Here at LambdaGeneration, we’re all artists. Well… somewhat.

Some of us believe that the use of vacuum cleaners and whatnot can produce music. Wonderful, wonderful music.

Others are actually artists.

But certain artists… well, see for yourself.

While it’s been an entire month since Halloween came and went, this is just too awesome for us to ignore it.

Ordinarily, I would joke around about how the pictures were actually taken at our office or something, but this is just too awesome.

“Half-Life 2: Wars”, an RTS mod for Source set in the HL2 universe, first popped up in November 2007 as Beta 0.1. The last release was Beta 0.5, back in July 2008, and since then, we’ve only caught a few glimpses of a future release.

It’s finally here, as Beta 1.0, now featuring multiplayer!

The awesome modders from the Half-Life 2: Short Stories Team are known for “Human Error”, an excellent episodic mod that puts the player in the shoes (well, more like high-tech 2020’s augmented-by-aliens combat boots) of a Civil Protection officer. The first episode dropped in the beginning of the year, and the team also released their awesome “Human Error: Traitor” multiplayer component earlier this year, but since then what have they been up to?
