Hello community! Today I want to share what I am about to do for the 25th anniversary of Half-Life. For this occasion I thought to a marathon of all games of the saga plus some mods and some fan films but then I had an idea, since Half-Life inspired hundreds and hundreds of mods I decided to do a really massive marathon of Half-Life that includes all the best quality mods that I have played over the years that can fit the canon on a good way or just in some cases mods that show some concepts or events of the history such us for example Half-Life Induction or a short Ville from RTSL that is about Barney starting his cover up as a CP, so the quality some times is very varied but the objetive of some of them is showing those events and there is no other games that do that. What I did to place an order for all the games and mods that I have selected is looking at when that game or mod ends his histoy, for example, Half-Life: Blue Shift is before Half-Life 1 because the game ends before Half-Life and that was applied to everything that is below, starting at Portal: Prelude and ending at Portal 2. (here are included like 70 % of the mods) and this way the history of the saga is always going beyond This is the massive list following these criteria: the book The Mist as the initial inspiration for Half-Life. All oficial games, including Uplink and Lost Coast as a bonus (12 games) Reading the documents from the manuals Some short fan films that fit the canon and some films that are inspired by Half-Life, including Uplink. 14 beta mods that recreate Half-Life alpha and beta and the Half-Life 2 beta, this includes cut levels like the cut airfield and 38 mods that can fit the canon at least in a 90% and do not alter anything ,in a direct way, from the games. Here are included also some bonus games after finishing the full canon history with Portal 2, like Black Mesa, the mmods, the beta/alpha mods from before, etc, etc... with many more fan films. What do you think?

Also I want to mention that in some cases like Half-Life 2 I stop the game to play other mods in certain parts of the game (3 mods for hl2) like EZ Uprising and more, so I can say that I did a very complete "timeline", I am really proud of it, it was really hard to order all those hl1 mods doing researchs, these mods end with hours of difference between them, it was hard and fun!
