I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Anyone ever play one of one sneaky mouse's maps? He was probably the best mapmaker if you wanted to play rats style maps

The most memorable part of Half Life to me was the weird announcer voice system. The Black Mesa announcement voice didn't use any pre-recorded lines but instead it had a dictionary of 600 individual sound files containing one word each that were strung together to make sentences. Not only is the voice instantly recognizable, slightly surreal, very distinct and forever memorable (like pretty much all of the voice work from half life I guess) but that lead to a lot of fun times as server admins and modders found out that they could string the words together to make up new phrases that would play on their servers, and you could troll your friends during friendly deathmatch by making the announcer say "Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot." or "Immediately Quit Unauthorized Yankee Of Your Johnson Or Surrender To Sterilization" over and over.

There were plugins to take it one step further with a plugin called Easy Speech. You could edit start, stop, pitch, and, speed to make it say whatever you want

For example "bitch" would be "amx_speakvox been(e40) test(e10) chamber(e10)". e=end, s=start. p=pitch t=time aka speed. It was fun just making it say nonsense or using it to make it say a player name to make them freak out.

other examples were
amx_speakvox you(e70) have(e80) a(e80) degrees(e80) from(e70) i team(e50) team(e50) ten(e40) key(e10) "you have a degree from ITT tech"

amx_speakvox six(p66) six(p66) six(p66) the(p66) number(p66) of(p66) the(p60) but(e20p60) east(s10p60) "666 number of the beast"

amx_speakvox do(e55) you(e55) e(e35) valid(e10) in(e60) liquid(e30) facility(e10) to(e10) break(e20) ok(e30) "Do you even lift bro"

Fun poo poo, sorry no videos I can find :(

So I've now finished HL2 and Episode 1 using MMod and both of them have pretty bad finales. Strider and Gunship fights are really fun when the level is designed around mobility. The fight against the Strider in the citadel sucks because you can only damage it with the energy balls which also conveniently blind you so you're aiming in the general direction with a slow moving projectile while taking burst fire shots that take a quarter of your health at a time.

Same issue with the Strider fight in episode 1 where the Strider just stands there. This one also follows an absolute slog grabbing five groups of citizens and running through the train station.

I know it would probably break balancing but the AR2 really needs two or three more magazines worth of ammo capacity.

Half-Life 2 just did that again, but prettier, and with even worse filler between the shooty-bang bang that had also declined in quality. A real mediocre sequel all around.
I thought the shooty stuff was great in HL2 but there was so much downtime with physics puzzles and poo poo. I would probably think less of it if I played though it today though.

HL2 is fun in spurts but some of the downtime is pretty bad. The episodes are better for keeping the pacing up and you get amazing stuff like the hospital shootout in episode 1 or the sector sweep car chase in 2.

CS 1.6 me and my buddy would play on a 24/7 cs_militia server. That map had a house that the terrorists spawned in and the counter terrorists had to get in to rescue the hostages. Terrorists almost always won so of course we played counter terrorists exclusively.

I had a program that let me play lovely compressed music files over my microphone and my go to was What Is Love by Haddaway because it sounded pretty okay with the compression. My username was "El Pumpo" and on multiple multiple occasions my entire team would die, I'd be the last one left, turn on Haddaway and kill 10+ terrorists with a pump shotgun. The next round would begin without anyone saying a word like what just happened wasn't completely insane.

My buddy was "Bartender Bill", we made it a goal to get into the bottom floor of the house and he'd crouch behind the counter while I lurked around a corner and light up anyone that came in. If it was convenient we'd maybe rescue the hostages. We'd camp "sewer 3" and taunt the terrorists to come down and fight us, running out the clock, while blasting Haddaway.
Hell yeah, good memories. The exploding poo poo, etc. Personally I loved that if your team was sucking poo poo it was totally ok to camp and go for cheap kills, annoying but part of the game design. Had to get creative with camping.

I played enough that I become a demi-God with the AWP and had a some servers returning like 10 ping. When people started hitching I also had zero shame in using the auto and showed them how awful their existence could be.

Before the new CS economy saving for an AWP took forever.
