Go on, buy the bootleg Lambda Generation sticker. I dare you.

The bin/cue of the disc is now available, along with a nifty scan of the disc! I've made the pre-packaged version more easy to setup, but we're still working on making a stripped down version of the HL assets (akin to the Opposing Force demo that released in 2000) so that it's just a plug and play experience. Keep your eyes pealed for that! hiddenpalace.org/Half-Life:_Oppo… archive.org/details/ofdemo-oct-1…

So, a few weeks ago I discovered a Opposing Force beta disc, I sent a link to @MagicNipples and he purchased it to make sure it would secured and released to the community. Today is the day we get that file out there publicly. We still need to a proper bin/cue dump via ImgBurn!

You're not a real Half-Life™️ fan if you don't have THESE in your collection! 😤😤😤

While the Green Steam client is nostalgic as hell, I can't help but to remember all of the bad memories I have with it. Like how it would be locked up whenever I tried to use it and I was only able to launch my games via shortcuts and via the SteamApps directory (via your username folder, as the common folder didn't exist yet!) I remember when they launched the beta for the new client; for once Steam actually functioned on my PC! While it wasn't as sleek as the old design, I was willing to forf…

Did you know that on Valve's Curator page on Steam there's a section for the Half-Life series? On said HL series page, there's a shocking lack of Half-Life. However, Half-Life: Source (the bad option) is at full display and is considered apart of the Half-Life series. This is unacceptable. Valve, please fix. store.steampowered.com/developer… (the page is also advertised with a pre-release Opposing Force screenshot, smh my head)

Did you know that Opposing Force has entire UTIL function just to display a randomized haiku on the screen? For what reason? Dunno. Bind the command "haiku" to a button via the console and press said key in-game, it will display a haiku built from a select amount of phrases provided in the code base. (doesn't work in multiplayer)

Despite what those may believe, "xen.bsp" from P4HL is not official and neither is P4HL itself. P4HL is just a mod that integrates Perforce directly into Half-Life's game logic.

I can't identify where exactly this disc came from. It is an Uplink CD (just the installer and the redbook tracks required by Uplink) that was mastered on April 5th, 1999. I can't find any other mention of it beyond a post on the Something Awful forums (which was just someone mentioning they found it from Goodwill.) I theorize its an OEM disc or something potentially handed out at game stores in 1999. I don't think its some "hey my internet sucks and I want to checkout Uplink" disc you could of…
