You go first. If you only share a little, everyone else shares a lot. If you share a lot, everyone else only shares a little.

I think you have to take it within the context of when it came out. CoD4 and Mass Effect came out 9 years later. There wasn't anything like HL in 98. Enemies that talked to each other and flanked you? Unseen before. Does it stand up to games now? We've learned so much since then. But I think you'd be hard pressed to find a modern shooter that didn't trace its heritage back to HL.

When did you first play it and what other shooters had you played?

Brotato is amazing. One of the best.

Why do you think that?

The phrase predates the band by a few hundred years, so probably unrelated.

It appears the band became known slightly after this comic, but there is some overlap.

If we're being technical, there's no legal right to no taxation without representation either.

But the current status is not representation either.

This is now my second favorite "cart before the horse joke".

Yeah, my client already shows the date. Now I get it twice!

Totally. Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be, the successful result of the adaptation was that birds spread their seeds instead of mammals. Until us.
