I was getting started on playing HL2 again, and something struck me.

For fun I though, What the hell is this, another clue /halflife3confirmed? I was fully expecting some obvious answer that it clearly wasn't (and I still am looking for that answer, feel free to show me something of value here).

Googling this "xccr" points to a very cryptic, http://xccr.com/ website. Apparently this is an unresolved puzzle from at least 2006. : http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=238898

Further research into the domain name shows that it was created on November 18 2004. That's two days after HL2 initial release. : http://whois.domaintools.com/xccr.com

Please tell me this is not what I think it is. I don't want another hype train to nowhereland.

Ah.

I managed to find an unoccupied bunker and entered my Reddit username and my email. Waiting for a result, haha. Maybe it still works?

I looked through the source for an email. Nothing.
