04:48:41 <pikhq> You know a game pisses you off when you enable god mode on it, run to an area with infinite dudes coming after you, and start mowing down people.
04:50:01 <GregorR> Sounds like good clean fun to me.
04:53:11 <pikhq> People going 'boom' is not very clean. :p
04:54:28 <pikhq> Especially when that 'boom' is the result of Tau leptons being launched into them in a continuous beam.
04:55:35 <pikhq> (the non-antimatter variety of Tau leptons; don't need the entire *planet* going boom)
04:57:02 <Slereah_> Why would you use tau leptons? Unless you accelerate them at like the speed of light, they'll just blow in your gun
04:57:27 <Slereah_> Also you'd need a collider in your backpack the size of Soviet Russia.
04:58:01 <pikhq> Never played Half-Life?
04:58:38 <Slereah_> Then, I found out that I couldn't find where to go after the exit bridge collapsed
04:58:54 <Slereah_> and I was killed by the most insidious enemy of the game so far
04:59:06 <pikhq> The Tau cannon has a very, very small particle accelerator in it. . .
04:59:18 <Slereah_> Head crabs go away in a few swoops of crowbars.
04:59:25 <pikhq> There's a vent in that entry room. . .
04:59:26 <Slereah_> The ladder, I just can't kill it.
04:59:28 <pikhq> Crouch and go through it.
04:59:39 <Slereah_> The room full of head crabs and falling computers?
04:59:49 <Slereah_> What am I supposed to do there?
04:59:49 <pikhq> That's the way to go.
05:00:01 <pikhq> There's a door in there that you need to go through, IIRC.
05:00:28 <pikhq> I'm stuck on the Blasting Pit, myself.
05:00:33 <pikhq> (only started playing last week)
05:01:38 <Slereah_> I wasted quite some time exploring, chatting up and screwing with equipment before the big experiment :D
05:01:49 <Slereah_> But in the first HL, it seems people were grumpy.
05:02:08 <Slereah_> "Weren't you supposed to be in the something something like half an hour ago?"
05:03:03 <pikhq> God mode makes the game very, very amusing to go through, BTW.
05:03:29 <pikhq> "Hmm. Let's kill the Vortigaunts with a crowbar."
05:03:31 <Slereah_> First, I'll try actually doing it
05:03:49 <Slereah_> Plus, maybe I'll finally get to go to the bar with those security guards
05:04:03 <pikhq> I only use God mode up to where I can get to without it; just kinda cheap, otherwise.
05:04:11 <Slereah_> If I save the universe, I damn expect some free beers
05:04:31 <pikhq> So sorry, but you'll be shot for your efforts. :p
05:05:13 <Slereah_> I doubt it. I have Half Life 2 on some CD.
05:05:27 <Slereah_> I might only have HALF A LIFE LEFT
05:05:36 <Slereah_> But he's still alive for the second part!
05:07:18 <pikhq> I've died so many times there. . . :p
05:07:20 <Slereah_> Plus, it's a good game to prepare me for the life of a physicist.
05:07:53 <pikhq> He's a theoretical physicist hired as menial labor; surely you had picked up on that?
05:08:04 <Slereah_> Riding trains in secret underground labs, getting yelled at by an army of scientist clones (one Einstein and one black), hitting aliens with crowbars.
05:08:17 <Slereah_> I picked that up from his wikipedia article
05:08:45 <Slereah_> But if I had that awesome suit, I'd push their goddamn cristal loads all day
05:09:56 <Slereah_> There's three suits, technically
05:12:39 <pikhq> You'll note, if you go back into the locker room, that the two other suits disappeared, though.
05:13:16 <Slereah_> I think they were never there.
05:13:50 <Slereah_> Maybe they're back at tech support?
05:13:51 <pikhq> I guess they took the suits to their dorms?
05:17:00 <Slereah_> What surprised me the most though.
05:17:15 <Slereah_> Has ammo clips and the American flag in it.
05:17:32 <Slereah_> You'd think they'd keep crazy rednecks out of top secret research facility.
05:17:54 <pikhq> You'd think, but you'd be wrong.
05:17:58 <Slereah_> Sure, I was glad to find some ammo, but still.
05:18:19 <Slereah_> I was also not sure why the crowbar was lying around.
05:18:30 <Slereah_> It's not the most used tool in a lab.
05:20:00 <pikhq> Still, it's the quintessential Half-Life weapon.
05:20:30 <pikhq> And it's a hell of a lot more plausible to find a crowbar than, say, a chainsaw. :p
05:20:53 <Slereah_> Yes, but you know, there's probably a more reasonable weapon to find.
05:21:05 <Slereah_> Like a screwdriver or a hammer or something.
05:21:06 -!- Judofyr has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)).
05:21:27 <Slereah_> Or a big piece of concrete, since he's in that awesome suit.
05:23:16 <oerjan> O_O http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_the_Headless_Chicken
05:23:32 * pikhq treats it like a headcrab
05:24:11 * Slereah_ read the link as "Mike the headless chick"
05:25:02 <Slereah_> The worst part is that he decided to keep it alive.
05:25:17 <Slereah_> A more merciful individual would just have smashed it with a sledgehammer
05:27:06 <pikhq> Make it a headcrab zombie.
05:27:35 <oerjan> We may hope the parts that could feel pain were already gone
05:28:03 <pikhq> According to Wikipedia, the headcrabs don't actually need a full *head*. . .
05:28:35 <pikhq> The Zombines from Half-Life 2, after their headcrabs die or bolt, can be seen headless.
05:29:25 <pikhq> oerjan: The bird only had a brainstem.
05:34:34 <Slereah_> Is it called Black Mesa because of all the affirmative action going on?
05:34:43 <Slereah_> There's like 20 identical black guys in there.
05:35:48 <oerjan> if they're identical, they must be clones, right?
05:36:02 <Slereah_> All the workers here are clones.
05:36:16 <Slereah_> I think there's only four different guys.
05:36:42 <Slereah_> The security guard, the black scientist, the old scientist, and the other old scientist with Einstein hair
05:36:54 <Slereah_> Plus Gordon Freeman, but I never saw him so far, no mirrors.
05:37:25 <oerjan> so not actually Einstein himself? there might be some DNA around somewhere...
05:38:05 <Slereah_> Well, there's no need for Einstein when you have Gordon Motherfucking Freeman.
05:40:05 <Slereah_> http://macrochan.org/source/Q/H/QHBND2O6B4ZKYRFAMOYNLFPUYMGOCYST.jpeg
05:40:27 <Slereah_> Fact : Gregory House is Gordon Motherfucking Freeman.
05:44:43 <pikhq> Fact: Gordon Freeman owns
05:44:54 <pikhq> With a crowbar, no leass.
05:45:28 <Slereah_> I just can't wait to doom the earth, just so that I can enact my Half Life nerd fantasies.
05:50:18 <Slereah_> It's not you computer scientists who can claim a man's man!

