Apprehension (Briefly)

My intended long attempt at playing tonight was shortened by technical difficulties. But I did, finally ... get out of On a Rail. What I thought was to be a brief easy level turned into another two month journey.

At first I had one of my brain fart moments when I tried to back track and couldn't figure out exactly where I was to go next. I headed in what ended up being the correct direction, but thought that was where I had been. I guess that's a hazard of having such long breaks between playing.

So I left the open air area, found my way down a long ladder, into a room with some much needed ammo and on a train car that went whizzing through an area (into Apprehension) and then down into some water. I managed to quickly find my way into a tunnel and up some stairs. That's where the technical difficulties came in ... just as I'm getting a grove going, we lose our internet connection. So that was the end of my play session.

Here are a few screen shots. I'm thankful to be out of On a Rail and can only imagine what fun a level called "Apprehension" has in store for me.







Thanks as always for reading.

Man, I recently through HL again and it really is hard, much moreso than HL2. You've done really really well to get this far - keep it up :)

Also, Apprehension will really make you think twice about going in certain places ;)

Why does losing your internet connection mean the end of your playing session? It's a singleplayer, you don't need an internet connection to play ;)
