About Me

edit

Tons of long hours of gaming on my 360, Wii, PS2, DS, Mac, PSP, Dreamcast, PS1, N64 and anything else I can get my hands on. I like shooters, but RPGs are where my passions lie. I will play just about anything though, unless its a sports title. Sports titles are okay, but I'd prefer to either play the sport IRL or just ignore it altogether. Also, racing games blow. Keep them away from me. Unless its Mario Kart. I know, it's cliche' and childish, but racing just seems boring to me unless I can shoot shells at people. I firmly believe that NASCAR would not suck HUGE if they implemented this. I'm definitely a huge tabletop gaming nerd as well.

Also, cocks.

Half-Life and Stephen King's "The Mist"
CaptainApocalypse \| 6:06 PM on 05.10.2008	16 comments

I was watching The Mist last night and it dawned on me that the events contained therein could be similar to what might have happened between Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2. Think about it. Government experiments open a gateway to another dimension and bad shit ends up coming through. Giant bugs, walkers, and a myriad of other creatures terrorize the populace. Sounds kind of familiar doesn't it? Now, I'm by no means implying that the film is a perfect piece of inter-game filler, but the major points seem to line up a little bit. I know we don't now for sure, and most likely never will, what happened in between these two great games, but I thought it was at least worth consideration. Am I crazy, Destructoid?

You know that The Mist was written in 1980, don't you?

Animated Trigger

If I remember correctly, I read that Half-Life was actually inspired by the Mist, so there's your connection.

Zombutler

You are crazy. But I find your post interesting.

@KamikazeTutor

I was unaware. Thanks for the heads up.

@Animated Trigger

That would make a bit of sense.

@RedRabbit

I figured I was crazy. Thanks for the verification.

Zombutler

This reminds me of how LOST has hundreds of incredibly coincidental similarities to The Wizard of Oz....

Really? Never read the Mist but im a great half life fan so i will try to get it...

wouldnt be great a book with a storyline between half life 1 and 2?

TheDespised

As you were already told CaptainDumbAss...The Mist came WAY before Half Life. Try some research idiot.

Or try picking up a book once in a while.

What a fucking tool.

I don't know why people are telling him it came out first. He never said it WAS in between the games, just that it had similar events to what could have happened.

PetiePal

That's the same thought chain I had a month ago when a friend and I rented that movie. I had an eerie Xen feeling of the creatures early on.

MEE

OMG! TIME PARADOX, YOU KILLED OCELOT!
