. The room itself just just your standard theater, except for the cardboard cutout of the girls in front of the line that kept people from getting close to the screen.

ahhh, OK. That's a good idea. I wish they catered to the turbonerds in that fashion over here, but there probably aren't enough to fill a theatre in most cities.

this is probably the sequence i would put in the manga thread, because it shows off the themes of the whole story and also the artists really good eye for timing in page layouts

Is it actually canon or are you making that up because it'd be cute?

some fans released a modest graphics update for hl2 a few month ago that you can pick up right from steam, so I was playing the game again for the first time in years and years.

it's still really good. one of the small things I still really appreciate is the passage of time in the game. From day, to night, to day, to dusk again, and the way it lines up thematically with the levels you're doing...it's really good. Still one of the best directed experiences of the day, and they still barely ever take character control away from you

I read the first few chapters and I thought it did little to stand out. But those were basically just introductions for the protagonist and the rival so maybe it got better.

I described it as Naruto if Rock Lee was the main character and everyone was wizards. I liked it but Sharky's better than me at selling people on comics.

the art is incredibly high tier and the artist has good control over page layouts and composition but also just creatively illustrating magical attacks
