clocked it at 13 hours gameplay, died about 25 times. Fantastic game from start to finish. Ending rocks, totally caught me by surprise aswell. Not gonna go into full detail but the GMAN is baaaack... and if and when your time comes again, he will make a decision for you.

HALF LIFE 3 - ETA: When it's done!!

so they kinda copied halo 2 did they, is it like a cliffhanger, oh and what happends?

Cant really copy a game thats released around the same time... company spies emailing game info from bungiee to Valve :whistle:

games can take years to make, so by the time halo 2 was out Valve changed the ending of half life 2 in less than a week ;) yea right

ah well I just finished the game on all 3 difficulties to see if the ending changes, and it doesn't. A little disapointed but leaves it open for 3. But man I was expecting a little more, like all the hints at time travel and what not. A better ending, more of what I was expecting would have been for the gman to stop what he does and enlighten us on the future (where he is from guiding freeman) and how this is going to show humans the way to time travel. Then going back and stoping alyx from going upstairs, would have been great. I was hoping to see that as the end, but guess I'll wait till 3.

yeah.. i found the plot to be very lacking, considering the hype around it i never really noticed much until the last 2/3 levels.

Yup. I have! What did you think of the ending? :/

*SPOILER*

I loved the slow motion blow out... and again G-Man as if from no where!

Damn... Didn't take as long as I thought it would... but those Striders are hard too kill

Yeah, I just finished it. 12 hours for a very experienced gamer - well worth it! The ending was a great and I found I really did care for Alyx. The pose is just so perfect! :D

The storyline is great, but it's doesn't exactly pan out like most do because everything must be told from Gordon's perspective and from where Gordon is. Go at it with an open mind and see if you're still disappointed. ;)

I just finished the game. Boy, I really wish they told us who the G-man really was. Who really knows maybe he's god. He certainly seems to be omniscient

I foundthat I also cared about Alyx especially when she went up on the roof too see if there was any other place to go. I screamed No and felt bad that i could not shoot the idiots on the roof

yea i finished it just now as well.... to tell the truth i absolutely loved the story. it kept me hooked, and kept my bloodpressure up the entire time :D. Around 12 hours here... 8 yesterday when it was released, and 4 today when i got home from work. What's takin HL3 so long.... jeez! :D

finished it in 12 hrs on hard - and was that worth ?35? nope. no multiplayer and the worst ending ive ever seen after 6 years of their work, do they expect us to wait 6 years for an ending worth its salt? half life 1 was the best game ever, but a lot of people forget that the last few levels were awful and the ending was dreadful. half life 2 could have been so much more, yet they chose to end it on another terrible note. it might have worked in a book, but it doesnt work in a game which is already a sequel.

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
