Opposing force was my favourite of the bunch. Had a blast when i got that pack for Christmas one year. Came with counter strike, team fortress and something else.

A bunch of recognizable gameplay stuff from any FPS you might have played in the last 15 years was probably first done with Half Life, but I'm not sure if that alone will make it stand up. Either way it should be a fun enough ride as long as the old graphics don't get to you.

I bought a Doghouse Systems top of the line pc that can run anything on the market and my sister comes by to drop off her kids and heaves big sighs while looking longingly it but knows she'd never have time to use it. She just makes do by sneaking up to play Overwatch on it when they are taking a nap when visiting. She even straight up said by the time I'm ready to replace it her kids will be old enough she can have my old PC

Half Life 1 still holds up really well despite its age. But then i'm one of the few people who genuinely likes the Xen levels at the end of the game so *shrug*

Opposing Force is worth playing, it added in a lot of new weapons and some new enemies. Plus the level design is very, very solid for the most part. It's a worthy companion to the first Half Life.

Blue Shift is kinda meh. it's not bad but you can pretty much breeze through it in like 5 hours if you got a spare day off. I can never remember much about it other than the final setpiece.

While Donald Trump was running for president in late 2015 and early 2016, his company was pursuing a plan to develop a massive Trump Tower in Moscow, according to several people familiar with the proposal and new records reviewed by Trump Organization lawyers.

As part of the discussions, a Russian-born real estate developer urged Trump to come to Moscow to tout the proposal and suggested he could get President Vladimir Putin to say “great things” about Trump, according to several people who have been briefed on his correspondence.

Happened here during a huge flood too. They had to do it to avoid the dam breaking and loving the dog really badly.

Hope you guys avoid the issues we had when the rain stopped where the flood levels continued to rise because more and more run off was being collected.

How hard is it to install a snorkel on a modern car engine?

If I were a mechanic in houston I'd be tempted to try it and just drive around the city half underwater.

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

not that hard but A) your car isn't heavy enough, it'll easily float in water high enough to reach close to the top of the hood, and B) a modern new car probably leaks around the door sills etc. so you will still ruin it.

Snorkels are really just for high clearance trucks that are otherwise built for high waterline fords, and even then, you need to understand what you're doing to avoid losing traction and getting swept along with a current.
