I hate sifting through movie and comic news on IGN.  Just because I'm a nerd doesn't mean I give a shit about any of that crap.  I just care about video games.

Weird.  I guess you could just wait an extra day.  Not really a big deal.

I'd rather eat bacon made from a woman's meat. "

Have they removed the planet scanning completely?  It was sped up in one of the patches, but that applies to all versions."

You really don't need to know much of anything about Half-Life to enjoy Half-Life 2.  Black Mesa was a US research facility and some bad shit happened there involving inter-dimensional aliens.  Gordon was a researcher there, Barnie (or Gary, if you insist) was a security guard, and pretty much everybody else was a scientist there.  The vortigaunts were bad guys, but really they were slaves and now they're good guys.  There isn't a whole lot to fill in the spaces between the games.  Oh, and you left somebody's lunch in the microwave too long and it exploded.  Consider yourself filled in.
 
As for Half-Life 2, it doesn't really get good until you get the gravity gun.  I think most people praise the game so much because their memories of it are colored by Episodes 1 and 2, which are both much better than the original game.  As for ladders, if your looking up and press forward then you will go up.  If you're looking down and press forward you will go down.

If you played the first game on 360 and are happy with the decisions you made in that playthrough, then you should get in on 360.  If you want to redo some of your decisions from the first game, then get the PS3.

I never finished the original Half-Life so this is actually a nice way to get caught up.
