I love how well the physics engine works in source 2. 1:01:55 is one of the best examples for how it could be used in ways that aren't "plan A". Being able to push a manhack using a box when you need to reload is a fantastic addition to an already great game. It truly shows how much time they put into making Alyx one of the best games on the market today. Then the box blocking the door when trying to close it is a frustrating, but very realistic, situation that immerses you into the game BECAUSE it's annoying.

24:00 that head crab almost looked cute

You know, the more I look at Russel's pistol getting upgrades, the more it's starting to look like Alyx's Gun from HL2. The machine gun also looks a bit like a smaller pulse rifle.

I always felt like the reason the Combine allowed Earth to live was because Humans are such a versatile "weapons platform", since most of the other equipment they've shown either relies on telekinesis or robotic supplements (i.e robot arms and legs) a species that has... well, fingers, and fine motor control for manual operation of their stuff would seem invaluable to me. *And as such they can also be tasked with more than transport and combat actions, which we've only seen the advisors do in any other case.

RIP Russell's drone. Again

After he got the extra ammo upgrade on the combine automatic, I realized that these are the exact same guns from half life 2, every time you get a upgrade, it slowly transforms into the half life gun, the combine automatic is the AR2. That shot gun is well, the shotgun. There are exceptions for maybe the USP (starter gun) But maybe it will turn into a slightly upgraded SMG at the end of it, due to the black color and burst? The combine automatic rifle will turn into the AR2, it starts to take shape after the extra capacity upgrade, it's that cylinder at the end of the gun on the AR2, somewhere along the line we will most likely encounter a combine ball upgrade. The shotgun has it's 2 shot upgrade harry has not gotten yet, but it will most likely lead to the extended shotgun pump area being added. There is no SMG (That's because of the USP most likely becoming the SMG) There are still plenty of weapons we have to wait on but these combinations are most probable at this point in time (Congrats! you made it to the end of my rant.)

Kerhita in theory the Borealis is a larger version of the portal device. That’s why the portal device is called the “handheld” portal device. Advanced local teleportation, no interference from Xen. That’s what the combine haven’t mastered yet, which is why it’s so sought after. Really sad that HL3 will probably never be made because it’s a great set up for a game.
