scariest enemy??
OK everyone says that the scarriest enemy/part is either when a headcrab lunges at you in the dark, when the garg chases you to the tranformer/electrical box or when a bullsquid chases you.
However, i found none of these parts very scary, the part that made me have explosive diarhea in my pants (SERIOUSLY) were those ichthyosaurs. I knew it was coming, too. i had that feeling, all that water..... ever since i was little, ive been scared of underwater things. I once avoided playing super mario 64 because of that eel in jolly roger bay. And the icing on the cake was in banjo kazooie when that FREAKING HUGE metal shark appeared after heading through an underwater pipe. He ended up freindly, but that didnt keep me from pissing myself.
Now back to the ichthyosaurs. The first encounter,(where the scientist gets killed) i wasnt paying attention, i cant remember why,(mother or friend talking to me?) but i was looking away from the screen, i walked straight into the water... the sound of it made me jerk my head back to the screen (i strained my neck too, it got all hot up the back and stuff....you know what im talking about). Once i saw it coming at me my fingers cringed and my back went limp. I jumped up and hit esc, then turned off my computer, and walked away in a strange state of terror.
My #2 scary moment was after you kill the tentacles and fall down the hole again, into water. I resurfaced, grabbed the magnum and went under, then i noticed that weird looking thing (I STILL DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS). It sorta looked like a huge dragon head. I was currently on the phone with a friend, at the end of a sentence. I had no breath to scream so i let go of a Hank Hill discustded scream, like: AWUUUUUUH!!!
please feel free to share your scares during your first playthrough of half life as well.
