      1. @ceruleanspark What is this? A hillarious redubbing of a Lets play video series?

        1. @purplephish20 It's functionally a lets play, but it's more like "what if Gordon Freeman was a hilarious sociopath?"

            1. @purplephish20 This takes you through the story in a perfectly adequate fashion

              1. @ceruleanspark hmm... nahh, I id rather play the game itself, as its said "considered one of the greatest video games of all time"

                1. @purplephish20 Honestly, for the most part that's because it innovated so much; most of what was special about it is just basic hallmarks of the genre now. The story's still pretty neat, but the gameplay is no longer special in a post-HL world.

                  1. @bitshift Ahh well.... I still hope its fun when I eventually punch through it

                    1. @purplephish20 Oh yeah, it's not _bad_. It's just comparatively mediocre (in gameplay; like I said, the story's aged much better) when modern games have already learned from everything it did well.

                      1. @bitshift I wouldn't really say it's mediocre, per se. Its age definitely shows, and it doesn't do anything special by today's standards, though it's still a pretty good game. I blast through it from time to time, I can only really think of one or two parts that bug me.
