Strider Mountain will be released at 5:00PM tomorrow. (I stress this is just from a dream and I am in way suggesting this is true – in fact I haven’t heard from the SM guys in a while and I am sure they would have told me and I therefore wouldn’t have told you about this part of the dream. Phew.)

I was playing SM and there is a scene where there is a stampede of some animals, fast zombies I think. Hundreds and hundreds of them. Killing everything in the path. I had to block the door of where I was hiding. I also remember thinking that it’s cool that I can use a chair under the door knob in the Source engine.

Later I emerged to find medical personnel tending the wounded. It seemed to be some kind of war against the zombies. Not just a little battle but a full on war.

I got on a train and viewed the carnage and I remember thinking that these were some great level design that I was missing and hoping I got to backtrack.

And the last one was me and Mel washing rusty spoons and talking about how we disagree on many things. In this one there were lots of other things going on, not related to HL.

Weird, huh?

I don’t remember them all, but I’ve done it many times.

in my dream i got hired and it was awesome

That’s a FREAKING AWESOME idea! Somehow GLaDOS managed to transfer her consciousness into a Citadel’s computer and starts to exact revenge on Humanity.

Why thank you! I guess I can only claim partial credit though as it was my warped subconscious that came up with most of it!

It’s got me thinking now. Maybe GLaDOS’ AI has somehow been incorporated into the Combine’s Overwatch AI. Remember the Overwatch announcer voice has the same actress as GLaDOS, suggesting that they may indeed be linked. Then again, she is also the announcer in Team Fortress 2 so it may just be meaningless. If Portal is set before HL2 then it might give us some sort of clue as to what has become of her remains.

Anyway, I’m getting way off topic here.

I had a dream where I lead a team of my classmates who were heavily equipped SWAT-like grunts with short assault rifles (G36C, HK416, M4A1) into a train with people being attacked by headcrabs (and zombies). It was midday and the people attacked were also my classmates. I had an HK416 and was the one who went in first immediately shooting some headcrabs and zombies with quick precision and accuracy, glancing at the victims, and leaving the train to let my team finish off the job (there were still some zombies left).

It was kewl. I felt real badass…

I once had a dream where there were multiple test subjects in Aperture.

That’s an interesting idea. Has anybody suggested the concept of a team-based Portal game?

I had this nightmare about being subjected to a drug raid under false pretenses

Oh Dear! I hope you now hide your drugs better than before!

Not sure what the objective was, but cool none the less.

To stay alive for as long as possible, I would think.

I could also hear GLaDOS making announcements over the city, so maybe these soldiers were actually controlled by her…? Interesting thought, eh?!

That’s a FREAKING AWESOME idea! Somehow GLaDOS managed to transfer her consciousness into a Citadel’s computer and starts to exact revenge on Humanity.

That’s a killer mod/game idea.

I almost forgot it because immediatly after I had this nightmare about being subjected to a drug raid under false pretenses. Strongest, most visceral dream I have had in a while. I almost forgot the first one, the second one was so overpowering.

Most of my game dreams involve me not being able to do a crucial action, like shooting, jumping, crouching. always annoys the hell out of me.

i never have a hl dream but i do with other games

Weird.
