“One of Gordy’s alternate adventures finds him in the company of a small group of scientists and a few barneys holed up in a cement bunker deep within the bowels of Black Mesa. It is shortly after the resonance cascade and as all hell breaks loose around them, they seal off the few exits, determined to work on solving the mess they’ve gotten into.

You play as Thomas Redgrave, a friend of Gordon Freeman, who works in different laboratories of Black Mesa on the same day of the accident.

You are taking a refresher training course when things go wrong. Do your best to survive until you meet some other scientists, who tell you exactly what you need to do.

A rather generic: “You are sent in to some base to do some thing”.

It’s not exactly Black Mesa but it looks like it.

Take your time and look everywhere.

Since I have been playing all these HL1 mods for the 100SDoN event I have ridden quite a few tram rides.

It got me thinking about roller-coasters and how some people like sitting in different positions (an acquaintance travels the world riding them and explained all about it).

I had been thinking about this post for a few days, you know, writing different paragraphs in my head, then forgetting about it and coming back to it.

Then I played Whoopservatory (that’s gotta be one of the strangest mod names around!) and decided to sit down and write it. The reason is that Whoopservatory teases the player really well and it seems to be an art that hasn’t been used much in Source maps compared to GoldSource or even Unreal.

Dr.Magnusson has been conducting a personal project in an old observatory.

After an unfortunate outbreak of zombieitis the lab had to be quickly evacuated.

You must go in and wreck up the place before it falls into the wrong hands!!

After the incidents at Black Mesa three years ago, Gordon Freeman was recruited by a curious FBI Agent, known simply by the common nickname given to his kind, ‘G-Man’.

Now working as a highly-trained special operative, Gordon Freeman is the only man the US Government fully trusts in highly hostile situations.

USS Darkstar is a futuristic episode for Half-Life set on a Zoological Research Vessel.

I have just launched Osmosis and found it has reset itself back to the beginning, meaning I have lost all my finished zones, in effect my game saves.

The game was a gift and in all honesty, unless it suddenly and miraculously gets its saves back, I won’t play it from the beginning again.
