The issue is that the damn ball just loops around and gets you, regardless of where you are. And it was frustrating to have the boss use it as soon as I got back into the room.
I have a lot of patience, but after being hit by that green ball for something like ten consecutive times without making it anywhere close to his head, I decided to say screw it.
I'm cool with switching to hardcore after one runthrough.
Edit: Alright, fortunately I've still got my BloodyPuppy Bnet account. I made my character too, he's called JesusWaffle. All my character names are pastry based.
I'm definitely cool with starting up a game tonight at 9. I've got nothing going on tonight. I could probably play tomorrow night at nine too.
And we'll probably go softcore. Hardcore is where if you die once you're gone forever right? Not a big fan of that mode.
Awesome. I've tried to start up a few groups with friends this year, but all of them either have install problems, don't own it, or we ran into college related problems.
Yeah, it's 8. I guess we'd have to limit it to eight people then. Should we start a sign up list or something? Maybe have two seperate groups if we get enough or something like that.
Edit: Also it's 1 PM here.
I don't know if you've played them before, but once you get to the end of Half Life 1 (and you'll know, it's the incredibly painfully frustrating part) just youtube the ending. Believe me, I'm saving you a lot of aggravation.
