Black mesa keeps old school vibe with better graphics and funy dialogs.

I've had the Orange Box since it came in a physical orange box. Good stuff
But yes, I was a teen when HL1 came out so you can take a guess how "old" that might make me. I am also old enough to follow simple conversations. Can you say the same
BTW, you might be older than I am if you are still ending trolls in "/shrug." This ain't Usenet.
At least his (our) generation has all of the real estate, cash, and knows about sex.

I really wish I had chosen a better username. I had no idea it would become the center of my PC gaming life.

Not sure, love the game but haven't played in a few yrs
It looks like they shutdown the PS3 servers but PC ones are still running.
Yes, it's only $1. Buy it to not have to deal with the crashes of the pirated copy so you can actually enjoy the game and feel good that you're supporting game developers in the process.

Actually, some older games did tie the engine - and thus in-game movement - to the frame rate. Quake did, for example, and would play smoothly in slow motion if your computer wasn't fast enough. Some of the Need for Speed games did too, and you could get them to play in ludicrous speed if you removed the 30 fps cap on a modern computer.
But I don't believe Half Life was one of them. Messing up the movement speed in a recent patch seems pretty careless - I can't believe that didn't turn up in internal testing.

But to be clear that is NOT what am talking about here. I am referring to the built in default* movement speed that is the equivalent to 25 mph per Valve in a recent interview (which I mentioned). A complaint that is a quarter of a century old. At 1 fps or 1000 fps.
*there is a 'walk' button in HL but it is a hold not toggle. On the Steam Deck this is an easy fix (you can make any button press a toggle, turbo, etc) but on a normal PC you have to install 3rd party software to change actual keyboard behavior. Also, there are mods to fix the 'issue' as well however I am only talking about HL in the vanilla configuration.

You have the dates wrong. HL2 was released in late 2004. This came later.
