goatsgomoo (UID# 284) – LordSethD, that “thing” is a head crab. You need to get out more. And while you’re out, pick up a copy of Half-Life. Or just get it on Steam.

Just an observation, but I reckon someone that knows what a “Head Crab” is, would be better advised to “get out more”. I “get out” a lot and can honestly say that whilst “out”, I’ve never encountered a “Head Crab” and thus, incidentally, have never had the need, inclination nor opportunity to crowbar the fu**e r.

Wikipedia describes a “Head Crab” thus: “A headcrab (sometimes known as a head-humper) is a fictional alien parasitoid found in the Half-Life video game series created by Valve Software.” The crucial word in that sentence being “fictional”. I believe it is reasonable to assume that someone that was “out” would be a lot is less likely to encounter one of these beasties than someone that is, shall we call it: “in”. Furthermore, these creatures can only be encountred whilst “in” and immersed in a digitally created environment, that bears little or no resemblance to the real world in which we live. Need I go on with this?????
Nah. I rest my case.
Buck.
Paddle whilst I live, City ’til I die.

Yeah, seriously, LordSethD, you’re missing out on all all kinds of amazing experiences. Did you know there was actually a game out there which combined such innovative features as Mario-esque jumping puzzles, crates, grey corridors AND dark, gloomy ambiance? Seriously, Half-life is, like, the closest thing you’ll experience to being in the magical fantasy world of the basement of a warehouse at night.

Aha! Here’s a tip for all you paying customers: if you have Firebug or the like installed you can get the full size by modifying the img tag source to remove the “.thumbnail” from the filename. You can’t just hit the pic directly, though, or it still gets watermarked.

Larger version. It gets tiki-tagged, though. Not sure what's going on with the backend here :p

Why can’t I see it fullscreen? A few days ago I could see pictures bigger than this… I would really like this one bigger. Thanks. It rocks.

Dear God. Someone who hasn’t seen the light.

We must rectify this situation at all costs.
