I know some of you have wondered why the hydra (the blue worm looking thing featured in the E3 demo in Neverprospekt picking up the combine soldier) wasnt included in the game. I was reading through my Rasing The Bar book and found out why from the man who created it Ted Backman.

Thats what the man said him self and there is more beofre it but im not typing that out. Loads of stuff like this in the book so its a must buy!!

your reply about fighting the hydry was in responce to the first post, your reply insinuated that you fought the same creature in retail taht was cut, everybody knows (even stating int eh first post) that the hydra was cut from retail but was in the E3, when you said " What are you guys talking about, i fought the hydra " you acted as though you fought the hydra in retail. then post a screen of it with a leak screen tryign to prove your case.

When you get in the sewers in HL2 (retail not beta version) doesn't the blue thing come up and then poke through one of the guys and then dissapear?..

I think I saw it in the game, but i also saw the E3 video so I cannot remember from which source I saw it sigh...

i thought it was in the E3 Technoligy Demo of HL2.

i'm sure i heard it was not actually in any version f the game, and was infact fake. put only there for thr E3 show to satisfy fans lust for more information

i think i read it on a sort of story thing about the history of HL2 on ign..... but i cant remember....

this game is great with subtitles.

You can even hear the speaches dr.breen makes all along the game, which I thought the volume was too low to understand clearly.

    • My wish list is: A trailer for Final Fantasy VII part 3 and a proper look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Not happening, but I'd kill for would be another game of any genre in the Frostpunk world and another game in the Detroit: Become Human world.
    • I tried Wino-Mail and had the same issue with it that I have with New Outlook: My two centurylink.net email accounts (one of which is my primary email account) refuse to work with either one, and sometimes refuse to even log in, even though ALL the relevant information is accurate. Thunderbird does not have this problem, so I'll stick with what works, thank you.
    • For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
