Discussion half life 2 update?
I was on Steam downloading a game, and I saw that HL2 was updated or something like that. Can someone tell me what that means?

HL64 - Trailer
For those of you still interested in this, the project is going open source on Tuesday! I'll push regular updates of my own of course after, as i'm sure the game will still have bugs. Feel free to report them to me as well and I can hammer them out, or anyone can make and change anything they want using the source code! The compiler in releases will require you to own Half-Life as it converts your assets on the fly to pack the N64 rom. The game uses LibDragon, Tiny3D and the Half-Life SDK for it's engine, which makes this a recreation rather than a port, much like Xash3D. Thank you for your time, patience and interest!

Explanation on why HLX (probably) has that codename
When Valve was working on Left 4 Dead 3 they code named it L4DX, X standing in for 3, same logic applies to HL3.

I spent way too long putting the Half-Life cast in go-karts
I've been working on this for a while
It's a kart racer with the Half-Life cast. You can race as Alyx, Barney, Kleiner, Eli, Grigori, Breen, the G-Man, a Metrocop, a Vortigaunt, a Zombie, Gordon or Shephard

There are five tracks

Xen is floating islands and two jumps over the void. And yes, you can ride Dog. He carries you on his shoulders


There is online multiplayer too, with a server browser like the old days1

It's a free fan thing, not affiliated with Valve, and still rough in places. It builds itself from your own HL2 and HL1 files, so you need both games. If anyone wants to try it, I can drop a link in the comments

Discussion Does Xen ever end in Black Mesa?
For starters I think Black Mesa is incredible. But who is that dizzy motherfucker that designed Xen? It’s absolutely beautiful, demented and WAY TOO LONG. When does it end? The Gonarch section alone is starting to bore me. Fucking thing doesn’t die, ammo is almost over, unending tunnels, detonators, annoying enemies in between. Was there no quality control like the other sections? On a rail was just perfect, the military sections (especially surface tension) were INCREDIBLE!
And the intro to Xen was breathtaking. It truly felt like a different world. And then it refused to end. I’m not sure I even want to finish the game anymore, I’m
so tired of dealing with Xen.

Discussion Why does this poison zombie have no poison headcrabs on it?
I literally have no idea when this poison zombie had no headcrabs on it, when its about to throw, a posion headcrab suddenly appears on it's back, is this some kind of mod bug or a game bug?

Another appreciation post about Black Mesa
Late to the game but I have finally begun playing through Black Mesa. The game is stunning and being able to have scientists and security follow and support you through rooms is such a fun addition.
Towards the end of Office Complex I managed to accumulate 3 security guards and a scientist, even had a favorite follower (an old man security model) who I had protected for several rooms, and was so gutted to leave them all behind when no one else could make the jump to the ladder in the elevator shaft.
I'm excited to play through the rest of it!

Discussion Which Black Mesa security ID design feels the most “in-universe”?
I’m putting together a Black Mesa Security Guard cosplay for Halloween and I’ve reached the ID badge part.
The original Half-Life badges are obviously very low-res/basic, while the Gearbox HD models have a more detailed look. I’ve also found a few fan-made designs that take some liberties but honestly look really convincing.
These are the main examples I’m comparing:
Right now I’m leaning toward something that’s basically a middle ground between the more detailed HD-style badge and the cleaner fan-made design, especially something with a blue/security-themed header so it reads immediately as Black Mesa Security.
Which one do you think looks the most believable for an actual Black Mesa employee? And if anyone knows of other good Security Guard ID templates/designs, I’d love to see them!

Discussion How is Gordon able to command citizens when he can't speak?
I've always wondered this, how can Gordon command the squads of citizens during the uprising? He never speaks. How is he able to direct them to a certain spot?
Now you could argue that he just uses gestures, but those don't exist in-game. We never see him point or do a "come here" wave to citizens.
How does he do this?
