To those who are unhappy with the graphics of HL1, you can download Black Mesa which is an remake of the original. https://www.moddb.com/mods/black-mesa
Black Mesa has an extended Xen portion of the game. Otherwise it's a faithful reproduction of the original with better graphics.

Alyx was really good (though I'm a wuss and couldn't finish it) but not a continuation of the cliffhanger that we've been sitting on for 16 years since episode 2.
No spoilers then, but the ending of Alyx does retcon the old cliffhanger.

that's semi-disappointing, if for no other reason than that they'd do it in a game so few have the ability to actually play.

I played it fine on my PC. But I have a VR headset for my PC. I'm not sure that makes it not a PC game. In the 90s you might have needed to buy a graphics card or sound card to play a game, but it was still a PC game.
All games ended up needing a GPU and a soundcard - in fact they became so necessary that all CPUs and motherboards today come with a GPU and a soundcard respectively. While VR headsets were a gimmick of the moment. (Yes I know some CPUs come with no GPU but that's because you will buy a discrete GPU which only furthers my point)

Why not make a new account? Valve is giving this out for free, partially to get people to use their program more. Why not support them in that small way at least?
You're trying to reason with a person who can't even complete a captcha.

#139It's also free until Monday (as in free to get, not just limited free play) https://store.steampowered.com/app/70/HalfLife/
Interesting. I do have a steam account, haven't used it for a long time, it doesn't seem to be in my password manager So I went to reset my password, but got thwarted by the captcha. To email me a password reset link. I think Ill just torrent it.
...how?

In his defense, the best way to solve a captcha is by pretending you are partially blind. If you actually select all the relevant squares, Google just says “nope lol go again!”.
