So I unexpectedly beat Half-Life 2 this morning. I had installed it a few days ago and started playing it when I got bored filling up the Ryu Books in .hack but didn't really try to finish it. I was just playing it to play something else in the meantime. I played most of it Sunday and got up to the point I had gotten stuck at last time; I had to fight off two Hunter choppers in the courtyard of Nova Prospekt and kept getting killed because I couldn't destroy them fast enough and since it was in a courtyard I didn't have many places to hide and the longer the fight was drawn out the greater the chance to die. I played it a bit more last night and managed to get past that point so spent about 5 or 6 hours playing last night and a couple more this morning since I don't have to go into work until 1 and what do you know, I beat it.
Huh.
I purchased HL2: Episode One afterwards through Steam and I'm waiting for it to download. I'm looking forward to playing it cause it picks up right after HL2 and I'd like to see the repercussions of the destruction of the citadel on the city below.
