It is impossible to take one Barney the whole way as there are many moments involving ladders, water and pits that only the player can navigate. There are some smaller sequences of two or three maps where you can keep them alive for a long time, to where you end up with four or five scientists...
Most Valve employees spend the weekend inside suspended animation chambers. The only people left awake are the service peons who feed the salt tears of disappointed children into the power generators beneath the Steam server farm.
I actually prefer it without the gold colour correction, but that is going to come down to personal taste. It would have been better if they had made it an option in the menu. The characters definitely look less like painted dummies, but the animation still makes them look like Gerry Anderson...
I like the sound of a higher difficulty setting, and I saw something very similar to your idea two weeks ago called Scram Half-Life.

It's a work-in-progress at the moment and while not identical, you may be interested in taking a...
This is great news. I too was ready to pay full price again, just because it fixed the only two issues I had with the game. The upgrade option is an awesome bonus.
There is a demo for the new release.

It's a standalone "demonstration" that is worth playing even if you know The Stanley Parable already.
Update:
Valve have recently confirmed to Forbes that, while their beta machines will indeed run Nvidia graphics cards, the Steam Machines will be available in 2014 with alternative technical specifications, including hardware options from competitors AMD and Intel. Doug Lombardi, Valve's VP of...
I think priority is the wrong word. I seriously doubt there was ever a meeting where they decided L4D was more important, and that Half-Life would have to wait for it's turn.
One plausible reason that could exist for L4D3 being the first title to use Source 2 is testing. A multiplayer game is...
Update 1:
We can now confirm that the "Half-Life 3" trademark has been removed from the Trademarks and Design Registration Office of the European Union (OHIM) website. The entrant appears to have disappeared entirely after only being listed on the website database for little over a week...
Believe it or not: The word "three" existed long before the existence of Half-Life. In fact some folks in South America were using it as far back as 1976. Only they didn't use it as a word. They mixed it with shredded tobacco and smoked it as a fine cigar!
It's going to take a long time for people to accept a device like this, and people are going to remain sceptical until they can try it out for themselves. Something so drastically different to what people are comfortable with is going to be a tough sell. It could be a brilliant innovative new...
2. Hardware. 3. Social Connectivity Stuff. The only reason I think this is because the SteamOS announcement was a little circle symbol, and the second announcement is a circle inside of a box.. sorta... and then the third is a circle + a circle.
