“The end of the war for City 24 is drawing near. Most of the streets are taken over by the Resistance but the heart of the city is impenetrable for the rebels, a massive Combine stronghold surrounded by tall steel walls.
If the siege isn’t quick enough, a large reinforcement will arrive to aid the besieged and can possibly even take back the city. Fortunately, a hidden Combine depot was found deep underground near the waterworks facility that is directly connected to the stronghold.
You are a part of the strike team tasked with capturing the vital depot. You were ambushed by the Combine forces, leaving you the sole survivor. Now it’s up to you, and only you, to finish the mission or perish in the uneven struggle.”

Although Gordon managed to survive the resonance cascade and escape the laboratories, the situation was rapidly deteriorating.
His only hope of reaching safety was the Black Mesa Transit System.
Typically the one available tram was on the far platform. With the bridging offices becoming increasingly overrun with hostile lifeforms Gordon would have to work overtime if he was to make it.

Hi Everybody,
I have some surprising news.
Over the last few years I have felt increasing pressure running the site. Remember, in various forms, I have been running the site for almost exactly 13 years. That’s a long time. During that time I have spent thousands of hours working on it. I feel that I’ve done a pretty good job at promoting SP maps and mods.
Recently, it has felt more like a burden than a hobby. Every weekend is planned around streams and work that needs to be done on the site. Every week day, most my free time is spent doing something related to the site.
I need a rest. A proper rest. Not just a few weeks. Even during my “holiday” I felt obligated to check in and see what’s happening. That’s wrong.
I heard something on The Goldberg’s last night. Somebody said “I just wanna ride my bike and play video games”. And that’s exactly how I feel. It’s time for me to be a consumer not a creator.
I feel that I have been trying to promote SP Half-Life stuff alone, of course I haven’t, but that’s just how it feels. I have tried so many different projects, initiatives, ideas and events. Some have been mildly succesful, others failures, but at least I tried.
One of the reasons I renamed the site from Planetphillip to RunThinkShootLive was because I wanted more community involvement. Something more like LambdaGeneration, but that takes a lot of work and it never really had the effect I had hoped for.
I have been thinking about closing the site for a few years now and over the past few months that feeling has become stronger.
Unlike last time, which was a reaction to a big problem with ModDB, I will be giving people and myself time to transition.

In What The Headcrab! Episode 19 I talked about a post on Reddit that said that only 1% of people who have played Half-Life 2 had attained all of the statistics. I couldn’t find a page that said only 1% had all achievements but I suspect it was a play on the current 1%/99% theme in today’s world.
Then later that day, I was playing a single player mappack for Black Mesa called Small Lab and I started to get some achievements. The funny thing is that I haven’t even played the game yet and when I do, I might even have most of them attained.
I’ve never been a big fan of achievements but I understand their appeal. Perhaps we could have Attain November, just like we did last year with HARD November?

Hello and welcome to What The Headcrab! Episode 20.
A few days earlier than a week, but as you probably know, I am off on holiday tomorrow.
This will be the last episode until Saturday 20th August.
I hope you can live without it for that long. Maybe next year, I’ll get some guest host to fill in for me.
As always, there’s a giveaway courtesy of A A Ron from SteamContests.com and news from RTSL.
Anyway, let’s get headcrabing.

“You woke up in the test chamber by teleportation and you need to activate the teleporter that would get out of Black Mesa, but it needs to include the 3 energy generator, which are somewhere in the lab, your task is to incorporate these generators simultaneously exterminate monsters, and then go through teleport, and what is on the other side will see the teleporter.”
