    That hl2 tech demo way back when. The graphics and physics engine update from old game to new (I mean really against anything current) was unreal! Holy shit I’ve never been more pumped for a game in my life!

    It holds a very special place in my heart.

    I remember playing Half Life at my Grandparents house, my grandfather or Dad stuck me on Half Life (they had a PC) and I loved it.

    I was only able to get past the first few zombies (by fleeing) before having to give up from being too scared lol. While I had played other games / consoles, Half Life was the first game I played that blew my mind and gave me a “wow” factor.

    I think other than the original I think Opposing Force is my favourite of the expansions.

    Thanks for the post; I’m due for a replay 😁
