But in terms of approaching that sandbox environment, And learning that you can do things.
En1gm4ticGUEST
The most obvious example in Half-Life is when you arrive in Ravenholm, you see a zombie cut in half.
En1gm4ticGUEST
It's like a torso of a zombie sitting on top of a saw blade embedded in a wall.
En1gm4ticGUEST
And then with your physics gun or your gravity gun, you can pick that out of the wall and you go, oh, I get it.
Nick AkermanGUEST
that's awesome i love that that sounds cool yeah but yeah like sorry half-life like one of the scariest things to me is that you know you're quickly up against humans like that's really scary to me that's that's that's awesome love it
Tyler OsbyHOST
Half-Life 2, I think, is my first experience with what I would call a horror thing, because the Ravenholm level is in the demo for Half-Life 2.
Tyler OsbyHOST
And I remember playing that as probably 14, I think, when that stuff dropped.
Tyler OsbyHOST
So I was like... uh, sort of beat, like becoming a real human and finding out what I liked and what I didn't like.
Tyler OsbyHOST
And I realized I did not like it, but I did kind of like it.
Tyler OsbyHOST
I was like, this is, I'm like, I feel scared and I kind of enjoy that, but I'm not sure why.
Tyler OsbyHOST
Um, it's a very formative experience for me, the Ravenholm.

And he's always like, people are actually going it's just him sort of reenacting the plot of the game but doing sort of gentle little jokes at each step of the way like you know when you're in the beginning the guy's like don't drink the water in the comic he goes don't drink the water it's $2.95 a bottle like little things like that it's cute like bad magazine gags he goes to Ravenholm and he's like oh I'm not a zombie this is just an oversized hat it fell over my eyes come on in It's a cute thing.
