As of today, February 12th 2016, CombineOverwiki – The original Half-Life and Portal Wiki, turns 10 years old.
We recently sat down with Richard Seabrook, the developer of the upcoming fan-made Half-Life: Opposing Force sequel, Prospekt, to ask him some questions about the game and it’s development. We also put forward some questions to him from the community too.
You can watch the video interview below.
We’d like to wish all of our readers a Happy New Year, we hope you have a great 2016!
We recently passed over 1 million monthly hits for our site too, which is a big achievement for us, so thanks to everyone who has supported LambdaGeneration over the past year. We have big plans in store for 2016!
In the meantime, there’s an ARG to solve!
Last year we embarked on a journey. Playing through Half-Life 2 and it’s episodes within a 24-Hour Live Stream. I crashed into invisible walls, took on the combine and got dominated in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. Now a year later, we are unearthing the entire archive of the stream.
We’re excited to announce that we will be hosting a livestream of the recently released ‘Portal The Uncooperative Cake Acquisition Game‘ board game, which was designed by staff at Valve and published by Cryptozoic Entertainment in September.
After some time in hibernation our podcast, All Things Lambda has risen from the ashes with a new episode.
Do you like Half-Life 2? Do you like Hotline Miami? If yes to both, then boy do we have just the thing for you.
So far we have seen 8-bit style box artwork, soundtrack remixes, and even an early stage Sega Master System port, but Newgrounds user ‘UnrealCanine‘ is the first person to actually create a full-blown Half-Life 8-bit remake, or rather, a ‘demake’.
If you’ve been a follower of the Steamcast Podcast and have been wondering what happened to their website, Twitter and RSS feed, don’t worry they’re still around, just under a different name.
Due to a legal problem regarding the name ‘Steamcast’, the podcast has had to rename itself to ‘Steamchat Podcast’, which fortunately has also allowed them to keep their logo and acronym intact.
I first met the folks of Half-Life 2: Episode Two Done Quick in the Twitch chat of a stream I was doing for the Black Mesa countdown. Later, they were kind enough to answer some questions I had about EP2DQ, their relationship with Half-Life, and how they got into speed-running. Check it out after the jump.
A year and a half ago, in late 2010, Michael “DemonStrate” Yanni created a jaw-dropping 9-minute speedrun of the original Portal, titled “Portal Done Pro“. It was the new world-record time for the fastest playthrough of Portal 1, and understandably, it was widely publicized at the time.
But you know what they say: records are made to be broken. And yesterday, PDP’s world record was not only broken, but smashed wide open. Read on!
A new blog, ‘Things we got before Half Life 3‘ has been created to remind us all of everything that man has accomplished in the absence of Half-Life 3.
Another year has passed and Half-Life 3 still hasn’t been released.
Not to worry though, thanks to a Reddit user we now have a dedicated website to constantly check the current status of the game’s unforeseen release – HasHalfLife3BeenReleased.com.
For this week’s Community Spotlight we wanted to feature a project known as “Steam Database” or “SteamDB” for short.
Essentially, SteamDB is an online tool which catalogues information about games and applications on the Steam Store. It acts as a one-stop shop for pretty much everything and anything that you need to know about every single release on Steam, from technical data such as “AppIDs” and “depot configurations” to sales information such as DLC listings and worldwide pricing, it even gathers live player statistics.
The popular GoldSrc speedrunner ‘quadrazid‘, known for his Half-Life in 20:41 speedrun, just uploaded a new run of the game, however this time things are a little upside down…
