A lot of things can change during the development of a game. Half-Life is rich with lore, and because of this, things have constantly changed during the series development.

Official Steam sections are appearing in retail stores across the US, UK and Canada. We took a quick look.

After some time in hibernation our podcast, All Things Lambda has risen from the ashes with a new episode.

If you’ve been following us on Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook, you’ve seen that a lot has happened this past week. Even if you set E3 aside there’s still things like the Summer Sale and the unveiling of Dota 2 as the first Source 2 game. There hasn’t been much coverage on the site of these major stories, so it’s time to change that. Time to catch-up.

It’s that time of year again, signalled by the smell of turning a digital copy of the Compendium that comes along with Dota 2’s The International event every summer.

It’s Episode 13, ‘The Unlucky Episode‘ of All Things Lambda – The LambdaGeneration Podcast. In this episode we discuss Filip Victor’s Half-Life 2: Update mod, Dota 2’s The International 2015 Tickets, an upside down Half-Life speedrun and much more!

The next live record date is April 26th at 12pm (PST) on our Twitch channel.

We look forward to having you in the chat, you can also ask questions to be discussed on the next show in the video comments or in the chat on the record day. If you enjoyed the show, make sure to subscribe to the LambdaGeneration YouTube channel and also follow us on Twitch!

In a post on the Official Dota 2 Blog, Valve have announced that tickets for The International Dota 2 Championship will be going on sale next Friday, 27th March.

This year the tournament will last 6 days and will be hosted at KeyArena, Seattle over the summer from August 3rd to August 8th and will see 16 of the world’s top teams compete for the Aegis of Champions shield.

So much exciting news has been going on, but so little updates about it. It’s time to fix that…

Get your freaky-stick-with-eyes and magic fairy dust out; it’s mine cleaning time. The Techies are here, and ready to cover the forest and lane with your giblets!

Recently Valve introduced new tools for the Dota 2 Workshop. But these are no meager ‘Authoring Tools’, this a full blown, updated, next gen, set of tools. Complete with a new version of Hammer, a Material Editor, and a Model Editor.
