Posts relating to my favourite video game studio! This includes everything relating to Half-Life, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and all other games they have created.
Team Fortress
I just wanna add a small addendum to what I talked about a few days ago of The Engineer being my favourite TF2 class. Although I do really like the Engineer and is probably my over-all favourite, I have to say that it is in part because I am mostly
Team Fortress
As I mentioned a while ago, I finally started playing Team Fortress 2, which I've been meaning to for years. I am kind of shy of playing multiplayer games so I still have only played bot matches, however I have played them a lot, and at this point
Video Games
Today is the anniversary of a game that is very special to me! Today is also the anniversary of a small DLC level for another game that's just as special to me (the game that is, not just the particular level), and so I wanna talk about them

For a few months now I have been trying to get into surfing in Counter-Strike: Source. Trying being the operative word. In CS: Source (amongst other games) one of the most famous community modes is called surfing, a parkour-like mode where you use slopes that make you gain momentum and
Valve
Here is a fun coincidence between two Valve games! The most common achievement in both Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Left 4 Dead 2 are both called "Acid Reflex"! I can't really think of any other achievements between Valve games that share a name like this
Half-Life
Hi guys. Yesterday I talked about a Half-Life reference in an old Minecraft achievement, and in that post I committed something terrible that I wish to apologize for… I used a screenshot from Half-Life: Source.

Today is October 10, 2025! Meaning that The Orange Box turns 18 years old today, hooray!!! Technically, The Orange Box is my favourite video game of all time, as it features my favourite game of all time, Portal! And it also premiered two other games which I also adore, Half-Life

Although I haven't been able to continue playing as many new games as I'd like to, I have been looking for some games I could play more of simply to relax my mind a little! Fortunately, I noticed that a possible answer to both things has
Portal
An extremely silly coincidence relating to Portal's cut content.
Portal
It was only while writing about #RememberPortal yesterday that I noticed that I have actually barely talked about the game at all in this blog, despite being my favourite game of all time. I guess I've just had more of my focus on Half-Life 2 lately. Anyways, a
Portal
On August 9, 2025, at 3:00 PM UTC (exactly 36 hours after uploading this), there will be a big Portal community event called #RememberPortal! Where we will try to get as many people playing Portal 1 at the same time as possible. #RememberPortal - LambdaGenerationOn August 9 2025, Valve
