You play as Gordon, who has been sent to seek and destroy an alien/human spacecraft.

You will need to negotiate a variety of enemy and tactical obstacles.

Careful use of your weapons and ammo is advised.

Good Luck!

Can it see you?

Should you run or wait?

How long can you hold your breath and stay silent?

Your hands won’t stop shaking but you must remain calm…

Be the bad guy in this modification for Half-Life 2 : Episode 2 and step into the boots of a stranded Metrocop, left for dead in the abandoned City 10.

Survive the Combine plague, and reclaim the Combine stronghold known as ‘Pillar 10’.

Soon after the 7-Hour War, with Humanity defeated a survivors join the nascent rebellion.

As a player, you’ll play a role of the man who survived the war and join the rebellion and prevent Alliance from completely conquering Earth.

You find yourself in a tunnel.

A familiar tunnel, but then again everything in Black Mesa looks familiar.

There’s only one way forward, so get moving.

Are you going deeper into the complex or moving towards freedom?

Only time will tell. Good Luck!

However, there’s something wrong with this place…”

I have just created a new page about the game giveaways I will be doing.

All “events” that RTSL users can win games are designed to increase participation on the site.

This post is just to let you know about the new page.

I will add an overview to the ABOUT this weekend.

Full details of the events are on the page, so go check it out!

GAME GIVEAWAYS

Have I mentioned it’s my birthday this month? Well, it is. One year older, one revolution around the Sun. Another 365 days gone. Used. Wasted? Experienced? Valued? Who knows.

What I can tell you is that since I heard Maggot Brain on House, M.D., there hasn’t been many days go by where I haven’t listened to it at least once.

For those that like Psychedelic Rock, here it is:

As you probably know, the site is now running on its own dedicated server. The site should be faster, at least it is for me. It’s also more expensive but I feel it’s worth it. A HUGE thanks to Mazur for setting it all up and continued help in configuring it. There is absolutely NO WAY I could have done it myself. Now that the move has been completed, I have begun updating some of the pages. You probably won’t notice anything big, but it makes the site better.

The Contact page is back and I have already begun getting spam, but okay, that’s the price you pay for making it easier to contact me. The submit page may also return.

I’ve also decided that I probably won’t be adding many videos. I feel the time is better spent elsewhere on the site. I will still do the occasional livestream but not many.

Right, that’s it for now.

What plans do you have for October?

Oh, did I mention it’s my birthday this month?

I am very pleased to announce that RTSL is now running on a dedicated server. That means, for those that don’t know, I pay to rent a whole computer in a server farm and that whole machine is mine. This should mean the site is very fast.

I have only really done 5% of the work and would like to thank Mazur for the other 95%!

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be improving the site, fixing, 404s, reinstalling the Contact and Submit pages, along with lots of small changes to layout and pages.

Registration emails should arrive much sooner as well.

If you see any issues with the site, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
It’s more expensive to run the site this way but I believe it’s worth it.

I’ll be starting a donation drive to cover the hosting costs from November.

So, that’s it. Enjoy the site and remember: FINISHING HALF-LIFE IS JUST THE BEGINNING!
