Half-Life
A Resident Evil-Inspired HL2 Deathmatch Map
Here's a bit of a short post, just to share something kinda fun I uploaded! I decided to join in on tonight's LambdaGeneration Gamenight, and I was a bit hesitant at first since it was gonna be Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Co-Op on custom maps,
Achievements
Took Me Long Enough
As of today, July 2nd, 2026, at 1:11 AM UTC (Still July 1st for me), I have finally 100%'d Portal 2, as in I finally completed all of its achievements! For almost a year I've had only 50 of its 51 achievements, with the last
Half-Life
My Only Preferred Part of the Half-Life 2 Beta
About 2 months ago MrWeenus on YouTube shared an old video from 2006 by 1Up Network where they interviewed Valve during the development of The Orange Box, which included a lot of footage of early versions of Portal, Team Fortress 2, and — the main focus of this post — Half-Life

The Strangest Chapter In Half-Life 1
Previously in this blog I talked about Blast Pit, my favourite chapter from the original Half-Life. Today I am following that by talking about another chapter that's been in my mind, but for different reasons. Not necessarily a bad reason, though — in fact, that's exactly

Half-Life: Uplink - Review
Umm does this actually count as a thing in my Backlog? … Sure!
Team Fortress
I Also Like The Soldier
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
Team Fortress
My Current Favourite TF2 Class
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

A Game And a Half (-Life)'s Anniversary
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

Karl's Surfing Fumbles
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
