Brad and Nicks halflife-2 progress

[Nick]

Brad and I are plying Halflife 2 during lunch in coop (cooperative) using 'synergy' (a mod that allows coop play.)
Here is our progress.

I don't quite follow, but I do find it funny that you and Brad are "using Synergy," for lunch, no less!  It's such an overused buzzword that it is cliche. And therefore comical, to me.

[Cody]

Nice, nice. Speaking of Half-Life, I just bought Episode 1 and 2 literally like an hour ago online for $7. I figure perhaps I can have something of a Half-Life marathon...started playing the original last night.

[Nick]

If only you had faster internets. Then you could join brad and I's cooperative romp though halflife land.

You will like EP 1 and 2. I did anyway. Though I though they were both just a little short. 

[Cody]

Unfortunately expansions tend to be that way. I find that a bit odd really, since a lot of the time they are about as expensive as the original game. But, seeing as I only paid $3.50 a piece, shorter is okay since I hear they are actually good and help to tell the Half-Life story. We'll see though. The second one actually looked rather awesome from what I saw of it...running through a forest or whatever. Oh, and should any of you want Half-Life deathmatch you can have mine since it comes with the episode pack and I've had it ever since I bought the original Half-Life 2. Just so you know...

[Nick]

They are well worth $7 seeing as you will get more fun time then the $10 to see a movie. And you can play then again in 6 months after you have forgotten most of what happened

[Nick]

We have finished halflife 2 and have played a few of the third party maps that come with the synergy mod (most suck. Cody should make some good ones!) We will soon be moving on to EP1 and EP2.

[Cody]

Speaking of which, I actually am. Certainly not a co-op sort of thing as I have no idea how that works. But a level indeed! Should anyone actually have interest in playing it I might make a thread and make a download for it or something. Requires Episode 1 and 2 though.

[Nick]

I don't think too much extra is needed for creating a coop map. Though I am not sure what needs to be done to use it with synergy. I should look into it.

[Brad]

Nick and I completed Episode 1 today. I actually found it more fun to play through (although shorter) due mostly to the fact that there wasn't any vehicles levels which are kind of annoying in Synergy.

We're splitting our time between Half-Life and Neverwinter Nights 2 so we will be moving on to Episode 2 soon. I haven't played that yet and I'd like to before we play coop as the story line makes for a better experience when you play by yourself (cause it's a bit weird when the people address more than one person as "Gordon Freeman").

[Nick]

Playing coop ads allot of unintentional hilarity to the game Like today when I couldn't get on the  the train and it left without me.  So I was left running behind it... just to get smashed by a random gunship trying to fly into the tunnel
