Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get past this spinning slice-o-matic machine?
1 of 6: Wait and see what it does to the zombies who stupidly shamble into it while trying to get to you.
2 of 6: You don't want to end up as two half-a-body guys, so try to think of a safe way past.
3 of 6: Zombies are too stupid to duck, but you aren't.
4 of 6: Simply crouch-walk past the whirling blade.
5 of 6: Or use the gravity gun to grab the nearby overturned pushcart and carefully wedge it between the whirling blade and the wall so that it jams the machine. Then you can just walk past.
6 of 6: Also, you can turn the thing off by crouch-walking to its base and using its little power lever.
