8 Video Game Goons You Felt Awful For WASTING

Life sure is pretty grim for people living in the world of Half-Life 2.

Not only are they completely subject to the alien forces known as the Combine's whims, but they also have to live with the knowledge that even with their best weapons and most advanced technology they lost the war to these invaders in just seven hours. That's barely enough time to watch The Two Towers Hyper Special Extended Directors Cut Top Tolkien edition!

Yet I guess it could be worse, as you could have fallen prey to a head crab and become a horrifying creature known as a head crab zombie. No matter how you cut it, having this thing clamp down on your face and then use your body like a puppet is a terrible fate, but it's even worse when you learn that the host is actually still very much aware of their situation as characterized by their reversed moans and pleas of "Help Me".

Plus according to Alyx, they absolutely stink as well! During the game, she'll state "Ugh... that smell can only mean zombies" implying that they reek (likely of what we'll call "fear evacuations") meaning that not only would it completely suck to be forced to move against your will and kill your former friends, but also likely be able to smell and feel the faces now being rubbed between your thighs.

Rough.
