Description "Good morning, and welcome, to the Black Mesa Transit System. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa research facility personnel."

The first words you will hear at the beginning of Half-Life, possibly the greatest and most influential game in it's genre, setting new standards and providing a platform for countless user-generated mods. Here's a video of the game's beginning, but seriously, your common knowledge has quite a hole in it if you don't know Half-Life!


I went on my first planespotting tour today, since Rob's recent shots made me want to do something similar. So at the moment, I don't care about trains, at least those that I see every day nowadays, and find planes awesome. Knowing that my audience consists mostly of railfans, and how un-popular most of my non-train shots turned out to be, I thought I'd so something rail related first: The SkyTrain, a top-suspended monorail that connects the terminals at the Düsseldorf Airport.

So schnell ging das? Waren jetzt wie viele Jahre?

Ich bin im Moment ehrlich gesagt nur auf Episode 3 gespannt, der Story wegen.

hast du die article scans zu portal 2 gelesen? .. Das wird absolut genial. Alleine ne eigene full-length coop-campaign. *-*

Ich meine leider irgendwo gelesen zu haben dass ep3 noch länger dauert, und auch dieses jahr nichtmehr erscheint.
Ich frag mich ob man in portal 2 dann schon etwas mehr zu ep3 erfährt. das ganze spielt ja ewig nach halflife, und vielleicht
wird irgendwo beiläufig die borealis erwähnt.

Na ja, ich fand Portal zwar toll (und musste mir sogar den Song saugen) aber so wirklich hab ich die Entwicklung danach nicht verfolgt... Seit ich studiere hält sich meine gaming Zeit stark in Grenzen.
