What kind of "improved graphical effects" are there?

MOTHERFUCKER. I JUST REPLAYED THROUGH HALF-LIFE 2 3 DAYS AGO. 
 
VALVE TROLLS ME AGAIN!

Sounds like a good time to finally play through all the HL2 stuff.

Even with all the masturbatory physics puzzles, I still love hl2 like nothing else.  Still looks great with the Cinematic patch, too.  I may go back and play the episodes on mac.

I came into this thread expecting a story continuation like the Portal update brought.  I leave disappointed...
