Hello Forum and HL2 Thoughts...

As I was running that air boat through all sorts of places and it was getting tough, so I thought I would see if there were any forums about Half Life 2. About 4:00AM I finally stopped playing long enough to find this place.

I woke up with a Half Life 2 hangover and my first thought was to sign up and post here. So HELLO! I'm Paul from Arizona. I'm an old gamer from way back when.

I mostly play UT2K4 (ONS) until I got my fat hands on HL2. I've been an ID fan from the beginning and although I upgraded my system (that almost cost me my marriage) just to play Doom 3 cranked up, I haven't finished it. In fact, I got sort of bored and put it away. Technically speaking, Doom 3 is probably better than HL2, but as far as the fun-factor, HL2 wins in my book. I LOVE this game. I bought it last night, via Steam (no problems and slick as can be) and have been enjoying every minute of it.

I was going to post about the Air Boat level, because I was having trouble; but now I see the light at the end of a murky, gooey tunnel and I think I have this level beat.

I want to thank everyone here. You guys post some great stuff and I love that this forum has RSS (I use NewsGator in Outlook to read blogs, but didn't know I could read forums too!).

I'm off to HL2 for at least another hour or two, before I have to use the bathroom or something.

P.S. My oh my, that Avatar I picked look freakin' just like me! Seriously!
 
Thanks Farmer!

I still have the boat, but it's got to be close to being over. In a way I wish it would never end though 😛

I DO HAVE a question and it maybe lame, but why not... What's the best way to take screen shots in HL2? Just hit "PrtScn"? If so, where do the pictures end up?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

I believe F5 is the default for screen shots. Then just got to the Valve directory where HL2 is in and get the screen shots from there.

Thanks - I'll give it a shot right now.
