Phillip Announces: Beta Testers Collective
A new beta testing system for Half-Life mods has emerged, and whaddya know? Phillip Marlowe is behind it. Never saw that coming!
Portal 2 Repulsion Gel And Aerial Faith Plate #2
My goodness. Valve has been cranking out the trailers and screenshots for Portal 2 like crazy over the last few weeks, and while the previous were impressive and entertaining, the newest video shows off all kinds of fancy physics, graphics, and mechanics.
Half-Life 2: Wars Antlion Multiplayer
The LG dirigible has been awfully quiet over the last few days, probably because I realized I’m the only one up here. I thought Alex’s instructions were to purchase a company blimp, but Boss and Vic are working from the office waaaaayy down there. You know what that means?
BLIMP PARTY! And Half-Life 2: Wars news…
Overwatch Released
Only a year in development and tons of community support have allowed the Overwatch team to release the first public client. There has been a lot of private testing recently, and apparently the developers are comfortable with going public.
The mod boasts plenty of new features and is an interesting twist to the traditional Source mod algorithm. More information and trailer after the jump.

Minor Valve-related news has been piling up on my desk here at Lambda Generation HQ, and it’s really getting in the way of playing Team Fortress 2. So on a mission to improve my hand-to-keyboard interaction, I present to you a compilation of various Valve news.

Steam Game Releases: August 16th – 20th
There’s been some stuff happening on Steam lately. Like maybe… I don’t know… How about more Madballs DLC! Try to keep your pants on while clicking the “more” button!
And I definitely didn’t just remember to write this because of Vic’s comment in the latest roundup. No sir, I was prepared.
We Heart You Phillip Marlowe
Back on June 27, Phillip Marlowe wrote an article thanking William McMahon for all his work on Podcast 17 and in the Half-Life community. He spoke of his dedication and love for the game and the people who play it , and it was an extremely thoughtful thing for Phillip to do.
Phillip runs his own website, PlanetPhillip, where he reviews mods and maps for the Half-Life and Portal games along with providing download mirrors and forums. He doesn’t plaster his sites with ads nor demand attention to himself, something that we here at Lambda Generation love to do.
