It's quantic physics, you wouldn't understand

>>388320019
He is Gordon Freeman, nigger.

>>388319810
Why are we still here

>>388319810
so the series will end in a cliffhanger without answers to questions like who is Gman and if Gordon is kill or if he is in the future?

To class writing, as expected of american writers

>>388321379
That wasn't the end of the series nigger that was the end of episode 3/half life 3.

they just needed to say that Gordon was trans with a last monologue on the beach with Gordon saying "My pronoun is Zhe", black screen with "the End?" words.

>obtaining nearly infinite energy is useless
What?

>>388322171
How did you come up with that theory?

>>388321761
There are good written games as well as bad written games, just like with books. However you can not compare writing of good written game to writing of good written book because vibeo gaems is an interactive medium and works differently.

>>388322171
The only thing I find ridiculous about it is the fact that the energy absorbed from the star would have to be stored somewhere for use somehow, the storage method seems like a more absurd concept than the Dyson sphere itself, how the fuck do you reasonably store that much energy?

>>388322572
And how do you transport that energy?

>>388322572
Giant solar panels

>>388322572
You don't have to store shit, if you are building a Dyson sphere, that means that your energy demands are so high, you'd maybe have to store 10-20% of what you collect with the Dyson sphere.

>>388321379
god damn you're a dumb motherfucker

>>388322171
>t. Techno-let

>>388322201
>requires nearly infinite material to build it

Damn you, and everyone who cums over thinking about this, is dumb as HECK.

>>388322743
and an insane ammount of energy to substain it.

>>388322743
>nearly infinite materials

Yea, but you get near infinite energy

>>388322743
Thank god we have a whole universe of materials.

>>388322743
its almost as if a civilization capable of building a dyson sphere would find it fruitful to invade other dimensions to exploit their resources

>>388322664
Well you cand send electricity through space as microwaves, a concentrated beam could send the enrgy from the sphere to any planet, and that is using theories created by humans current cience, one can asume that a race that can build that spere figured out something far more efficient.

>>388322743

>>388322201
>>388322276
>>388323036
>>388322943

To be fair, it is a dumb concept. Any civilisation that was capable of building it in the first place would basically already have to be at the level of technology that they basically wouldn't need it

>>388323240
This so hard. The technological requirement needed to build it would put your civilization at a level that you would had already perfected fusion to a point where you don't even need the fast energy given off by the sun, because you can create your own mini sun.

>>388323240
>not needing energy

There is no way that any future beings won't need energy to survive

>>388322572
Won't store anything, it will just power the massive VR machine that every human is plugged into. Why conqueror the universe when you can become whatever you want?

>>388323240
>>388323384
Maybe you're all just thinking a Dyson Spehere will be just poofed into existence after a 6 years project. This shit is a centuries accomplishment. And you'll have energy for billions of years.

Don't Dyson spheres also include those around artificially made stars? How small can stars be? If they don't have to be too large, it could be a pretty reasonable thing to accomplish.

>>388323972
Keep in mind that if you make a star too small, it will create a black hole

>>388323240
yeah, the ammount of energy needed to create such a vast thing would made the dyson sphere useless because the civilization would need another huge source of energy (I.E.: another Dyson sphere)
same goes for the ammount of materials needed

>>388324223
No, it won't have enough mass to "ignite" the gas inside them.
Basically, if a gas giant keeps absorving gas from the outer space, it will eventually become a small star

>mentions america for no reason

holy shit how fucking obsessed are you

Actually hang on, dorgon doesn't have a helmet on in Xen either. What gives with that?

>>388320019
I remind you that Gordon has gone into an irradiated reactor chamber expecting his suit to protect him. He obviously has a helmet.

I'd say your life is fucked already m8. Even more than it is by the fact that we go on 4chan.

>>388323240
That is the most retarded thing I've ever heard. A civilization will ALWAYS need energy in order to keep existing at a high enough level.

Can someone please explain what the fuck is going on?

So some script/concept of HL3 got leaked? But it turned out to be not 'real' since Valve is now a Platform for squeezing money out of gamers rather than a games company?

>>388325880
Head writer basically confirmed major plot points of Episode 3. But he hasn't been part of Valve for some time now.

>>388320019
The Borealis creates a dimensional bubble around itself, the ship is outside of time and space until it "lands".

Gaben is such a greedy fat fuck. Valve have so much money, could have just made the fucking game and give us some closure. The profit wouldn't have been comparable to Steam or selling hats, but how about some respect for the franchise that literally made you. Fuck em.

>>388322171

brainlets, when will they learn

>>388321379
The series wouldn't end. It would have been a cliffhanger for Half Life 3.

It's not about not needing energy, it's about having better ways to acquire it.

Also, is anybody else getting sick and tired of all these kids who have popped up that have never read a scifi book in their lives and have their minds blown by this really old concept? 'Cause I sure am.

>>388327180
Honestly, Dyson swarm is a good way of harnessing energy.
I don't see how you could make or find a way to produce as much energy as a big Star.

When he first leaked it he literally stated that it was an official script for half life 3. It wasn't until the shitshow that followed that he backpeddled into
"IT'S A F-FANFICTION YOU IDIOTS!"

>>388325880

The lead writer of all Half-life games leaked the Episode 3 story (or his notes on it at least) on his blog, basically confirming that HL3 is dead, dead, dead.

I mean we all knew it was not going to happen but now it REALLY won't happen.

>>388325415
Not him but it's not that bad. It's just that it's not even close to what it could have been.
