Stories
Story #4 at Twisted has been added by James again. A good read.
Haven Hosts
The Half-life Haven has hosted their first site. Here' what the
hosted site has to say:
We a group of people gathered together via ICQ and this very web site in order to play Half-Life addon multiplayer levels with one another. Since the dedicated servers
won't have anything to do with 3rd party levels, we have assembled in order to play ip games with the newest addons. We use ICQ as a means to communicate and
organize games. Half-Life players have been blessed immensely with the great level editor, Worldcraft. For the splendid levels made with this powerful tool to go
unplayed would be a crime. The point of HLMAG is simply standardization. With all members having the same levels, skins, and perhaps even mods, you can easily get
a game going of the latest and greatest addon levels. HLMAG is not a squad, it is merely a large group of people joined together to play addon games....

All this found on Half-life.net.

Story
Whee, Story #4 over at Twisted has been added to by James.
Story #5 has also been added to by Abevec, dealing with umm...I'll
quote Twisted because I don't get paid for this:
a long, militaristic story that frequently changes focus on
different squads throughout the story. The characters are seemingly disposable
and most are just extras on a journey to their deaths. There is also one or two
pretty gruesome deaths such as a giant magnet pulling a guy's stock of bullets
up through his body
Help wanted
Twisted needs two gif's: 1) a 88x31 netscape now sized one and 2) a
468x60 banner. Preferably animated, low in size and zipped.
VX half-life needs a replacement for Soultaker as a news hound.
(note to Soultaker: don't visit #half-life for a while).
Hosting
Beat the crowd (if any) for getting a hosted site at Half-life.net.
Go here for all the info. Keep in mind, that the site will not be up now but whenever
half-life.net comes.
I'm an idiot
I've had the 16th of July stuck in the headlines for a few days, fixed now.

New Storys
So, I get inspired by the recent surge of writers and finally get something for Story #2.
This is the one where Gordon is fat, and he and a co-guard, Charlie, see a scientist zombified
and shot by the human grunts. I merged the story into the first one I did for Story #1, bu then I realized
that then no one could add to Story #1 because it would all mirror the one I just did so, I had the main
character from Story #1 mysteriously disappear. Go read it at Twisted Half-life.
E pa, Some anonymous guy wrote an addition to Story #3
Go read it at Twisted Half-life.
Our in-house homey, Mike, has started Story #4. Gordon is finally the center of the story and is the way he seems
to be in the actual Half-life game. It's long, so you'll have something to do during work.
Go read it at Twisted Half-life.
- 9:42 P.M. EST
New Story
Story #3, the swat team one, has been added to by Dre born, so read it.
Mike from here also wrote a forth story from the view of Gordon. Gotta read it.
Both found on Twisted Half-life.
- 7:12 A.M. EST
The Rocket Tube
A really cool new site dedicated to Half-life and Team Fortress2 weapons, called The Rocket Tube, is up here.
Check it out.
- 4:28 P.M. EST
Released
Someone faked Gabe's e-mil address and sent people a fake release date, but I seemed to miss all this, so either
stick with the July 32nd date or visit the RIYF page for a java countdown til Half-life.
Crime..that's Organized
New DM group called Organized crime has started. Their page is here.
Bg's
Twisted got a nice new custom wallpaper by PDC_Blitz the creator of stories 2 & 3. So check it out and add to the stories.
VX2sleep
Soultaker from VX has left and joined the crew at sleepnever central.
Thanx
Thanx to Half-life Haven, and Alien HQ for site mentions.
- 7:06 A.M. EST
Guardians of Darkness
A new Dm group has started. Whether they are clans, squads or guardians, I'm not sure; when the URL is available, I will post it.
Here's the story they wrote:
We are the Guardians of Darkness, a group sent out to protect earth from the evil aliens of the universe, our clan consist of aliens and humans brought together by project GoD.
You could say we are the "Men In Black" of the Half-Life universe. In other words we are your only line of defense; your lives are in our hands.
A portal has opened between our two worlds. We call this portal the darkness. Help us fight the scum of the universe by joining forces with the Guardians of Darkness.
- 7:17 A.M. EST

HL101 01 Summer Session #2
Found over on the Breeding Grounds and a few others that the
Half-life Haven has put up an info intro for new-comers to the half-life scene. Nice read.
- 8:40 P.M. EST
3rd movie
I have the third movie mirrored here. It's the one with alien
grunts in the water containers. (4.7M)
- 4:36 P.M. EST
2 screens
Purified3d has gotten two exculsive screens up one of a barney
in front of a zombie(of something) and another of two bullsquids um...fighting. So head on over and take a look.
3 movies
Twisted Half-life, one of the great new Half-life sites has gotten 3 new movies for our viewing pleasure.
One of a headcrab in action, one of grunts in action and the third of the alien specimen containers. I still
have yet to d/l them, I'll probably take a look Monday at work.
And while your there. Please read the stories
and add something to them. One has to do with a fat gordon and his encounters with the grunts, and the other
is about three scientists who enjoy soap operas, and are thrown into this whole mess.
Thanx
Thanx goes out to Sleepnever Central and The Breeding Ground for a warm welcome back to the realm of the living.
- 9:30 A.M. EST
Release date
I know it is foolish to beleive that anyone would beleive a release date, but I got a reliable source to leak
out that the Half life demo will be out on July 32, so not too much longer.
Old School
Many people have entered the Half-life scene since I left, so I'd like to re-post this interview with Ted Backman
which introduces the alien controller and the kingpin, two characters that haven't been mentioned.
- 11:06 P.M. EST
