>I can't think of anything that couldn't have been automated.
We don't even know the nature of the experiment or what exactly they were testing.
If the crystal was conductive to portal technology? How powerful it was?
So we can't really say Gordon did or didn't have more shit to do after pushing the crystal into the beam because we don't know anything beyond step one.
Think a bit about it, what would he do that a computer cant?
Do you know how long it takes to build actuators and implement them into a state of the art scientific instrument? Did you miss the part about the administrative push?
Go back to your Fortnite threads faggot zoomie. We get it, you hate the fact you can’t afford a VR and your generation hasn’t created anything as iconic as Half Life. Just get over it.
>and so they will just rush it like that when they themselves admit numerous times how dangerous it is
Solid logic.
Yeah it’s not like this has happened before. Cough Chernobyl cough Demon Core.
>This is the most prestigious facility and everything is supposed to be perfect.
That's why you see obvious toxic waste spillage during the train ride and they didn't stop the experiment even though the equipment started blowing up before it even began. Black Mesa is pretty cartoony.
Reminder that Half-Life takes place in 1998 and Black Mesa doesn't exactly follow the highest safety standards.
It's all a means to getting the game started. Of course a room of nerds making a video game about shooting aliens with a SPAS with a magic second barrel didn't think out every small detail of the fictional science experiment. op needs to chill lol
When you're a govt blacksite, OSHA can go fuck itself
Not only that but as mentions it’s not unrealistic that scientists/governments don’t take proper safety precautions with new technologies/materials.
