Most people have favorites like Skyrim or snow levels in games like Super Mario 64. Well since I'm weird af mine is Half-Life (1) on the ps2. I first played it around Christmas in the 2000's, the exact date I rented it escapes me. So this year I'm feeling nostalgic again and fired it up in PCSX2 with native mouse and keyboard support.

It's a pretty good port all things considered, if you don't want to pay Valve money or pirate a copy from somewhere. Vimm's has it in their catalogue of games.

They're waiting for you Gordon, in the test. chamber.

I do super in the summer. Fusion was my winter metroid now its that and dread. Super snd zero mission are summer metroids. Fusion and Dread have a blue vibe, Zebes feels orange

i think it's a sound thing to me, super is a fairly quiet and lower-pitched game, a warm thing for a muffled snow day
