Considering the insanity in it's structure somehow I see it as a facility that could have existed in Lost. Hell, if Lost had taken place with a bunch of survivors waking up in the bowels of the Black Mesa facility not knowing where they were it would have been even more entertaining.

Actually, I think that half-life + expansions is basically where LOST got their style from. Multiple perspective accounts of an event which holds far greater meaning than what is at face value. A little bit from everybody making up a bigger picture. Unfortunately, that form of writing must be difficult. If you want to see something like that executed really really well, watch the movie "B.A.S.I.C.", and if you want to see it executed very poorly watch "Vantage Point".

Don't be ridiculous, MNDF. Whatever his opinions on LOST may be - which he is perfectly entitled to have - it was, by all intents and purposes, a crappy idea. He didn't exactly make the 'joke' foreseeable either, did he?

[MyNameDidntFit]

... are you alright? You seem to be missing that things are obviously not serious. Like his 'idea' and my post.

You're trying to convey tone through your statements over cyberspace without any smilies to compliment them? Real classy, MNDF.

It's called reading and yes it might hurt you brain if you don't do it often. Walks away sadly as another ADD effected person can't focus long enough to accomplish anything.

I just have a problem reading long articles on the internet. especially if their in a forum post format.

You may have a point there, but I read so much so fast it doesn't bother me.
