Stupid Ep 1 question

[throdgrain]

I know I bought it when it came out, but Ive never really had a chance to play it!
Anyway, Ive started now, and Im immediately stuck. You know early on you go on a lift thing down into the bowels of the place, and it gets stuck and you have to grab a ball of energy with your gun thing?
Ive done this a couple of times, but now Im stuck on the lift. I grabv a energy ball, shoot it at the control panel opposite, but nothing happens. Why's that then?

Because some fucker with a laser eye thing shoots it out - you need to bounce it in to his little room on the left and kill him before you can proceed.

Thanks Nath, I didnt see the pesky wee chap

I played a bit more last night, the graphics are really something else

 

[TdC]

you mean I should get it Throdders?

 

[throdgrain]

Depends m8. As far as it goes, its very cheap, you can download it, I have to have it really as I must have all things HL2



Actually , on consideration, yes mate, buy it. BUY IT NOW!!

 

[TdC]

lol ok then, soon as I'm home alone I'll whip out the old credit card

 

[throdgrain]

Well played

I would say its not really worth the money, you finish it in 4 or so hours.

 

[Ch3tan]

It's a well spent 4 hours though.

Was worth, though I was worried about having a NPC follow me around, as it usually cause more problems but the AI of Alyx is brilliant, best I've seen in a game, shes actually uses the environment and runs away from nades and can kick a Zombies arse with her kicks which is so cool to watch. Finished it last night and it gave me the Halo 2 ending feeling like 'what the hell I want more damm it!' so yeah can't wait till episode 2 but its guna be a long wait as we have to wait for the PS3 to be released first then we can get our hands on it, somebody thinks it will be a good idea to release it on the PC/360/PS3 at the same time. I own a 360 aswell but I would much rather play the HL series on a PC it just makes sense.

(I am sorry for the mini-rant)

As well as TF2 being shipped with Episode 2, they are also shipping a game called portal. Check it out http://www.youtube.com/v/Wb7aDZeO_MQ

 

[TdC]

wow that looks totally cool!

 

[MYstIC G]

That portal thing has to be the first game I've seen in AGES that i've really wanted to play.

 

[dysfunction]

That looks like a very tricky game!!

I want it!
