Better late than never, Happy Birthday Half Life 2 #HL2-20 . To me you are more than just an old video game, to me it is art and I have enjoyed every moment playing and interacting with everyone I meet regardless if negative or positive because I know that the other person probably enjoys the game just as much as I do. Thank you valve for making something that I can be passionate about and use to make good memories and or feel like at home again. It has been a long ride and I am here to stick it through till the end. My story discovering HL I was about 7-9 years old and was already introduced to Halo 2 and other games at the time and I was starting to get into pc slowly with minecraft, and one day just went to fry's and saw The Orange Box but on the other hand I saw Aliens vs Predator and I was a huge fan of xenomorphs and etc so it was enticing, but I ended up biting the bullet and going with The Orange Box and went home and before I knew it I was sucked in to a different world with countless hours playing the campaign and its episodes as well as portal and running around the map picking up everything possible, throwing or stacking stuff and so fascinated with the engine and its possibilities and perhaps the best decision I ever made.
