One you missed: in the road trip chapter, there's a spot where you have to stop to open a gate. If you jump over a certain fence, you'll find a dead body that's normally off camera. It's got a magnum next to it, laying right by the hand. The interesting detail? If you pick up the gun, it gives you 5 bullets - 1 less than a full load.

aha great story. I remember playing Half Life 2 for the first time when I was around 10. I got up to the point where you're trying to escape city 17 (near the start) and you crawl into a somewhat hidden dark gutter/alley where some supplies are. Probably because I least expected zombies to be in the game, but when a zombie suddenly came out from behind a box, I got terrified (the first zombie you encounter in the game). So terrified in fact that (if I remember correctly) I stopped playing the game for 2 years, and I finally felt ready to play it again when I was around 12. Ah, I would do anything to relive those days again

The zombie scream was never translated to spanish, my mother tongue, as the rest of the sounds and speech.
