I put in a preorder to get HL1DM:S, though I've actually yet to "play" that beyond taking a gander at the maps.

I just noticed something whilst looking at some media:



The building with the small metalic dome, just right of the citadel looked somewhat familiar. At first, I didn't give it much thought, but then it occured to me that I had seen it before:



Interesting coincidence.

I voted "I'm in doubt." I recently developed carpal tunnel syndrome (due to marathon gaming with horrible posture), so any gaming I do is in very short bursts of about 10-15 minutes with much longer periods of resting my wrist in between (ie not really worth the time or effort). I'm also just burnt out on FPSes and not really interested much in games anymore TBH. If it weren't for those factors I might get it, though it doesn't look like it brings much (if anything) really new to HL2, just a continuation of the story (which I never finished :P). If someone writes a Half-Life novel I'll probably buy that.

@Andrei: what building is that?

It's in Hiroshima, one of the few buidlings left standing after the abomb was dropped.

Good eye Andrei.

I voted I'm in doubt, because while I would like to keep up with the HL series, I'm not as pumped about this episodes arrival as I was about HL2.

I still have to get around to playing Lost Coast sometime.

There's relatively little hype. I like that. I'd love to see some solid, old-school HL gameplay that's not really worth a superlative but has a lot of atmosphere and interesting scenes. I'm not sure about Alyx. I think' she'll start getting on my nerves somewhere in the game.

I hate to sound like an ignorant american here - but want that building designed by an american archetect? - as well as the other few buildings left standing?

AFAIK it was built by a Czech architect called Jan Letzel (i think).

I think the dome looks like the Overwatch building.

Which, incidentally, was probably designed by a Czech architect <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

I pre-ordered it yesterday. I was going to get it anyway, so 10 % pre-order discount got my capitalist ass on their side.

Im excited, but only for the story and possibility of learning more about the combine and g-man. From what it looks like in the three teasers, it looks like they are really going to over do Alyx. I mean "Alyx: cool under pressure" I mean it's so obvious they are trying to make her cool, if thats the right word for it. I would also think its that it seems like they are trying to make her seem more attractivem and they are rubbing it in to a point that it's painfull.

I just really hope they dont just stick her in there as something sexy to look at while fighting, that would just ruin it.

Honestly, I think Valve is just having a little fun with their character. It's actually better that they play it off a little humorous and tongue-in-cheek. In this way, they are able to give her some character and spotlight, without shoving the sexiness down our throat. If anything, Valve has always been able to nail the perfect 'tone' with thier characters and like most great movies, always manage to deliver a fiction that is serious, yet sprinkled with enough comedy to not drown in it's own drama.
