I go to the one nearest to the stairs that go up to the roof and smack him a bunch of times. Yay, I found a crowbar! Now what? It occurs to me that I could kill a lone combine and steal his gun, but they all are in the open. There are humans wandering around, one of them complained about вЂњtypical combine maintenanceвЂќ. вЂ“ Hmm, still want to get across the poolвЂ¦in the middle of the poolвЂ¦uh-oh, sniper lasersвЂ¦dammit. A warning would have been nice, like some warning shots at my feet or nose. вЂ“ I walked past some guards into an area that was restricted and was instantly plugged full of combine gun energy. It does help that IвЂ™m naturally inquisitive. Still exploring around is nice and, by the nature of the exploration, equates me with the conventions of this new world without forcing it down my throat. вЂ“ I like that IвЂ™m not given any explicit goals in the beginning. I climbed up onto the fence next to the park and smacked into an invisible wall. вЂ“ I tried to get past that pool into what looks like an elusive area. вЂ“ No reaction from the Combine guards when I stand awkwardly in front of them. This both increases my immersion and destroys the fourth wall. вЂ“ Holy shit! The parking meters are just like in Kingston. Its definitely unnerving to see the trademark Half Life 2 walls next to a Future Shop. It looks like they used the same character models, but used new landmark art with a ton of new voices. I definitely had low expectations, as I thought it would just be an excersize in modeling TorontoвЂ™s landmarks, which doesnвЂ™t count as game design at all. I definitely get a вЂњValveвЂќ feel from this. вЂ“ IвЂ™ve teleported, and someone says he recognizes me, then runs off. вЂ“ sweet, the first two minutes are exactly like in Half Life 2. So hereвЂ™s my stream-of-consciousness thoughts: I played the game for an hour (so far) and IвЂ™ve recorded my reactionвЂ™s, a la Games for Lunch.

ItвЂ™s a mod for Half-Life 2 that represents an alternate timeline where, at the beginning of the game, Gordon Freeman gets teleported to Toronto (City 7) instead of Half Life 2вЂ™s City 17.

IвЂ™ve had the install file for City 7: Toronto Conflict sitting on my desktop for a long time, but IвЂ™ve been too lazy to install it.
