Merry Holidays, everyone! Celebrate the holiday spirit this with this festive video.

And at least one of these TFC Map Contest winners didn't receive his prize money: You should now pay these guys their due $1,000, @valvesoftware @TeamFortress @GearboxOfficial, which, by my calculations after 25 years of inflation, amounts to $25k (or so)

44 total sprays were plainly added in the HL1 25th Anniversary Update, but the official update site only depicts 43 sprays, willfully omitting the new gorilla spray to throw us off the scent. This was a carefully crafted deception, my friends. #halflife #gorilla #bringbacksprays

I was perusing 1970s-era publications on mythological woodland creatures, as you do, and I found him. Hey @valvesoftware, what about this specific 1976 illustration by Dutch artist Rien Poortvliet inspired aspirations of space travel? #halflife #LittleRocketMan #youvebeengnomed

@SmithWe82160267 @Skarabyte @remedygames @SamLakeRMD I didn't improve the quality or resolution of the image itself, just added the text I could read. This comic image has never been released in any higher quality form or higher resolution than the 640x480 you see here.

RT @CombyLaurent1: To celebrate the New Year 2025, I offer you an impressive early prototype of Half-Life Dreamcast, 7 months before the kn…

Now that the newest oldest Blue Shift build has been released, I can finally say that my favorite part of this prototype is its comically oversized toolbox. I mean, gee, that's one really big toolbox! Yep. Boy howdy! Why'd you make this toolbox so big, @GearboxOfficial? #halflife

RT @CombyLaurent1: Don't forget, the Stream to show you “The Project Tree of Life” is this evening at 9 p.m. (Paris time) on my Twitch chan…

RT @CombyLaurent1: I hope you like it. I can't wait to show you what I've been working on for the past few months.

The guide later confirms that Gary Ross' PDA once had 3 emails rather than 2, revealing that the third email which explained the 953 code was cut in the final game. Is this perhaps the most exciting cut content discovery of 2024? I think it's fair to say... yes. Yes it is.

Looking back at the Half-Life 2: Update community commentary node I wrote in 2013, I'd say I was darn close at guessing Valve's official 2024 node! I only missed the unimportant bits like physics, story, sweeping, etc. @valvesoftware, can I write Half-Life: Source's commentary?

These are YouTube's video ideas for me. I think I shall pursue the last one. Hey @valvesoftware, I will require 50 billion dollars in order to construct an Anti-Mass Spectrometer and engineer a cataclysmic world-ending catastrophe. Also, what's an Anti-Mass Spectrometer?

YEARLY THANKSGIVING REDNECK RAMPAGE FUN FACT: Daisy Mae's Livin' is a fictional in-universe magazine that's actually a hint sheet for Redneck Rampage Rides Again. I know nothing of its origin or any other info behind it, but the fact that it exists is a fact that's fun, right?

Hey, wait a sec! Why in the blue Laszlo are you cropping concept art anyway, @valvesoftware @findSecretTape? Are you trying to hide the authors' signatures!? Then again, if they're all as legible as "ANoHCa" here, their identities would've remained a mystery regardless! #blunder

@NoFrag Wait a minute! My network of underground French resistance spies is informing that this is actually some sort of "anti"-Half-Life 2 video! You lied to me, @NoFrag! You betrayed me! You used me! (How do I say "You fucked up my face" in French?)
