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.

go subtitles ! :rofl:

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
