I am reading 1984 by George Orwell for school and it really reminds me of HL2. I keep picturing scenes from the game as scenes of the book.
Any way i just thought i would let you know.

Yeah, talk about cultural illeteracy.

Oh, and it's the other way around, hl2 reminds you of 1984. 😛

That is no excuse.....people need to read this book in the womb so they can decide for themselves whether or not they really want to come out.


By the way, for those almsot interested, but not quite set on reading it, it is truly the coolest look at Communism and other evils I have yet to read....

Dude..you have to finish it...great ending....
 
Technically Halif-life 2 should remind you of 1984 since 1984 was out waay before HL2.

And you're a dumbass for just noticing the obvious. Since 1984 was the inspiration for countless big-brother type stories. Dumbass.

Communism isn't evil, the implementation of the theory has always resulted that way.

Ignorance is basically what the book is about....the ironing is delicious*

Well of course. You are 100% correct. If anything true Communism is paradise, but it is not plausible. .....I am merely speaking simply about the circumstances in the book...
