    Half-Life: The short film

    Called the "Escape from City 17 (Part 1)", it was done on a budget of $500. It mixes live footage with in-game action. Well worth a see for any Half Life fan.

    I have never played Half Life, and every year my desire to play it diminishes by 50%.

    Quite so, leaned master, however 'twas long ago overcome by the joint forces of apathy and lethargy. Those forces are strong with this one.

    I watched the first 2 minutes of that video. I got bored with those two teenagers performing SWAT turns and running out into the open for no reason and tripping over things and generally looking like mercenaries who were off sick on training day.

    I went and watched TechnoViking again.

    you haven't finished it until you've beaten all the challenges. Especially the maximum-allowed portal usage one.

    Your limited mental skills have inspired me to play it a third time. I shall begin ASAP.

    I will never play any of the games mentioned in this thread, mainly because people like you lot play them and I don't want to become stupid by association.
