Recently, I was browsing Half-Life Library and on the frontpage I noticed a link to somebody called Kevin Bowen. I have to admit I had never heard of him, but I was curious. I read a little about him and followed the link to his Top Ten Reasons Half-Life is Still #1.
Having quite enjoyed the piece I felt it was time for me to write something similar. So, here are my 10 reasons why I love the Half-Life series of games.
I love infographics. I hope to implement something like them in a future statistics project on this site.
There is such a wealth of basic information with all the games that I have no doubt they could be used for some cool infographics.

I have been meaning to post this for about 3 years. Seriously. 3 years. Well, here it is. A collection of maps designed for younger people. In fact let me just quote from the homepage:
“HL2 For Kids was set up in response to an idea suggested by Wisemx (HL2 Source Mapping), on the Chatbear Mapping Forum to provide younger people (3 – 12) with a series of maps to play that are non-violent, accessible and fun. The central theme of the project is the fairground or amusement park. It is hoped that a full series of maps can be put together to provide a lot of entertainment for children (and those of us who are still children !)”

I am torn.

I believe that we have a duty to share something we love if we feel it is beneficial to others. Playing Half-Life games falls into this category for me.
I am probably older than you, sure I’m not the oldest visitor to this site (He is around 80 years old I think) but older than most. Most of my friends have children and don’t really play PC games, well maybe the occasional game on the Wii, but that’s it.

To be honest I can’t remember what the official word from Valve is regarding this.
I thought they had said that it would continue after EP3, but I’ll be honest with you, I am starting to think that EP3 will be the end of an era.
Let’s hope it’s just silly emotions of an old fool.

So there I was watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s when it occurred to me I was watching a film nearly 50 years old.

Last night I had this strange dream where I was using the crowbar to flick headcrabs in the air and then bat them like a baseball. It’s not the first HL-related dream I have had either!
