Even though i got all pirate versions.
it's still epic.
I have completed every one without cheats without dieing.
Half-life2 Ep2 is the only one giving me the hardies.
Hardies means It's hard.

No, I'm sorry, I've finished Half-Life at least 5 times and I can say with very little doubt - that's nigh-on impossible unless you're incredibly hardcore.

Half-Life 1 is possibly one of the hardest FPS's ever made. And I do mean ever. It's also one of the longest - Shortest time it took me to beat it was... Nine hours, I think? And that was rushing through at top speed.

If you actually have finished HL1 without dying, impressive, but unless you can provide some proof I can't believe that. Sorry.

Anyways!

I've got the entire series on PC (except for one that's not on PC), aced almost all of them (not counting Steam achievements).

The only ones I haven't beat are Opposing Force (hard as hell, believe me), Blue Shift (can't really get interested in it, unfortunately), and Decay (because it was console only and FPS's on consoles are a pain to play).

Also, I've got one other... I guess you could say "unreleased" Half-Life game on PC... It's related to Half-Life 2 (no, not Episode Three :V). Can anyone guess what it is? :P

Half-life 2: the lost coast?
Here all my HL2 achivements:
Anchor's Aweigh!
Blast From The Past
Defiant
Heavy Weapons
Malcontent
Revenge!
Trusty Hardware
Zero-Point Energy.



I am stuck in Ravenholm in the first attack of those stupid fast zombies. I wish i would have an airboat here. :lol:


Here are some cool console codes i found
CreateFlashlight
CreateHairball

Cheat codes, watch out, they'll make game ignore achivements!:
To activate, type in
Sv_cheats 1
Cheats:
Noclip - lets you fly around
Impulse 101 - gives you all the weapons in Half-Life 2.

Not quite. Lost Coast is related to what I'm talking about, though. :wink:

I don't have a recording device.
If you could send me a link to a free one i'll give you some proof.
But if you do give me one tell me what proof you want of which games:
NOTE halflife2-Ep1 is no longer on my harddrive.
So don't ask.
Availables:
HL1-OP-BS-MAIN
HL2-EP2-MAIN

So these are the availbles if you get me a recording device.
to choose if you do
Just say the initials then the initals of the expansion or just say MAIN 1/2
EDIT:
Choose what zone you wanna see too!
NOTE i do not remember some of them so don't expect much.
HL1-Office complex-Beginning of the disaster-xen levels-two of them marks areas. While i forgot the rest.
HL2-Ravenholm/Metropolice MADNESS!!!/Nova prospeckt (wrong i think)
Forgot rest...

Do i have to get an airboat and swim on the sea? :shock:

Completed HL2.

About G-man: I believe the 'G' stands for 'Garry' and his last name is new'man'.
This can be the truth, as in the Developer console his npc coding stuff says gman.

No, it's not. Garry Newman is responsible for GMod, and even back in HL1 he was called the G-Man. The name "Garry Newman" is not that of any Half-Life character, past or present.

What does his name stand for? Government man - he's an agent of some sort. As Valve puts it, a "sinister interdimensional bureaucrat". :lol:

Makes sense, but what about those guys who taken Alyx in HL2episode 1?
G-man said "we'll see about that" to them, but they looked like ghosts.
Also, did you notice that in HL1 gman has no eyes, but in HL2 he has them? :lol:

They were vorts. As to that scene's relevance to the plot... No one knows yet.

He has eyes, just the low-res texture making them harder to see.
