Having only played some minuscule fraction of Half-Life 2, I may be of little use as far as information goes in pages, but I believe myself to be quite...adept, at the English language and being equipped with a spellchecker, as well as my experience with editing codes, I may be of assistance in other ways. That aside, hello. I am known as Stigma-231, though most people just call me "Stigma." I have very recently taken a liking to the Half-Life series, after going just a little further to the left from Portal on The Orange Box, and as in most games I choose to take on, I wish to know more than the average person might about the series. And so I find myself here. Some things about me? I'm a female gamer (don't get excited), having loved video games since I was little, though I've only gotten into first-person shooters within the past few years. I like to draw, write from time to time, and edit wikis, among my less obvious hobbies. I used to be highly active on Halopedia, but now my work has fallen back to rollbacking edits when appropriate. I should be easy enough to find there, if there be need to do so.
Most recently in Half-Life 2, I've been dashing about the streets of City 17, doing the best I can with the shrinking arsenal at my disposal. For some reason, I can't use the pistol, magnum, or crossbow...which greatly distresses me. I'm pretty handy with long-ranged weapons, but my hands are sort of tied now. Oh, well, I'm making do without them. But I ramble. While I admit, I'm no longer paralyzingly afraid of zombies, I can still get easily spooked by them. I can face them...but I don't like to. However, I have developed a strange fascination with the Fast Zombies. Their howls...so haunting. Their screams and growls... And how do they even stay alive? They have little muscle, no apparent organs... They're a mystery in their own right. The other zombies can amuse me from time to time-I love setting the Classic Zombies on fire-but I deeply fear Poison Zombies... Mutated masses of pain, carrying such huge arachnoid creatures on their backs...ugh. Truly the things of my nightmares. At least they're never seen without a torso! At that point, I'd have to stop playing Half-Life! However, despite whatever hardships I may run across-ranging from the Combine to radioactive waste in the sewers-in the course of the game, I'm very eager to finish it, and eventually move onto its Episodes.
In any case, I suppose that's about it. If you have any questions or comments, or anything of the sort, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for reading.
