Looks pretty cool, but one downside is that the fingers all move as one so you can't flip off the combine.   :'(

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

The question is, why?

Without VR, I'd say its just an average FPS. With VR...sensational.

Some people might want to continue the story and action of Half-Life, even if the game is mediocre, without strapping TV screens to their eyes. ;)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

^ Yeah, mainly that.  If this mod runs OK I'll definitely pick up HL: Alyx on a discount at some point because I'm a big Half Life fanatic, even if it's weaker than previous installments.  I don't like the idea of having screens centimeters from my eyes.

This reminds me that I still need to play: Episode 2; Episode 1; and the rest of HL2.

...and the recent HL super-remaster that I bought last year.

I am admittedly probably not the market for Alyx anyway.  ::) (Though I did like her character in HL2 as far as I got.)
