I got emotional watching this. Half-Life 2 was not only beautiful as a game for its time, but it had beautiful code too. I've had paying gigs writing code using the SDK that Valve published with the game. I remember being wowed at seeing the object code for a bullet and a water bullet. The water bullet is based on bullet, but one is deleted and the other spawned when bullets travel in and out of the water. The water bullet has a trail of bubbles. Still stuck in my memory after all the years. Keep up the great work!

In Half-Life 1 I remember recruiting a lot of guards to help me through areas. Keeping them all alive until I'm forced to leave them behind. Though sometimes I could come back and open the way for them to keep following me. Either it was Half-Life or Black Mesa. Though I'm leaning towards Black-Mesa. The other Half-Life spin offs are good too. Opposing Force and Blue Shift. Blue Shift has you playing as one of the guards. I think it's the one you pass on the tram in the beginning, banging on a door. In Opposing Force you play as one of the soldiers.
