Introduction
I’m not the first to discuss this, nor the last, but whilst there are many aspects about Valve that really annoy me, I can’t help but congratulate them on their creativity. The image above (Sorry it’s not very clear!) is taken from the video below of a newly discovered weapon, from HL2 Ep1, which seems to be called the Vortex Hopwire. It creates a black hole that enemies are drawn into.
I found it via joystiq.com, who originally found it on halflife2.net.
The guys and gals over at Valve are doing a fantastic job of introducing new and exciting things to FPS gaming and I applaud them.
Cool, haven’t seen this before. It’s like a rather forceful version of the World’s Most Interesting Bomb.
Damn! It’s like that blast with missile of the Dark Beam (Metroid 2 Echoes).
Obvioulsy this works better. The other just “seems wonderful”.
