Randy graciously agreed to spend some time with me to chat about Gearbox Software’s inception, the creation of Opposing Force and Blue Shift, along with some other game related topics.

Did you know he used to be a professional magician?

Listen to hear about the magic and the dedication in building one of the most versatile game developments studios.

Starting in a strange cell, you need to explore the area and rescue the scientists and security guard.

Be careful, as there is an assassin some where in the area too.

Good Luck!

You are on a space station, when suddenly everything goes crazy and your confinement is over.

Work your way through a series of rooms and corridors until you eventually find the escape pod.

The path free takes many directions. Good luck prisoner!

So, here we are. It’s getting much colder where I live, so I don’t feel so guilty sitting in front of the computer at weekends.

Check out this HorrorGami, it’s pretty cool. I suggested he try some video game characters.

This post is used to chat about anything and everything, except maps and mods posted on the site, which should have their discussion on the respective post.

Starting in an elevator, you exit into a slightly confusing world.

Ghost trucks and vortigaunts that are real enough to kill you.

Progress further and you can see the transformation of a xen area.

How would you describe or review Half-Life via Twitter?

Well, here’s my attempt at a description.

I’ll try and write a review version too.

Tram ride to gem push. Shit hits fan. Get help. Alien & grunts block you. BM is huge. Lab guys help. Xen awaits. Kill big baby. Job offer.

So, let’s be clear, from this moment forward, and probably some time in the past, I will be calling the next game in the HL series: Half-Life 3.

I think we all agree it’s not going to be an episode any more.

Onto the poll question. My working life is a little different to what it was 20 years ago and I no longer have the opportunity to take days off when I want it – basically, I work when I am told to.

The Combine prison train on which you were travelling crashes.

You are lucky enough to survive and be missed by the initial Combine search.

Can you reach the research station located near the crash site?

If you do, will you regret it?

During November, I will be having another map and mod event.

It’s called the:
OpposingForceNovemberFest.

Originally, it was going to be during October and the “OFOF” would have sounded cooler, but I just couldn’t get it ready in time.
