Welcome to the second part of The Science Behind Half-Life. In the first part, I looked at the game names and this article looks at some of the weapons.
I’d like to mention that I’m not going to cover all the weapons used in the game, just the ones with science connected to them.
Here are all the entries for my HunterVille mapping competition. I would like to thank everybody who entered.
I consider it a HUGE success and as you will see when you play the maps, the quality and ideas were truly amazing. I had real trouble picking a winner and I suppose in many ways, that’s a great position to be in. I feel some pride in thinking that my competition has encouraged the mappers to make and release these maps.

So, here we are. Spring is in the air, daylight is getting longer.
Some of you, me included, may have a few days off from work or study, so that’s always cool.
What gaming plans do you have this month?

In December 2009 I ran a mapping competition and this mod contains all the entries. They are packaged as a mod to make it easy to play.
The maps can be played in any order from the New Game menu and are listed in alphabetically.
To see who won and who got honourable mentions please read on.

In case you missed it, and what Headcrab have you been hiding under?, Valve and HTC have announced a Virtual headset (sources: LG1, LG2, VT, Eg1 and EG2) and it seems most people are pretty excited about it.
Me? MEH! Why? Because I am poor. No matter how cool this thing is and I am sure it’s freaking awesome, I am not going to be able to go out and buy it. Therefore, I am doing my best to ignore it.
You, on the other hand, might be wetting you pants in excitement.
Far be it from me to tell the future (although I did predict the Steambox over 8 years ago), I can’t believe that HL3 won’t come with some features or elements that take advantage of the VR headset.
I’m not saying that it will be an exclusive release for VR or that it won’t be fun without it, just that those with it might get an even better experience.
What are your thoughts?

It’s been a while since I posted a “Blog” entry – I just haven’t been motivated.
However, today, whilst listening to some music, something struck me as possibly very important about my habits and hobbies.
Let’s start with music, move onto mods and finish with children stories…

So now Christmas and New year celebrations are over, I thought I would take a look at 2014.
I have to admit that with looking back at the list of posts, very little actually comes to mind about SP release last year.
Perhaps you are one of those people who remember the names of mods and approximate release dates without checking but I’m not.
I won’t be linking to each and every post made on the site, just highlight interesting ones and mentioning other topics.

October is upon us.
Leaves changing colour, more rainy days meaning no more excuses to not be in front of our computers playing Half-Life mods!
Got any modding plans for this winter? Gonna build your first mod? You should. In fact, so should I!

Today is PlanetPhillip.Com’s 4000th day online.
I don’t really make much fuss over anniversaries but this one seems kinda cool.
So, here are my thoughts from the last 3999 days…
