Half-Life 2: Episode One

Apparently, from what I've seen in trailers, the G-Man "loses control" in this one, so you're not acting as his employee anymore. While I doubt you'll actually have to fight him, perhaps we'll be treated to more than 2 G-Man monologues in this one. Though fighting the G-Man in a crowbar vs briefcase deathmatch of epic proportion, preferably while on a train like the one at the end of HL, jumping from world to world, with lots of burning and exploding things all around would be nice.

And the finale would be like:
G-Man: Gordon, I am your father.
Gordon: NOOOOO! *Falls off the train into a wormhole and ends up in, uh, 1942, and fights against, say, Hitler. And headcrabs. And headcrab-zombie Hitler. For Half-Life 3*

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've preloaded it, but stopped short of actually purchasing it online. I'm not sure why, I guess I just like actually having the CD itself, even though it offers no benefit as it's permanently attached to your steam account anyway.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Same here, it could have been a bit longer. Something I've noticed, though, is that on the chapter selection screen, the last chapter is titled "Coming soon" and simply causes HL2 to restart when I click the "Start new game" button.

Most amazing jew boots

Wait Starman, wah...?

Something's not right with my version then, because it cuts right after

Spoiler:

the blue light at the end of "Exit 17", then it jumps straight to the credits, at which point the game simply exits, and restart.

I suppose the part I'm missing is that last chapter titled "Coming soon" which I can't seem to play for some reason. That's weird.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah, it IS strange that Gordon's HEV suit actually ends up in Kleiner's closet. Unless the G-Man and Gordon had fun one night and in an excess of passion Gordon threw his suit out the window and... No, I'm not going there. Actually, I went too far already. The mental images. Oh god.

As for the weapons, well, the G-Man did say most of them were government property and that he took them away. It's possible he just, you know, threw them in one of the many pits of xen and didn't keep them or anything. Or he put them in his briefcase and forgot the combination. Or he figured that 300 pounds of weapons wouldn't fit under the clothes Gordon has when he arrives in City 17.

If you meant that some of the weapons from HL1 aren't seen in HL2, then we can simply assume that one of the most advanced research lab in the world has more in term of experimental weapons than a city oppressed by aliens from another dimension, or said aliens just don't feel like sharing. We do see a Tau Cannon though, but Mr. I've-got-a-Ph.D-from-MIT-but-I'm-not-bright-enough-to-rip-the-cannon-from-the-buggy isn't, well, smart enough to take the Tau Cannon with him.

I was speaking idiomatically.
