episode 4: GHG talks Half-Life: Alyx, Steam, and virtual reality
“I was evangelised into Half-Life.” – Alex CG
Jordan, Sam, Alex P, and Alex CG talk about the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx, a VR-exclusive prequel set between Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Jordan and Alex P have never really played Half-Life but quite like VR. Sam doesn’t like VR but has played the Half-Life games. Alex CG has a lot of thoughts about the impact of the Half-Life series on the rest of video games, and might be the only one who’s… cautiously excited?
This episode contains some spoilers for the Half-Life series.
