Dear ****,



It’s always fun to see these things happen unexpectedly, and you should consider yourself lucky and special that you witnessed a cool random moment. Surely that’s better than the same scripted moment happening over and over again for millions of players?



Yours,

Marc Laidlaw

Subject: Idea For An Alyx Zombie Interaction Animation

I Was Playing Episode One Yesterday At The Part Where You Wait For The Elevator And Zombies Swarm You And Alyx.
Then A Fast Zombie And A Normal Zombie Approached Alyx And Alyx Started Her Animation For The Normal Zombie Where She
Crouches Then Knees The Zombie Before Shooting It Just As The Fast Zombie Lunged. Alyx Ducked Under The Fast Zombie Kneed The Normal One Shot It Then Turned And Shot The Fast Zombie As It Lunged At Her Again. It Died Then Alyx Turned And The Corpse Of The Fast Zombie Flew Past Her Landing About 2 Feet Away. This Looked Really Cool And If I Had A Demo Of It I Would Attach It But Unfortunately I Had No Idea Anything Like That Would Happen. I Originally Thought It Was A Scripted Animation And Thought I Could Make A Machimina With That So I Looked Through The Source SDK But Couldn't Find It And Thought "Woah That Must Have Been Multiple Animations" But I Searched Found The First Zombie Attack One But There Wasn't Any Other Animations That Branched Off That In The Way I Saw It. I Was Wondering If This Could Be Coded Into Half Life 2 Episode 3 As It Was A Moment Of Pure Shock As I Never Would Have Expected It.

Thanks For Your Time

Why Do You Capatalize The First Letter Of Every Word?

You Have A Unique Typing Style That I Can't Pinpoint.

Well, It Certainly Confuses Me, Too.

Edit:

It seems to take forever for a reply to come. I sent an email a week ago and I'm still waiting.

[The ODST]

Yes I know my typing style is odd. The Smartness system doesn't like it either
why do you think my smartness is so low?

[nige111]

I said "Hello" to Gabe and he said "Hi" back. :3:

It's because you have an extremely unnecessary and pointless typing style that is very annoying to read.

[octavio]

Damn. Keep us posted on that anyway.

I thought that was pretty nice. I COULD have been much crueler but I held back.

[revolverV2]

Some day I think Gabe is going to explode from answering all these emails

I COULD HAVE BEEN QUITE EVIL! VERY EVIL! MWO HA HA!! BUT I DECIDED TO BE JUST A LITTLE EVIL THIS TIME! CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY

[Gurant]

I sent him a picture of me and him holding hands a couple of days ago, but he hasn't replied yet.


And this night I had a dream. That I was at a University, and he was there! And when he saw me he said "Oh, I got your picture, I sent one back aswell"

It was nice. We talked and shit

Edit:



That's the picture I sent him.

[NXT]

Wow... Gabe will probably send you a photocopy of his restraining order.

[venn177]

Thank God I used an alt email to email him.

[RetaDepa]

Lets lay off him for a little while, his blood pressure is high enough with all that cholesterol swirling around inside him.

[fragmaplas]

You guys do know he could be joking, right? Or he could be super-pissed. We may never know.




why hasn't he replied to mine yet? Mine wasn't spam or bullshit like the most of this thread, it was about a glitch in Half Life.

[Kilgore 2nd]

I sent him an email a few days ago asking how things were going and he didn't reply. I was wondering why until I saw this thread, nice going you ballbags.

[Probydoby]

Let's all mail him we're sorry 20 times. And then mail him again saying we are really really sorry!
