As we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2 I wanted to show something that I loved and that existed in the past. VALVe launched a skin for Windows Media Player 9 (ninth generation of the Microsoft music player that appeared in Windows XP) that featured the look of Half-Life 2 plus some artwork from the game. You can use it for free without any problems through the Internet Archive website (A museum for preserving old Internet applications). I hope you like it, I loved it and put it on my PC and it shows how VALVe was and still is, perfectionist in its releases and advertising. My Opinion: VALVe needs to bring HL2WMP back. Please Lord Gaben. Observation: I wasn't the one who made these arts. https://archive.org/details/half-life-2-windows-media-player-skin (This is the site where you can download the skin (if you prefer).

Speculation
This year marks 20 years of Half-Life 2 and the Source Engine! I believe that VALVe will do a 20th anniversary update of HL2 as well as the 25th anniversary update of HL1. If I were the Boss of VALVe (Like Lord Gaben), I wouldn't repeat the same thing as the 25th anniversary update of HL. Not that I would do it or think it's bad, I would do it better, like instead of focusing on HL1, for HL2 I would do: -Fix UI Bugs and UI adapted to 16K (Because there is a 16K TV) for the menu and the option to use the Steam Deck interface (Recently, Doom 1+2 uses the option to use 1990s UI); -Fix the LDR that doesn't exist in some stages of HL2 (Only the mods that fixed this); -Correct/Update CSS, DODS, TF2, GMOD, Portal 1+2 and L4D 1+2 so that we will have the same treatment as HL2; -Update SFM to Source 2 (So that SFM would be updated and free, while VALVe's own games would have their own version of SFM), while the old SFM would be ported to TF2 (I was inspired by the idea from Half-Life Alyx, where there is the option to use S2FM and Hammer 5), TF2 having SFM within it is really cool as it is the same quality as SFM from 2012, but updated and modernized, I would be inspired by Blender and Maya 3D (I would do the same thing with HL2, DODS, Portal 1+2, CSS etc); -Hammer 4 would receive an update for map creation; -And also a documentary about HL2 as it revolutionized gaming better than HL1; It would be an update focused on Source Engine/Half-Life 2 Legacy (While last year it was HL1); What did you think? Agree or Disagree? If you were Lord Gaben, would you update as I said above or do it your way?

I heard about the HLX Rumor, could X refer to Xen? Because the leaks refer to gravity (Xen had a different gravity) and creatures. I think Half-Life should focus on other things than gravity, but I don't see a problem with wanting to focus on that to innovate, besides that, and if HLX (HL3) has Xen, which Xen did you want: Xen Half-Life 1 or Xen Black Mesa Source? One is empty and the other looks like a forest with fauna. Art 1 done by Anna Semykina; Art 2 done by Rutger Van Steeg.

''For HL2's 20th anniversary, I tried to make new art in the same style as my old art. This meant going back to the old ways and deliberately ignoring all the things I had learned over the last 20 years. It was a really fun exercise." @dhabiheng (Dhabih Eng) on ​​Twitter (November 16, 2024). The image above is by Dhabih Eng (VALVe Conceptual Artist since 1998-present).

VALVe and VALVe Community 2024 Retrospective - Episode One. What happened. - Portal Revolution (VALVe Community): Stefan Heinz, created a good Portal 2 mod with new stages and using an improved version of CSGO. (I thought it was good); - The death of Team Fortress - Source 2 (VALVe and VALVe Community): It's a shame I'll never forget, VALVe banning this fan-made port of TF2 in Source 2. This number of fans will never surpass the look of TF2 on the Source Engine, but having the option for better graphics is cool and to this day I still don't understand this happening of a franchise that emerged from a Quake mod. (SHAME ON VALVE); - Deadlock (VALVe): A new VALVe IP was leaked, a TPS/Hero-Shooter with Half-Life 2 visuals and the cartoonish aesthetic of TF2. Made by IceFrog (Creator of DotA 2), there is no release date, it launched a closed beta and one was a success (I'M NOT INTERESTED BUT LET'S WAIT AND SEE); - A new era for the Entropy Zero story (VALVe Community): Breadman will continue the story of 3650 with new phases with the release of Entropy Zero - Axon Pariah and a prequel called Entropy Zero - Progenitors (Playing as a Combine Assassin, enemy cut from Half-Life 2) . (Let's wait and see).

This is Lulpe, the family cat here at home, I was helping my mother with some shopping at the market and we saw him on the street (Yes, he was a street cat), he was very small, he knew how to walk. My mother was interested in caring, and as I don't have any problems or allergies to cats, I accepted. I've never kept cats, but dogs. We took him home, he started to grow, meow and we took him for vaccinations (in case he had illnesses). Lulpe is doing well today, it was that year that I found him at the market, he was the first stray that I domesticated and now he is part of the family. Anyone who wants to adopt a stray cat or dog must take responsibility for the care of these animals. This is Lulpe's brief history until he was a member of the family. #UniGeneration

17 Years of Orange Box, it was the first game package I bought, in addition to revolutionizing it by bringing new innovative games. The images are not mine. Will we have the Orange Box 2? And if so, what titles do you think it would have? For me, if there was an Orange Box, I would want it (Half-Life 3, Portal 3 and a new franchise/intellectual property - just like what happened with Portal alongside Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2).
