Haha I just showed my dearest Mother Half-Life 2.

My mother is an animal nut, none too crazy about videogames. She swung by my house tonight for dinner, and mentioned she had heard about Half-Life 2 on NPR and asked me about it.

I told her the only way to understand it, she would have to see a snippet. She grudgingly agreed.

Well, anyway, like I said, she's an animal nut, so I fired up the game and loaded "Black Mesa East" and had Mom meet Dog.

10 minutes later, she was grinning like a little kid. Her opinion of videogames changed tonight
 
I just wish dog played a bigger part in the game. Aside from the initial encounter with dog, all of the later events are just scripted. A rampage through City17 controlling Dog similar to the way you could command the Ant Lions would have been extremely fun.
 
Why didn't you show her how the pigeons slowly die and flap their wings helplessly on the ground after you shoot them w/a pistol? That'd been fun. 🙂
 
show her the lovely animals in doom 3. The part when they are all in the tanks on display like in a muesuem of trans dimensional beings

She liked the way the cyber demon dies. 😛

*spoiler?*
I found it kind of odd you have the little catch session, where you're thinking "ok at some point this guy is going to go ape-shiat and rage everyone", and then when he does its for like 5 seconds then he gets, well, owned.
