Hah Half-Life 2 Barney looks like that dude who played Inspector Gadget, if they were to make a Half-Life movie that would be the perfect person to play Barney.

Someone should ask him if he can release it, they have nothing to lose afterall, it'd be so much fun

As the story goes, Valve was a small, independant, financially-strapped game developer working on one little project...HalfLife. Well, they put a pretty significant amount of work into the project, but couldn't afford to finish it (those original build screens are from this phase of HL). Along comes Sierra On-Line (at the time, on the decline but still the Adventure Game King and a monster in the industry), who sees the potential in HL and makes a deal with Valve...they finance the game's completion and, in return, get the publishing rights. Supposedly, it was like winning the lottery for little ole Valve. With serious the serious financial backing of Sierra behind them, Valve ends up redesigning and remaking HL into the game we all know and love today.
Oh, and the screens from the original HL build are mostly from a "making of" demo on the Diablo Hellfire CD that Sierra published in 1997 (or, at least, that's the only "official" place I've ever seen them). There's some really interesting stuff in that little demo.
