Brief Bio
Half Life is my all time favorite game, unless you can go far enough back to remember the splendid, amazing, spectacular, ground-breaking Starflight, the best game of all time. Played it on my Tandy 186, in glorious Tandy 16 color. Took over 6 months to solve it. We discussed it on the BBS sites...long before the internet came around. I learned to play HL after watching my son and feeling jealous because of his skill with the keyboard and mouse. I took a week of vacation, got in groceries and turned off my phone and worked at mastering the skills. At many points my mouse arm and hand turned to icy stone, but I got it and now I am hooked!

Playing Style Description

I always play on hard difficulty. I don't pay too much attention to life points. I have gotten through a lot of very risky tense battles with only 1 point.
