Here we go again.
After Marine Invasion: Episode 1, it’s time to do the same again, but this time with less areas to playthrough.
This mod was originally released with Episode and a bonus Opposing Force map on THWL. I have chosen to release each episode and the bonus map separately.

7 DAYS AFTER RESONANCE CASCADE
“Gordon Freeman and two fellow scientists, James Walker and Robert Bond, took it upon themselves to mount a daring attack against a beachside military base, in order to secure a safe route to escape from Black Mesa.
They were planning to lead a team of security guard survivors on a silent takeover, but the base personnel was somehow alerted of their planned attack by an unknown individual.
On that fateful day, Gordon and his troops set out towards the beach in their flimsy transports, unaware that the military has prepared some nasty surprises for them…”

As a sort of gap-filler between RavenholmVille and the next mapping competition, I have decided to run a little Animated Gif competition.
There has been a resurgence in animated GIFs (the proper name is cinemagraphs) recently after some very artistic ones were created. Check out FastcoDesign and Hongkiat for more examples.
Viewers to my recent Twitch broadcast may have seen the one I created as the pre-stream image and I also created this one from an Episode Two background map.
Entrants must create an imaginative and subtle image that I will try and use in various places around the site, although I make no guarantee of that. I will try and create a page with all the entries, but again, I don’t guarantee it.
Please make your images as big as possible in terms of dimensions, as that gives me more possibilities for using them on the site.
They must be from any Half-Life game, i.e. Half-Life, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Half-Life 2, Lost Coast, HL2: Episode One and HL2: Episode Two. No entries for other games, including Portal and Portal 2 will be considered.
Closing date for entries is 10:00 AM GMT Monday 19th May 2014 -that’s about 3 weeks.
Send you entries to me directly, [email protected] or host them somewhere and send me the link or post the link as a comment (remember, all comments with links are held in a queue – please do not try to subvert that process).
Winner will receive a $5 Steam game or something else if anybody wants to donate a prize.
As always, if you have any questions, just ask. Oh, and please tell as many people as possible, including tweeting, FB updates, Messages in bottles, carrier pigeons, smoke signals and graffiti.

I’m working on a Half-Life FAQ page that would answer the most common questions posted on the half-Life Reddit page.
Since I’ve been a regular there, about 6 months, I’ve seen a lot of the same questions asked, especially around the Steam sales times.
One such question is Shall I play the games in chronological release order?
