    Ok, so I installed Steam anyway and downloaded this, but it just freezes right when the bugs rush into the room with the gun turrets, and then I get a little advertisement for "bink! bink! video" and it exits the movie. Is this normal...? It's 62MB.



    Edit: Damnit it's doing the same thing for the tunnels video, but it only plays for less than a second. And its like 3.9MB, but I spent half an hour downloading it (1Mbps DSL)...



    Edit2: WTH - I delete the 3.9MB tunnels .exe, open it again in steam, and it makes a new tunnels.exe that's about 8MB, except it didn't download anything new. It also plays for a few more seconds before freezing. Deleting it again and playing it doesn't give a further gain in size.



    Edit3: I did the same thing for the bug video, it gains a few mb and plays for a few more seconds but still freezes.



    Edit4: Now when I try to go to HL2 Movies it says "This game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time." Next time, they should try disabling downloads before they decide to corrupt them.



    Edit5: HAHA ALL GAMES ARE UNAVAILABLE <3 STEAM



    Edit6: Ok, now steam gives me a fatal error when I start up. I hope the people who program Steam aren't helping program HL2.



    Edit7: By sheer luck, I just kept restarting Steam and on the 5th time it starts giving me a Steam Update. All of this bullshit for a simple patch, my god. (I still can't play CS, it says it's preparing to load it or something and then it says the game's unavailable. Steam truly is the new revolution of game distribution.)
    In short u know too much without knowing anything young padawan, dont fuck about with it, n it will work....

    Wow that rocked

    Finally a game that requires more than half a brain... there is some sick strategy in this game... i love it...



    Y didn't he just use his scope?



    And y the hell did that thing kill him at th end? Sure everybody cant be your friend, but he had the lure in his hands...
    Ah well my theory is the little bugs were male, and therefore he was using, queen pheromones to get them out... Obviously their real queen wanted to check the rival, u have the pheremone on you so it thinks YOU are, well freeman is. In nmature the females of bug like creatures are usually bigger, hence my summations..



    Thats my take on it, n im pretty proud of it, as I ws explaining it to my gf, who looked on in bewilderement, 'it looks too scary for me, oo flying little thingies n head crabs. warrrgh'

      In the original Gamespy video, at the beginning of this scene you can hear the commentary "Some of the less-intelligent aliens can be fooled into thinking you're their commander if you have the right pheremone."



      Obviously the big alien wasn't one of the less intelligent ones.



      And yes, other people are noticing that Steam still needs a lot of work. If/when they ever get it all straightened out, though, it'll rock.
