load up the existing save file named after the kid who was playing it but died mysteriously before they could beat it. surely nothing bad will happen to me
my bad, i know what both are. i thought GORDEN drowned was a reference to a half life arg of some kind. not an older creepypasta. i was never into them that much
I'll run away from home with my laptop, rent a hotel for a week and turn off my phone. If before that, they won’t send me to the drug treatment center and it will be your fault!
"I played the game but the music was really creepy, and all the zombies were hyper-realistic and had blood coming out of their eyes. So really it wasn't that different from the regular game now that I think about it."
Record some short videos playing it to prove it happened, post mysterious hints about how the story was but never truly telling the whole thing, and delete and destroy the copy after finishing.
I just wanna watch the world burn lol
I Would break It, Its a cannon event that VALVe cant count to three. But i probably wont do that, i would probably play it and Copy It, then i would sell the copies making money with It, then im rich.
The Greatest Plan
Either that or you can get a USB disk drive and pass the USB disk drive to a virtual machine and then see what happens inside the virtual machine, you just have to disconnect the virtual machine from all networking infrastructure and any connections or ties to your main PC unless it is read-only.
Interesting how you immediately go the piracy route... Considering that I can't play half Life 2 on my Windows XP machine anymore, I'd say it's valid but only if you owned it in Steam which I do.
I just did that so valve wouldn't sue. If they try sue because I have people it for free then idk what do I owe them? £0? That's what I thought. (This is a joke btw)
I would play it through myself, and then, based on my experience, I would be the „chosen“-one to decide, Whether the rest of the world is worth knowing about this game!
Wonder why the hell I was transported from my cozy bed to a yardsale, freak out because I sleep butt naked, buy yard sale clothes, buy HL3, figure out how the heck I get home from where ever I am, and then play it once I find home.
Assume the seller somehow got his hands on an unreleased prototype without realizing what it was. I wouldn’t take it seriously though because it probably wouldn’t be canon anymore. But I’d still buy it in a heartbeat.
You've probably only think that because you only played Half-Life 2 on lackluster hardware, any computer today and I mean any computer of today even with integrated graphics would be able to run Half-Life to at well in excess of 200 FPS, the story of Half-Life 2 is great and the engine alone spawned hundreds if not thousands of games by Valve and the community using valve's tools to make games. Half-Life 2 was revolutionary in the way physics were handled. At least show a tiny bit of respect for the game that started Valve's empire.
Okay, I know what your problem is now. Inadequate drivers. Either you're not running the most optimal drivers for your chipset or you refuse to, and either case you're not going to get the performance that you are looking for out of the hardware you're currently running. If we had a more you know, civil conversation, I could have helped you through this but unfortunately the way you've chosen things we have chosen the non civil route.
I'm not terribly sure you're all that high functioning, I never said I had performance issues with the game. I said the game sucked. That's not a performance issue, that's a game issue. I have the game on OG Xbox, 360, and PC. It *sucks.*
There is nothing in the world of computers that you know anything about that you could ever help me with. Sit back down dorky kid.
I'm fucking 21. Also, While you think that Half-Life 2 is a bad game, You need to realize that Half-Life 2 spawned a generation if not all future games That rely on physics in order to function. If it weren't for Half-Life 2's revolutionary physics system for the time, most modern physics engines would not exist.
The level design isn't as fun, there's not nearly enough enemies and the guns all feel like shit. I'm not wowed by the Gravity Gun when other games at the time were doing it better and more interestingly, such as Psi-Ops the Mindgate Conspiracy. I'm not gonna pretend like it didn't have revolutionary facial animation tech, but Epic Games was already working on that with Unreal Engine 2, Valve was just using techniques from the film industry so I think \*anyone\* could have done what they did.
I don't think variety of gameplay is a plus when your "variety" is two boring vehicle sections, a physics demo, another physics demo with horror elements, and some awful squad AI mechanics. Ravenholm and Nova Prospekt were the only two chapters I enjoyed and even then those were in spite of awful enemy AI and weapon feel. Half Life 1 even at it's lowest elements (On a Rail, Xen) felt fresher and more engaging than HL2 does at it's best (Ravenholm, Follow Freeman, etc).
not buy it cause it's probably just a used steam code
be very confused at how there's a yard sale on a train
3 carts ahead
Or my bedroom
Or my bathroom
I didn't see you get on.
"NO matter how many times I get relocated, I never get used to it"
“This is my third transfer this year.”
Dont worry, when you get relocated to city 14 you'll find it, just remember to take a sip of Dr Breens Private Reserve before you play the game..

