I did pretty well on the bridge! I think I only fell once. Which was not terribly pleasant.

I tried to beat the train a few times, though, and
that was much less pleasant.

Speaking of the bridge—I found
this YouTube video of someone navigating back over the bridge after turning off the forcefield while using the Oculus Rift (virtual reality headset) and the Razer Hydra (a motion and orientation detection game controller). I think my brother originally got interested in playing Half-Life 2 because he'd been following the development of the virtual reality headset and saw that it had Oculus Rift support.
There are
some funny videos of people jumping when they see antlions.

I don't blame them.

Someday I think it would be cool if they made a Half-Life game that is set in the future after the Combine has been defeated, but the alien animals they've left behind still effectively "own" the planet. The primary objective would be finding safe places and keeping what's left of the resistance groups alive. I think that could be neat.

Whaaat? It's M-rated? My brother didn't tell me that!

No wonder I've been so taken aback by the violence and gore and zombies.

If it's half as good as the Portal games are, I will have to get around to it eventually.

You should try it sometime! It's got a really well-made game. My brother and I are planning on trying Portal soon, so I'm looking forward to that.

No zombies or blood, I hope?
