Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

FREE PORTAL IS FREE - It's actually HL2:EP3 in disguise but don't tell anyone

    Did anyone else take Dog's ball with them to Ravenholme? He's a handy projectile who rolls back to you! Shame you can't take him further, he explodes when he gets wet, and you gotta swim to progress.

    In the one room with dead zombies on the tables and the big meat hooks and such, I used paint cans to kill the zombies coming up the stairs. Oh, and when I've had full health I've thrown health packs too. :D

    I thought the health packs went right through them? Maybe I wasn't aiming properly. Painting the Zombies is kinda fun.

    If I knew my head from my ass in Hammer I would get cracking on a Father Grigori mod for HL2.

    Start at the time when there were tons of refugees from City 17 coming in, then the headcrab shelling, then building the traps, then guiding Freeman through Ravenholm, then escaping into a crypt, and then finally whatever happened to him afterward.

    I read the idea in PC Gamer., yeeeears ago, when they did a special on HL2 secrets and stuff. They also had a bit on MacGuyvering a bullet-time mode.

    Ravenholme used to freak me out so much I was glad to have a little rolling buddy. Course after Dead Space I'm sure I could handle it now.

    Also, here is a gif

    The first time I played Ravenholme I got to the slow elevator being chased by fast zombies. I ran in and slammed the door shut and piled some shit up on the other side.

    Then they burst in through the skylight.

    BSOD with a new code to input to the BBS. But can't find it, it was offscreen for me. Anyone?

    Yeah, I think we'll have to rely on someone who's actually at the GDC to post a picture.
