Episode One

So, has Aftermath really been renamed? Jupix 02:11, 11 Feb 2006 (PST)

  • Apparently.. I liked Aftermath better. Sticking with a naming scheme would have been cooler for all the 'episodes'. But until we hear direct-official word I'd hold off on renaming the article. --AndrewNeo 07:50, 11 Feb 2006 (PST)
I did rename the article, if it's wrong, move it back. --Hipshot 14:10, 11 Feb 2006 (PST)

I think the new name is partly to avoid the Attack of the Colons endemic in games right now. Half-Life was just Half-Life, the sequel was Half-Life 2 (and not Half-Life 2: The Sequel) and the first episode of the episodic content is Half-Life 2: Episode 1 instead of Half-Life 2: Episode 1: Let's Get: Another Colon In: This Time It's Personal. Or something. I quite like it... —Cargo Cult (info, talk) 16:12, 22 Feb 2006 (PST)

IMO, Episode One isn't really episode one (HL2 is, or from a wider perspective, HL1 is). I think this new name for Aftermath is illogical and therefore I don't like it. Jupix 12:27, 23 Feb 2006 (PST)

Well, in computer science, things start at 0...so the initial HL2 was Half-Life 2: Episode 0 and now they're on 1—ts2do 17:45, 24 Feb 2006 (PST)

Was Half-life 1, Half-life -1 in that case?--Deadity 12:00, 7 Mar 2006 (PST)

One not 1

It should be One not 1 IMO unless 1 is official. Jupix 09:28, 7 Mar 2006 (PST)

I don't know if it was you who asked Jeff, but it's indeed "One", not "1". This article should be renamed and I'm renaming it now. --Andreasen 09:17, 19 Apr 2006 (PDT)

.....!

My friend just pointed out that this is coming out the day I graduate. It'll be like the best day in the world. Of course, now I may have to skip going, so I can play... way to go, Valve! --AndrewNeo 17:04, 7 Apr 2006 (PDT)
