Happy birthday Half-Life!!!

My favourite game— and the new maps and balance changes are crazy for a game this old.

I’ve been having so much fun on crossfire, I wish there were more servers running the new maps, though

Half Life has rewired my brain

Half Life's 25th has completely shattered the notion that these games are just a fun interest i have and enjoy 100%ing and has proven its a full on hyperfixation. The energy has been steadily building ever since the announcement a few days ago, and now that its the 19th, i feel like im going insane. These games mean SO much. Theyre so interesting. The characters are so fun. The expanded world is so neat. I too have felt the pain of Half Life's cliffhanger.

This anniversary update feels fake. This is so much more than i expected. Of course theyd celebrate their big hitter turning 25, but a whole update to the original game? Thats so much MORE. They made Uplink easily accessible! People can play Uplink whenever they want now! They added new MULTIPLAYER MAPS?? They updated the game for new systems and the Steam Deck so more people can play it! (And theyre phasing out HL:Source as the 'main' version and hiding its visibility on steam, LMAO)

These images feel fake. But theyre real! And it feels incredible! I never thought id see the day.

Starting about a year ago i went on a quest to 100% every Half Life game and mod that existed and had steam achievements. I love 100%ing games, and Half Life seemed like an easy answer. And the games just.. grew on me. I was already a fan of Portal, and i had played the full HL series for the first time in one big sitting a few years before. But this made me dive DEEP into the series. and i LOVE it. it makes me go crazy. Ive put so much time into these games. I got The One Free Bullet in HL2E1 on my first playthrough. I did the Gnome run in HL2E2. I started a Gnome run in Alyx as my first playthrough (although i havent played that in a while, VR is exhausting, but i want to get back to it so i can play the other VR mods) I got the Hat AND Pizza achievement at the SAME TIME in Black Mesa. Ive 100%'d Portal and Portal 2's challenge chambers, Entropy Zero and 2 on hard, all sorts of things. These games have grabbed me. My profile is dedicated to displaying the hardest HL achievements i have. and im so happy to have this one on display now too. To honor this silly, wonderful series.

(if you dont know what that is, go to the Half Life 25th anniversary webpage and click on the crowbar at the bottom. Enjoy.)

This game has done irreversible changes to my brain and today feels more important than a national holiday right now. Im buzzing. Im so excited about HALF LIFE !!

(Also, the full Half Life collection is extremely discounted until tomorrow, November 20th, with each game being LESS THAN A DOLLAR EACH, and if you have VR, HL Alyx is only 20$ from its usual 60$, AND THE ORIGINAL HALF LIFE IS COMPLETELY FREE!! Even if you dont care about this series and dont wanna spend like, 5$ on the full series, you can get a FREE video game before it expires tomorrow. Free things are free!)

Hey, everyone! Just thought I'd share something fun with you as we approach Half-Life's 25th anniversary (November 19th): Dario Casali, one of the original level designers for Half-Life, has been releasing daily developer commentary videos on each chapter!

Enjoy!
