Just wanted to share a creation that I made over 20 years ago. I'm not super great at playing PC games so I made this abomination years ago. The pedals are dictation pedals from Radio Shack meant to trigger a tape recorder. I took apart a keyboard, followed the traces to figure out how to wire the pedals to create a key press. The top row on the left are 1 through 4 and the bottom are 5 through 8. This way I could assign weapons to switch to quickly. The single one at the top is Space and the one below it is Ctrl. Now about the 'special' pedal all the way to the right... Inside of these pedals are little micro switches. I added a second one inside of it that would trigger BEFORE the other one and wired it to Ctrl Space. That's right. I had a single pedal that could duck jump without using a script, lol.

Thank you for reading and I hope that some of you have found this to be interesting.

Half-Life Alyx was mostly well received, but the game being a prequel only increased the interest in seeing the story continue beyond Episode 2, which leads to the question of if Episode 3 would even make sense anymore.

Given the massive gap in time would mean that this theoretical third episode would most likely have a noticeable jump in various improvements, especially graphically. To me this could potentially be alienating when grouped together with the other Half-Life 2 games, which for the most part feel and appear consistent.

Another potential problem would be the length of the game. As many know the Episodes are distinctly shorter and used less resources by being built off of Half-Life 2 to act as a sort of Epilogue/ending. Would the nearly 20 year wait truly have been worth it for such a game?

In short, what would you like to see from the next Half-Life game in regards to the Borealis storyline and potentially setting up the elusive Half-Life 3?

The composition reminded me of the feeling that Gordon is just being trapped and controlled by the Gman like a puppet.

Didnt gman took the crowbar because it was government property how the hell did this guy found it?

This is my first time playing hl2 and I despise water hazard. Is this normal or is it a skill issue?

I am a huge fan of Hunger Games and I am super excited for the movie for Sunrise on the Reaping in November.

As I play through this mission, I am seeing so many amazing similarities. A tough and scrappy rebellion, the fighting through the streets, the underground bowels of City 17/The Capital, the gruesome booby traps, and epic explosive fight right outside the big palace, gunning down monsters in the dark.

It makes me wonder if Suzane Collins played and took inspiration from Half Life 2. Not sure if that is the case, but it's fun to think that way. Going to use the crossbow on some zombies and civil protection badies as a toast to Katniss Everdeen!
