After replaying the Half-Life series, and seeing some of the cool minute details in the games (like a Tic-Tac-Toe block being missing in the playground, and then being found lying in a citizen apartment), I became interested in what other, small things that Valve hid in the Half-Life series of...

The theory's that the G-Man works for an organisation that wants access to all portal technology, and is hellbent on destroying all teleportation equipment which it does not own. In the Aperture Science Enrichment Center, portal technology is nearly perfected, meaning that it must be...

I saw a forum over on Steam about this topic, and it kind of interested me. The topic is: what other, non Half-Life games could fit into the Half-Life Universe without contradicting anything in the games. I don't have many non-Valve games, though, so I don't have that many on the list at the...
