I think a lot of the special sauce with the Half Life games is their "Show don't tell" approach to game design. You load up the game, watch an intro (for games after HL1) and boom you're in the game. Nothing is going to

(no spoiler) From a storytelling perspective, Half Life 2 Episode 2 (the last mainline Half-Life game which Half-Life 3 was expected to be the sequel for) sets up Half-Life 3 as a proper ending to the game's story and confirmed by Mark

The torrent is on her website, a few people tweeted that they finally had seeders, but I'm unsure if they got the entire archive. I'm currently trying to download it now, but the torrent file is so large that it's crashing mo
