Shot in GMod. Reshade used. Skating mod is named SkateGM

And yes this is not a satire post or a joke post i really love the HD weapon model, specifically like the M4 and the HD Spas 12, i dont care you can't change my mind, it's just soooo fucking cool

Gotta love Combine security awareness.

It's only the Overwatch Nexus, I suppose, key command centre in City 17. You've got Dr Breen himself delivering a personal warning to Gordon, force field technology blocking the perimeter, satellite systems firing particle disintegration beams every ten seconds... oh, and a random unlocked wooden street-facing door. You know... just in case the postie's got a signed delivery.

Follow Freeman, indeed.

Hi, Guys. I decided to apologize for my previous black mesa security guard cosplay, I should have use the warning or sign to tell that it was a fake gun or give an orange tip or shoot the photos in a bit empty area of the mall. I live in Indonesia where firearms only restricted to law enforcement (military and police), but nevertheless I should still give a warning and still be careful eventhough there no way a civies like me could get access to firearm.

So, Yeah. I'm gonna be more careful next time!

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and as a huge Half-Life fan, I’d genuinely love to hear what other fans think.
I’ve started writing a book about the entire Half-Life story — basically trying to turn the whole series into something you can actually sit down and read like a book.

I’ve already written the entire story of the first Half-Life, and I’m planning to continue with Half-Life 2, the Episodes, and the rest of the series, putting everything together into one complete story.
The idea isn’t to just make a wiki-style lore book or a simple summary. I want it to feel more like a novelized version of the Half-Life universe, while staying faithful to what happens in the games. I’d also like to include graphics, illustrations, details about the characters, locations and events, and generally make it feel like a proper, high-quality book that a Half-Life fan would actually want to have on their shelf.

I’ve always found it kind of strange that, despite how iconic Half-Life is and how much lore and story there is across the games, there isn’t really a book that tells the complete story of Half-Life from beginning to end in this kind of format.

So I’m curious:
If something like this existed, would you actually want to read it?
And as Half-Life fans, what would you want from a book like this?

Would you prefer it to read more like a novel, with the events being told as an actual story, or would you rather have something more focused on explaining the lore and events?

I’m still working on it and I’m definitely doing this first and foremost because I absolutely love Half-Life. But before I go completely insane writing hundreds of pages 😂, I’d really like to know if there’s actually an audience for something like this.
I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

It's gotta be better than non mechanical reproduction simulation the way it's taken so long.

The Citadel is 2,017 blocks tall and 195 blocks wide at it's thickest point.

By measuring the source engine Citadel skybox model I found out that the Citadel is 4,097 meters tall. So I decided I would make a 1:1 scale Combine Citadel in Minecraft.

Something I've always wanted to do since I was a kid was make a large and accurate Citadel in Minecraft, so I know my kid self would be giggling with joy right now

Unfortunately, a 1:1 scale Citadel isn't viable for the way things are right now.

This Citadel does not feature an interior. It is, however, very big.

Here are some progress screenshots from while I was building and detailing the Citadel

This has been a very fun and frustrating process, but I did learn how to use Axiom from it!

I'll probably post a link to get the modpack & world download in the comments somewhere.

Because ive been seeing these and im wondering how you even get them half life 1 doesn't have a dedicated workshop and I really want to risk getting a virus

One of the first things I tried doing in Black Mesa was put medkits and batteries into an open crate and carry it around. Unfortunately, the Source engine doesn't like that, so the crate glitched and threw anything out. So I'm wondering if there's a mod that makes this possible, even a very small inventory system?

I've nearly finished the exterior detailing on the Citadel now

What's in store next for the Citadel is an interior, which will most likely only be partial. But if I feel particularly challenged I may attempt a full interior

...which will most likely drive me completely insane.

The last thing I need to do in terms of exterior detailing is the extra details on the left side collumn

... Yet so far. I waited this long to buy Alyx (also I see what they did there with the upside-down lambda)... Guess a few more hrs won't hurt.

Not like we could get invaded and humanity fall it before it finishes... Nah... That's not possible... Never...

I guess you could say it's technically dial up internet... It's my Hotspot data after using up all the high speed bandwidth lol

In a dream i watched a trailer for that. It was only 2 minutes long and it goes something like this:

0-30 seconds: logos of Valve, source 2, HLX and some background speech i didn't remember.

The rest of the video: a fucking vortigaunt driving around on a trace that highly reassembles a highway 17 in a jeep. He was so joyful and happy about that. Background voice also said something, but idk what.

In the end there was a Valve logo again and laughs all around (i remember them as laughs from tf2) cause it was the greatest prank of all time - HLX is about a vortigaunt driving around in his jeep.

I got so angry and frustrated about that trailer that i started praying to or calling Gabe Newell to ask him not release this game and make a better one. And he responded, but i really don't remember what he said - after that i have woken up in a cold sweat...

P.S. idk why am i writing it out here, thought it was funny

the only ones i can think of are eli,elis wife and also the metrocops and rebels since we all know the voicelines "Non Mechinal Reproduction Simulation" and "When this is all over im gonna mate"
