What are some stories about the glowtail? Memorable glowtail stories, wild encounters, and fan fiction.
I saw Blitz, a family friendly YouTuber play half life Alyx. I don’t understand why, but he also played world war z and somehow managed to make it not seem as violent as it actually is. I would recommend that video if you want to see some gameplay, but I haven’t watched it in a while. Also the level he played was “Last Bastion” which is the final level of marseille and the final level in the campaign.

Finally finished Black Mesa (remake of Half Life). It was good, but gory and hard. The final battle against the Nihilanth was a nightmare. I mean, I saw it and went ‘GIANT ALIEN BABY’. I mean, it had a lot of similarities to a baby. It had insane powers, lightning bolts, shockwaves, other stuff, it was mental. But I’ve finished the nightmare now. I’ve already played Half Life 2 and it’s expansions, and Half Life Alyx, is VR only, and it’s a horror game with zombies and stuff, so it would probably freak me out. I might be too young anyway. Oh well, I’ll just replay the halo games...

The Terminator films are much more violent then World War Z then, seeing that there’s no nudity, drinking, or smoking, but blood and gore. From this point on, I’ll explain what you can see in some missions and can do to the zombies.
To the zombies, you can shoot their limbs off, but you can’t cut them in half for some reason. On some levels, (looking the last Tokyo level and first New York level) you can find some corpses that are missing a head but have a opened body that is hollowed out. It also has a lot of swearing, way more than it should, but you can go to settings and find dialogue volume to disable it. You don’t get to see anybody getting ripped apart or anything, but the zombies scratch you. The Lurker, which is a special zombie is scorched, so you can see his skull and some of the shoulders still ignited in the ashy shoulder pad, but it isn’t burning. The Bull, another special zombie, you can see a bit of his spine if you walk behind it, but nothing else except for him being the most annoying zombie. Infector zombies aren’t violent, they just spit at you and you have to quickly cure yourself. Gasbags zombies are another special zombie, but they aren’t really that violent either. It’s basically just a zombie in a hazmat suit puffed up by poisonous gas that if you step in, you start taking damage. And then there’s the screamer, and I hate those things. They aren’t really violent but they sure are loud. It looks something like this:
A builder who is infected, with a megaphone hardwired to its mouth, and the zombie is screaming at the top of its lungs. And that’s the screamer. They are loud, you can hear them from a good distance away, but just kill them. They attract zombies and are loud. That’s about it for WWZ, (World War Z) no bosses but it’s still fun.

The movie ratings go like this:
G, suitable for all ages (I find most G rated movies boring)
PG, around 5-6 or over, which stands for parent guidance
PG13, parent guidance, and usually for teens (Usually Marvel movies are rated PG13, but they aren’t that violent)
And then R, only for 17+ and over, most likely contains adult content or violence.
Then I have seen or heard of “NC17” which means only for adults. So R is the most mature rating.

Oh and just in case you were wondering the Terminator age ratings they are:
The Terminator- 18 for moderate violence, gore (someone’s heart is ripped right out), profanity, nudity and one sex scene.
Terminator 2- 15 for moderate violence, gore (lots of scenes showing innocent people getting brutally shot and stabbed to death, and one person is stabbed through the eye, and another through the mouth. There is also a scene showing people getting burnt and blown apart bye a nuclear explosion, you see someone’s head fly through the air in this scene), profanity, frightening scenes, nudity and some smoking scenes. This one is my favourite.
Terminator 3- rated 12 for moderate violence, gore (someone is punched in the back and the hand goes through their chest, quite disturbing, well I found it disturbing), profanity, some nudity, frightening scenes and one scene showing people get drunk.
Terminator salvation- rated 12 for moderate violence, gore (worst thing I can think of is a terminator punches into someone’s chest and a reasonable amount of blood bursts out), profanity, one scene with a naked person, frightening scenes throughout the film and not much else.
Terminator Genesis- rated 12a for moderate violence, no gore, slight nudity, moderate profanity and very rare frightening scenes, definitely the most kid friendly terminator film and the worst.
Terminator dark fate- rated 15 for moderate violence, gore (a scene shows loads of people (most of them innocent ones) getting brutally stabbed and slashed to death with blades, lots of blood splatters everywhere in this scene), profanity, nudity and some alcohol. This is the newest film and my second favourite.
Well, that was fun lol.

Ok now I am curious.
What are the film age ratings where you’re from?
For me they’re:
U- suitable for all ages.
PG- may contain content inappropriate for younger children under 7 (I think), and parents may decide wether or not children watch them.
12a- Anyone under 12 years old who is watching this should be accompanied by an adult.
12- should only be watched by people 12 years old or over.
15- should only be watched by people 15 years old or over.
18- should only be watched by adults.
Technically I broke these rules by watching 12s when I was 11. I’m also not 15 yet but I have watched the two terminator films that are rated 15.
-Apex
The ratings where I live go like this:
E for 3-5 I think
E10+ (although most games rated that are usually games rated E)
T for teens, or 13+
M for mature, or 18 plus.
When people say hard M, they usually mean you should be an adult, but work war z is only rated that for the blood and gore. A light M means that 16+ is probably fine, and then that’s all the ratings. Movies have different ratings, but I can explain those if you want.

M? M? What is M?
Also I love how we’re just constantly asking wether or not we play certain games.
Also, have you watched Gremlins?
-Apex (I’m not actually sure I could handle World War Z, Half Life has bad graphics so the violence is ok for me, and DOOM, well, that’s pixelated, at least the first ones are, and they’re pretty violent)
Apex, have you played World War Z? If you don’t know what the game is, it’s an extremely violent zombie shooter. I find it fun, but it’s very violent, maybe near terminator? I mean, you can sometimes see rib cages, but I’m not going to get too violent. I would give the game hard M too.

I’ve noticed that random star ships have been appearing, one of them asked me to help repair his ship in the middle of space, and the next one was a near a space station, and he wanted to trade with me in space. I got a item, but then the space authority appeared so I quickly entered the space station.

When I used the hyper drive to travel to another galaxy in no man’s sky, once I got there a message popped up saying that there were pirates in the area. I decided to do it, and after I did it, I had to enter the freighter which I was defending. And then the captain gave me the freighter for free. So watch out for this, and if you want to you can try to get an A or S tier.

The good thing about the Half Life games is that since they’re old, the graphics aren’t very good, but it’s still grim when you blow something up. If it’s a person, they’ll blow apart, and you’ll see their legs, arms and their main body go flying in every direction, usually with a few organs. They’ll also be a constant stream of blood pumping out of the remains. But all of that only applies to Half Life, not Half Life 2.
-Apex
Well, they’re gory. Half life 1/ black Mesa (a remake with better graphics) a particularly gory, they allow you to blow up enemies and send organs and other body parts in every direction. It also has pretty disgusting looking zombies. Half life 2 is much less gory, just having more grim zombies. There’s also a new VR one called half life: Alyx which I haven’t played yet. Overall, it really depends wether or not you can handle it, but I’d say 12+
-Apex
Whispering eggs are a good money source though, but if you do try to harvest them a lot there’s a high chance that you will die a couple times. Also, i’ve heard of another type of whispering egg, called the “disturbing whispering egg.” This showed up in the corner where it usually tells you to press a button to open up the menu, but it mentions that is spawns “the brood” which I don’t know what that is.