15:01:04 <Slereah-> But for some reason, I can't get past the first step
15:02:15 <Slereah-> Is it actually possible to finish this game?

15:06:55 <ehird{> just don't stop going to the right when you drop down
15:07:05 <Slereah-> Can you actually get there before the crushing?
15:07:13 <ehird{> Slereah-: Just hold down right before walking off.
15:07:36 <ehird{> Slereah-: Don't jump off
15:08:17 <Slereah-> Oh right, it stops before the end.
15:08:44 <ehird{> Slereah-: Oh and to use the WUSS/SAVE point shoot it

15:10:01 <ehird{> Slereah-: Your double jump skillz come in handy here.
15:10:25 <Slereah-> I don't play games just because they're horribly hard and frustrating.
15:10:32 <ehird{> Slereah-: Oh, don't worry. It's not.
15:10:37 <ehird{> Slereah-: the levels are very well designed.
15:10:49 <ehird{> Slereah-: It actually stops being frustrating just because dying is so common
15:10:55 <Slereah-> Does that invalidate anything I said? :o
15:11:00 <ehird{> Slereah-: But yeah, there's a lot of thought put into it. It's just a bitch at first.
15:11:08 <ehird{> Slereah-: And yes -- it isn't just being hard for the hell of it
15:11:42 <ehird{> Slereah-: Oh, by the way, after the wuss point ... Watch out for that last stpe
15:12:02 <ehird{> But don't worry, dying puts you back at your wuss poitn
15:12:40 <ehird{> Slereah-: Hahahaha, have you stepped off yet?
15:12:44 <ehird{> I don't think GOOD comes in to it..
15:12:48 <ehird{> Nobody will get that first time
15:12:55 <Slereah-> I've got exams in two days, I don't really want to play.
15:13:09 <ehird{> IT WILL RELIEVE ALL YOUR STRESS!
15:13:55 <Slereah-> That's what porn and adventure games are for.
15:15:59 <Slereah-> Adventure games are the opposite of a giant slab of spiky metal crushing you.
15:16:20 <Slereah-> You can just chillax as there's no time requirement
15:18:53 <ehird{> Slereah-: Oh hai, you've never played space quest V
15:19:04 <ehird{> TIME POLICE, ZOMBIES, AND ROBOTS. THEY'RE ALL OUT TO FUCKING GET YOU AND YOU SHOULD HIDE BEHIND SOMETHING **NOW**

23:18:01 <ehird{> Sgeo: A fax sent to fermilab out of the blue.
23:20:01 <RodgerTheGreat> basically, a huge block of ||, | and ||| (which I am quite disappointed to discover is in no way a huffman-encoded message with the key stored in the next thing), a strange set of what appear to be hex digits and odd symbols, and then another block with just | and ||.
23:23:14 <RodgerTheGreat> I think the author of that article is off his rocker if he thinks 12 bytes worth of hex is something meaningful in assembly
23:24:04 <Sgeo> Is there any chance that if it's not solved, the original sender will send the solution?
