whats with the numbers falling of the sky?!

and why?

[kaargen]

@PivotStorm It's not really explained.

[nefets99]

hl2 needed? or would a source game like hl2:dm work?

[kaargen]

No, you need the full HL2 game.

Later, you'll see that washing machine motors are to be feared.

The numbers falling out of the sky are a big slap in the face to Pythagoras, who couldn't account for them in his whole-number-ratio scheme. You can try to ignore them, if your ideology prevents you from accepting them. But still, they're there, and you're fooling yourself if you can't rethink your ideology to include them. Then again, I may be too high, and reading more into this than a sober person would ever do. To that I say, HA.

The Pythagoreans believed that there was no number that could *not* be described as a ratio of two whole numbers. Unfortunately, eventually one of their own discovered that they were quite wrong. There are an inconceivably vast number of irrational numbers (like pi, which never end). I loved this mod and that's the way I understood it. In math, the irrational completely dominates that rational. This was the basis of Cantor's hierarchy of different orders of infinity. Fascinating stuff.

Allright, who divided by zero >:(

I know it has something to do with Triangles... fucking obviously. I mean, the Pythagorean theorem was created by the greek mathematician pythagoras, stating that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. It's used to find the missing sides of right triangles.

@ReconUnitZero I know. This mod was genius. Too bad Valve had to mess it up. "Don't fix it if it's not broken". A nice quote to Valve. Making an update to solve minor issues, can resolve in major issues.

@Beardactal Same here, it's probably cause that now the Half-life 2 is using a new source engine from that Mac compatible update back in May, the old vcd scenes from the old source engine are not recognized.

I find it odd that Valve was all about allowing 3rd Party content mods and then after this they've done absolutely nothing to resolve the problem since most HL2 mods don't work properly or at all.
