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.
As with all my “What would Freeman…”, the question relates to BEFORE the Black Mesa incident. Let’s see if we can get a sort of consensus of his character.
This week, I ask about the kind of music he listens to. As with last week, you can choose a number of options. This week you have a maximum of two votes.

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.

There’s pretty much nos tory to this one. Get from where you start to the Antlion Guard arena and kill everything in your way.
Solve the puzzle to get the HEV suit and things get even harder after that.
Alyx and some squad friends make life a little easier for you. Don’t forget to thank them.

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 !)”

What do we really know about Gordon Freeman? Not that much. I am sure many of you have wondered about his life outside of Black Mesa, so this could be the first of many fun polls, based around the idea of:
What Would Freeman Do?

This is an Alpha release of a conversion of Pacman. It was due to be part of the Arcadium mod I was hoping to produce but unfortunately that hasn’t happened.
It was never designed for public release, as all alphas aren’t, but I am releasing it now, with Joe’s permission, so that in conjunction with the post about the mod, it may gain some exposure and hopefully members of the mapping community will decide it’s worth the effort and take the concept further.
I would like to publicly apologize to Joe for letting him down. Sorry Joe.

Work your way around a maze and find the central waterfall.
Of course, you will find enemies and barriers to your progress, but you didn’t expect it to be easy did you?
Can you reach the center?
