Shokunin and I were planning on having an audio interview but for various reasons that’s no longer possible.
We have however agreed to do a text interview and although I have plenty of questions I want to ask, I thought RTSL readers might also like to suggest some questions.
Please post your questions as comments below.
I make no guarantee that I will include though.
I will be sending the list of questions on Monday, so you don’t have long to post them.
“It’s 2137. There is a War between Earth and the Mars Colony.
You are Gordon Freeman, A special military-scientific unit of the Earth force.

During you are travel in the prison ship to Mars the ship is attacked by an yet unknown alien race.
This gives you the chance to escape…..”

Relaxing, as much as anybody can “relax” on a train in City 17, you are suddenly woken up by an explosion.
Fortunately, you haven’t been badly hurt and this could be your chance to escape the Combine.
Move carefully as you don’t know who or what is around the next corner.

Starting in an abandoned house, you collect you weapons & ammo and try to defend yourself.
You seem to be surrounded by a never-ending hoard of zombies.
How many can you kill before you die or get bored?

I’m a binge viewer. There, I said it. I love watching a whole sason of episodes from TV shows in one weekend.
It’s an interesting topic in itself, from a number of angles, but it got me thinking about how I would feel if a single player game were releases in chapters like a TV show.
Let me clarify a few points:
1. No, I’m not talking about episodes in the sense of Episode One and Two.
2. I’m not even thinking specifically of a Half-Life game.

There’s been a revolt at the South Pole!
The elves have taken Santa Claus hostage and are making outrageous demands.
If you don’t rescue him, the Christmas could be cancelled forever.
Think of the children!
Save him.

A couple of maps based on Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time
Author’s note: “You play as Link (Or whatever you choose to name him in the beginning) And these maps I have re-made follow the basic introduction storyline to how Zelda starts out. Link is awoken by the great deku tree and set forth on an adventure to free the deku tree from the evil spirits within it.
Before he can do that, he must explore his forest home in search of a weapon and a means of defending himself. While exploring, link is free to do anything he wishes. There is no time crunch. Only catch : You can’t leave the forest.
Because I cannot code I could not achieve some of the effects or enemies I would have liked to implement. Fog would have been nice. [Damnit highlander] But I did try to put a half-life-esque twist on everything.”

The idea of an article about the science behind some aspects of the Half-Life games popped into my head when I was listening to a physics podcast. It was talking about Zero-Point Energy and of course I immediately recognized the term.
I performed a quick search to see if somebody else had already written something and was initially disappointed to find somebody had. However, after scanning it and seeing the author say that the “Zero Point Energy” was just “a pointless quasi-scientific name that has no serious grounding in genuine physics”, I decided I would write my own.

“It’s the night that lasts forever. You’ve just found a way back into the winding non-euclidean streets of Insomnia City after after a long soul search in the great white void.
Time is running out and so are options. Enemies are closing in on all sides and everyone’s waiting for the inevitable.
This is it, the beginning of the end. Every question about who you were and why you’re here is irrelevant.
All that matters now is survival, and what you will become. Paranoia has taught you much, but it’s time to move on, on to orders of time and space still stranger.”
