• Yesterday when I continued playing Half Life II I thought to my self that even thou this game is 4 years old + 5 years of development I am still quite impressed.
• I managed to play for over two hours (I should have studied, but since its my homework, what the heck )
o While playing I started experiencing some sort of loneliness. I guess this has a something to do with my anxiety lol
o I also observed me getting bored by simply killing same monsters over and over and over and over and over and over again. + Trivial puzzles intellectually did not challenge me in any way.

I also felt that loneliness. For the most part, the enemy are faceless...and you also spend most of your time alone, wandering around. I thought that the 2nd episode really changed that around since you spend so much time with Alyx...but you're right, HL2 is a pretty lonely experience.

I heard so much about 2nd episode that I can’t wait till I finish HF2. On the other hand I am so fascinated about this game that I can’t believe that it can get any better. P.S. I solved the “loneliness” by storming levels. There is no need for killing every single monster or wonder everywhere. It kind helps to keep adrenaline pumping.