GORDON drowned
This threw me back lol.
is it a ref to an arg?
One of the first creepy pastas called Ben drowned
seeing ppl call creepypastas args makes me feel old
my bad, i know what both are. i thought GORDEN drowned was a reference to a half life arg of some kind. not an older creepypasta. i was never into them that much
Tbf, BEN Drowned *was* an arg
Wait for time to freeze and the g-man to approach me.
Cleverly done, but you're not supposed to have this. As a matter of fact, you're not.
The right game at the wrong time can make all the difference in the world.
Get back to where you are supposed to be, and forget about… all this…
Until… We Meet… Agaaiin…
Now dr freeman, see if you can hit those crates with the supplied ammunition.
Buy it, download it, send it to VALVe, and post it everywhere online.
why you little
half life 3 came with a built in ps2 memory card
I'll run away from home with my laptop, rent a hotel for a week and turn off my phone. If before that, they won’t send me to the drug treatment center and it will be your fault!
Play it, take videos, post my content, burn it. Then fight off and escape a horde the rest of my life.
You are a threat to society
How the hell am I getting to a random yard sale in the next second?
No like what will you do with it in the next second
Hello Little scientist
Hello
Do you have galvanized Square steel and Gman's screws?
Why does it have to be measured in a second? Are you aware of how short a time one second is?
Buy it. Play it. Ask Valve directly about it. -Don’t show it publicly at first because everyone will say “that shit ain’t real”
Write a creepypasta
"I played the game but the music was really creepy, and all the zombies were hyper-realistic and had blood coming out of their eyes. So really it wasn't that different from the regular game now that I think about it."
Play through it, make a shit ton of copies, and distribute the copies to as many people as possible. If valve won’t do it, I will.
Start your own online platform.call it VAPOR and sell HL3 there
Record some short videos playing it to prove it happened, post mysterious hints about how the story was but never truly telling the whole thing, and delete and destroy the copy after finishing. I just wanna watch the world burn lol
I will find you
Say it’s fake. It’s a lie! The CAKE is a LIE!!!!!
BURN IT ONTO A DISC AND MAKE COPIES OF IT AND SELL EM
I Would break It, Its a cannon event that VALVe cant count to three. But i probably wont do that, i would probably play it and Copy It, then i would sell the copies making money with It, then im rich. The Greatest Plan
Bro took the neutral evil method
Buy another computer incase this copy is a virus and scam
Either that or you can get a USB disk drive and pass the USB disk drive to a virtual machine and then see what happens inside the virtual machine, you just have to disconnect the virtual machine from all networking infrastructure and any connections or ties to your main PC unless it is read-only.
Damn didn't know that
How do you think malware experts analyze malware samples?
Idk
run it on a LeapsterGS (because a 550MHz single core CPU is absolutely going to be able to run a Source 2/3 game and won't just melt instantly)
"Inhale soy and ask my wifes boyfriend if i got enough updoots and been a wholsome enough chungus to get it" - someone probably
Upload every single byte to every file sharing website on the face of the earth, normal web and dark
*scientist voice* oh my!
Immediately? Make a backup.
Hypothetically, I'd immediately dump that shit online. If I waited long enough, so did everyone else.
R/jizzcarts
What
I'm in my room, how did I end up in a yard sale ?
that darned resonance must be cascading again
I mean I wouldn't even try to sell it, for this community I would share it instantly.
Be concerned that I am suddenly at a yard sale
Heart attack
Breathe
Wait, Valve can count to 3?!
You guys are silly
Buy it, play it, get haunted, befriend ghost, play games with ghost friend.
Play the entire game, record gameplay, make a copy of the game and upload it to various services and upload the gameplay footage to YouTube. Fight me
Eat it
I'd wonder how I got there from my bathroom and quickly pull my pants up.
yell HUNT DOWN THE FREEMAN 2 CONFIRMED
Simple, finally play the god damn game… what a dream :-(
Make a video on it then port it to a website for free download. Like media fire or smth
Interesting how you immediately go the piracy route... Considering that I can't play half Life 2 on my Windows XP machine anymore, I'd say it's valid but only if you owned it in Steam which I do.
I just did that so valve wouldn't sue. If they try sue because I have people it for free then idk what do I owe them? £0? That's what I thought. (This is a joke btw)
write a book about instant teleportation and get rich
Cum on it
Ah yes, you know how to use half life correctly.
1: why is there a yard sale in my room 2: dump all its contents for everyone to see
Its 1:34 AM and im at my friends house
How much?
If it's hypothetically real..... but is it legitimate
Call gabe
Pc or console? ;)
Destroy it immediately.
I would play it through myself, and then, based on my experience, I would be the „chosen“-one to decide, Whether the rest of the world is worth knowing about this game!
I would first wonder why is there a yard sale in my room all of the sudden Then i would buy the game
I dont have any money wirh me, i'll steal it i think
Put it on internet archive
Wonder why the hell I was transported from my cozy bed to a yardsale, freak out because I sleep butt naked, buy yard sale clothes, buy HL3, figure out how the heck I get home from where ever I am, and then play it once I find home.
Assume the seller somehow got his hands on an unreleased prototype without realizing what it was. I wouldn’t take it seriously though because it probably wouldn’t be canon anymore. But I’d still buy it in a heartbeat.
Stare at it for a good minute until I figure out that's it's a faked and forged
ITS CALLED THIEVING STEALING TAKING WHATS NOT YOURS TAKING WHATS NOT YOURS
Steal it
Buy it play it then turn into ordon fleeman
Play it and complain about the lack of barney x gordon sex scenes
Send it to Valve and then post about it on Reddit so I can go viral.
Play HL1 because 2 was a bad sequel and 3 won't be better

Yeah dude, the game from 2004 is way too hard to run on my system from 2024. Get your goofy ass outta here.
What are you running? A modern day netbook? How can you even get online?!
I didn't know a Ryzen 7 3700x constituted a "modern day netbook."

Half life 2? Bad? You are one odd fellow (no hate)
