I haven't found any yet.
I'm standing on a platform after having gone around in water with a bunch of
barrels.

I haven't found any either. I'm sitting naked in my garden
throwing
pebbles at small kittens.

In hindsight isn't it just common decency to give a guy a hand.

Yes, it can be. Although I wasn't aware you were asking for help.
Perhaps you should be more clear as to where you are and what
you've tried. Don't presume people know what the hell you're on
about. HTH

Having some kind of clue as to what you are talking about would be helpful.

This was your original post:

I know its been a while since i played the game, but I have no idea what
part of the game you're stuck on... or if its even HL1 or HL2, or some
other mod...  we're not mind readers y'know!

This is a pretty helpful group and they will try to help you if they can, but:

a) Nobody is obliged to help you, and posts like your first follow-up after only
14 hours are likely to get people's backs up.  We're not sitting here waiting
for your questions.  People will read your post when they can, and will help if
they can and if they feel like it.

b) Your post was unintelligible, as several people have now pointed out.  Nobody
could interpret from that where you were stuck, or indeed whether you were
stuck.  It was completely unclear that you were in fact seeking assistance.
Phrase a question with a reasonable amount of information about your location,
which sections you have recently completed (to clarify your location - there are
many, many barrels in the game) and what your problem is, and we'll do our best.
It's an old game, and many of us can't remember what we had for tea last night,
let alone the details of a game we last played many years ago.  Help us to help
you.

Outstanding link, Peter. Never seen it before, but I'm sure going to
use it in the future. :)

Really?  I'm fairly sure that one used to get posted by Wildy every time
someone came out with a half-baked "help my computer isn't working"
question :-)

Paul... I'm disappointed. Last night I came round and cooked you
spaghetti bolognese, then we watched "Prison Break" together in
front of your gas fire. We even turned it up to 3 bars. How can
you
forget such a wonderful evening?

Was I there? My wife is complaining that I was absent for most of the
evening.

Oh, was that then?  I thought it was the night before.  My memory is going.  The
way I remember it, you were a ravishing brunette.

I waited four days and nobody'd told me what do do with it when you came
along.  I'm not gonna tell you where I am b/c for all I know you're gonna
come and take it.  I checked on the internet and it seems everyone wants to
get rid of it.  Apparently Oprah had a lot too much of it and tried to get
rid of it, but I don't think she'll tell me if I watch her show.

four days eh? Nobody told you what to do with it...those bastards.

Its ok, we dont know what it is, but you are right, if we did, we'd come and
take it.

> get rid of it.

The interenet is not gospel, you know?

Apparently Oprah had a lot too much of it and tried to get
> rid of it, but I don't think she'll tell me if I watch her show.

But, do you REALLY watch her show, or is this a ploy of misdirection? :/

Depends if you've got any to spare. And those rejection drugs can have wierd
side effects.
