Very uncomfortable. Incidentally, I recommend Greenwater too, if you don't have it already; not perfect and a bit long in the tooth, but well-told, intriguing and scary as hell.<br /> <br /> I went back to the start of Is or Will Be and retreated to the Barnacle room over and over again to kill all the headcrabs, saving my bullets just for the headcrab zombies.

There's a bar in Alyx and I really wanted to take a seat and pour myself a drink.<br /> <br /> I do have A Chair in a Room but I haven't got very far. I found it a little frustrating, partly the Index controllers trying to emulate the Vive controllers.
