Big yellow revolving thing with teleporters in it?

Each port has a number, so you can identify it again. Try going into
each one and see what happens. You're trying to go upwards, remember.

Lol...this is the exact point 6 years ago where I gave up on HL1 as there
were too many of these "jump on tiny platforms, walk along narrow beams"
puzzles....

If someone replies to this I'd like to know how far this bit is from the
end....

Actually...can u do me a favour and email me a saved file from the start (or
near) of this puzzle...I have always wanted to continue from that 6yrs ago
point but it was too far from the start...

Email it to the address I have posted this from...

Cheers!

Yeah - I found it useful to keep paper and pen handy for jotting down a
reminder.

Oh it's a *long* way from the end. As far as I recall you've not even been
to Xen yet at that point. Okay, so a lot of people didn't like the alien
levels, but to my mind they were by far the best bit.

That really amazes me...it felt like I had been playing for months solid
when I first bought it...

I completed HL2 in 3 days!

By this point I realised my l33t gaming skills were err, non-existant and
I resorted to cheating to get past it :-}

I think I remember this bit.
A short while before you get to this section, you can travel down? a level
or two and you will find a dead scientist laying in the floor in a lab.
It seems to me that he has scrawled the relevant sequence of numbers in his
own blood on the floor.
Maybe this helps?

I've just been and checked - going purply by the number of levels, the
yellow teleporter 'tree' is about two-thirds of thw way through. You're not
far from Xen now.

As I mentioned, a lot of people don't like Xen, though I'm not one of them.
Computer games are more or less about suspension of belief, and I find it
easier to believe in an unrealistic alien world than in an unrealistic human
one.

> I completed HL2 in 3 days!

I wonder, has anyone ever produced a mod for any FPS game that acts like a
pedometer?

Hotmail said it was...and because of that it wouldn't let me download
it...so I couldn't check it myself...

If I were you I'd update your virus scanner and scan your PC....

........and then send me the file again p ....why is the save file 5 meg
tho?
