Life is 440 horsepower in a 2-cylinder engine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love horsepower.
Guys want a 500 horsepower car. I'd rather have one horsepower - in a horse. That's macho. You go to pick up your date and you show up on a horse.
Horses and horsepower alike are about status and being cool.
There's a misunderstanding that I've always tried to address straight on when this question comes up, which is that a 'Half-Life' story can somehow exist outside of a game. It can't. The story is created through the process of trying to figure out how to best use the features of the engine within the interesting set of constraints it poses.
I believe fuel cells could end the 100-year reign of the internal combustion engine.
I have been interested in V8s for a long time.
When the motor was completed and tested, we found that it would develop 16 horse power for a few seconds, but that the power rapidly dropped till, at the end of a minute, it was only 12 horse power.
The airplane I usually fly has 450 horse power, and it's all made out of carbon fibre - you can't break it; your body will break before the airplane does.
I don't even like old cars. I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake.
Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine.
