What was the thing at the end? Looked like the spores had no effect.

A Warrior/Commander Bug I think. I'd assume the thing is more intelligent than the smaller ones, and thus able to recognise a human-shaped object, even if it does smell like another commander bug.

I haven't been following HL2. What's all this bug crap? I WANT HEADCRABS DAMNIT.

You'll get your headcrabs. More than one variety as well, I think. Anyway, the bugs are Starship Troopers-esqu monsters that you are occasionally able to control by using pheromone spores picked up from a bug corpse.

Bleh. Don't get me wrong, Alien Bugs of Doom can be fun in games, but its beginning to become overdone, like hero-based RTSs. The AvP games, Natural Selection... they're fun in their own right but... Half-Life! Xen, not Super Bugs :evil:

OMG SOMEONE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE ME!

I was at my mom's house, so I think I have an excuse :D

Downloading media now, I will say more when I see it.

Just one feature out of many, buckaroo. You might as well bash HL2 for its use of the English language... "it's so overdone"...

My Steam decided to die on me, and won't launch the video. I will let it run for a bit, see if it does anything. If not, I will just reeinstall.

EDIT: Never mind, after I launched it a third time it's downloading...
