If you've read the book you know what I'm talking about. The book refers to the combine as a harvesting tool. Half Life 2 combine and at the end harvesting. Anyone see the similarities. The dev's wanting to go for a psychadelic experience...

this was obviously a post-bong-hit kind of thought.

I'm sober but I'm fried anyway. So chalk that up to years of smearing my dna.

Well, if anything, the humans picked the name for them (Dr. Breen, rebels, etc.).

Tch, that's completely wrong! It's obviously based on the song "The Combine Harvester" by the Wurzels. That is an incredibly annoying song by the way



He kept waving a banana in front of me and calling it a female aardvark

If that was an attempt at odd humor then I rate that as a fail. Cukko's nest shares similar themes to Half Life 2. Especially in Ratchet and the harvester of people by Chiefs shizo dreams.

It's OK, I rate the song as a fail as well. However, it is apparently a comedy song.

Got to tell you, there was a game before Half Life 2 called, um, Half Life. It was based, in part, on The Mist. Maybe Half Life 2 was also partly based on it?

True, I never thought of that. Maybe I'll throw an email to valve. See if I get a response. I heard Newell reads the emails but doesn't always respond.

To me, Half-Life 2 looks more like an allegory of the State of Israel from a left-wing liberal's perspective.
