Today we have a little synergy for you. Specifically, the Synergy mod for Half Life 2. Will and I played parts of Half Life 2 yesterday, so here’s some highlights (and some lowlights).

syn1

Here, we meet up with Barney, the security guard from Black Mesa in the original Half Life. What do Will and I do to greet him?

syn2

We chuck stuff at him.

He finally got fed up with us and sent us on our way.

syn10

Will ticked off the Combine a few times.This was one of those times.

syn11

Will! I’m up here!

 

syn12

While we ran through an apartment building, I showed Will one of the simpler pleasures of the game.

syn13

No more TV…

syn14

… for you!

syn15

Will and I decide they didn’t need any of their furniture that wasn’t nailed down. However, at this point the server crashed and we had to restart. I voted that we reboot in Ravenholme, and Will agreed.

syn16

This is the creepiest part of the game, bar none.

syn17

I HATE these fast zombies, they give me the creeps.

syn18

I hate their head crabs, too. Not as much as the poison ones, but I still hate them.

syn19

ACK! Will accidentally tossed a grenade at my feet to take care of the head crab. That’s a little dangerous!

syn21

Here Will pelts another zombie with his shotgun.

syn22

Cornered in a small room, waiting for an elevator, we had to fend off zombie waves.

syn23

OMG!

syn24

HELP HELP HELP HELP

syn25

Ah, thank you.

syn26

Ooh, gas tanks on the floor between us. I shouldn’t really shoot those.

syn27

But I do anyway.

syn28

We head down the elevator at last.

syn29

Oh no, that’s not creepy at all.

syn30

Here I use a grenade to deal with a hulking poison zombie.

syn31

No! A poison head crab!

syn32

No #2!! I’m dead. Dammit.

syn33

Crap. Good luck Will. Hold out until I respawn!

syn34

I’m back! Woot!

syn35

Here we charge down a road towards God-knows-where.

syn36

 

Yes, I found health! Now I’m certain to live for a long…

syn38

DAMN YOU POISON HEAD CRABS!

syn39

DAMN YOU TO HELL!

syn40

It’s up to you now Will.

syn41

Aw crap. You found poison head crabs too I see.

syn43

And a HUGE FREAKING POISON ZOMBIE! Will, watch out!

syn44

Damn. We’re both dead.

Ok, that’s it. If the game won’t play right and let us win,  we’ll have to come back to this another time.
