Doug Lombardi Talks with Kikizo

[CSN NewsBot]

Doug Lombardi is adding more coal to the engine to keep the hype train strong for Episode 2. This time talking with Kikizo about Episode 2. The interview goes into detail about the planning stages for Half-Life 2 and the future use of DirectX 10 technologies, not to mention the cliffhangers!

Kikizo: It's popular in a lot of entertainment to have big shocks like major characters suddenly dying. Are you planning any surprises story-wise that the fans won't be expecting?



Lombardi: Yes. Haha. By the time you get through Episode Two, at least one person that you've... that has been a colleague of yours for a while, will no longer... be moving on.

Let ze speculation begin! The interview is three pages long and starts off with this picture:

With an opening picture like that, you just know the interview is going to be great!

I know who dies.

gordon dies



Actually the real spoiler is:

Eli will lose his other leg and will be forced to go into a wheelchair. He won't be "moving on" anymore, but "rolling on", GET IT? SEE WOT I DID THER? loL

[woah]

It's a shame it won't be Alyx.

Given from the way he talks, instead of saying 'die', it's probably going to be dog.

[Gpig]

I hope it's dog. Dog is the only bad thing about Half-Life besides the lack of ingame ads.

After all he did for you..

[entRo]

Dog should explode and kill Alyx, and then Randy Savage will appear in a pop-up in your screen and go "SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!"



And then Valve will charge $10 extra for their products.

[Thortok2000]

Another possibility that occurred to me was the combine taking over and/or stealing dog's technology and converting him into an enemy instead of an ally. *shrug*



Either way, I'm betting on dog, just from the way he spoke.



Of course, all the trailers and stuff lean towards Alyx being seriously wounded. I figured there was gonna be some kind of resurrection/healing done by the vortigaunts, but it might be she that dies.

I think..CS-NATION should change to STEAM-NATION



More correct..since there is nothing new on the CS/CSS front...i guess u could update the page like once/month if it would be all about CS.

ohhh.forgot..who will die...the CRAB!

BLASPHEMY, LAMAR WILL NEVER DIE.

guys, I'm getting lamar tattoo'd on my bicep (it's a small tattoo). what lyrics should i put above it? below it i'm going to have L A M A R in fancy font, like the RIP font on tattoos. it will match my aaliyah back tattoo (gone 2 soon)



i'm thinking one of these:

-No Regrets

-Regrets

-they're waiting for you, mr gpig, in the test chamber

-racial slurs



if i get no regrets i can always cross out the "no" at a later date and if get a racial slur i can always show off my tat in the prison photo for a hate crime. like say i burned down an orphanage i could show my pic of lamar with my now relevant "Orphaggot"

[-:Nighthawk:-]

I'm voting for either Barney or more likely one of the docs... they don't serve any critical element to the story, and between "person" and "colleague" I don't think D0g really fits the picture if Doug's wording was accurate.



That's not to say that I wouldn't like to see that annoying robot die instead of briefly appearing to move objects rather than being my constant companion of pure combine pwnage. D0g's brief combat moments were a heck of a lot more effective than Alyx was, for sure.



All hail Lamar the beakless headcrab, the recently nominated de facto standard in hate-crime propagation and general mayhem.

how about "Rise and shine mr gpig.. rise and.. sh-shine."

[Gpig]
