I played the Half-Life games for many years. I started playing Half-Life in 1998. Upon my first visit to Landschaftspark Duisburg several years ago I experienced an environment similar like those I encountered when moving through various gamelevels in Half-Life 2: Episode One & Two (2006 & 2007).

With the respect for Valve and the developers of Half-Life and out of homage I positioned some Half-Life characters in this photo I took inside Landschaftspark Duisburg.

Half-Life 3...it could kick off in Duisburg!

I decided to try taking a screenshot of another game and putting a sim in to it to make a picture... and here's the result!

The girl in this picture is called Raven, who is a character in the series I'm writing called Ebony Feather. All I'm going to say is that she's an adult in the story, isn't human, and is a very motherly character lol. You will have to read it when it comes out for more info XD

The background is from Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, which happens to have amazing graphics... Not to mention it's all around awesome...

I hope you like it...

Ruby and Gordon Freedman (half-life2)

Gordon woke up with a splitting migraine. Turns out he had a really bad case of the crabs.

Is there a way to set FOV to lower than 75 in this game?

Half-Life 2: Update

- 4320x5760 via GeDoSaTo;

- In-game console commands for noclip, hide UI, etc.;

- ReShade framework.

At any rate, first as a matter of great urgency if you find yourself still within the confines of City 17 you are well advised to leave the city at once by the fastest means avalible to you!

Started my new job with Aperture sciences today, as a job perk they gave me an 'Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device' I put it to good use. got some nice details worth a look big

------------------------------------

Portal for those who don't know is a video game by valve software. with one of the best ever ending songs

This was a rather spontaneous and small project, even though something Half Life 2 related has been one of the things I wanted to try for ages. Finally got to do it today I guess.

The Metro Cops are far from easy to be recreated, but I hope this is sufficiently recognizable. So yeah, Half Life 2 LEGO Metro Cop, enjoy!

Also known as the Jalopy.

This is a little bit smaller than my usual scale, it was for a contest in October 2023.

I am really happy with how it turned out and hope you enjoy it as well!

Made with Mecabricks

To-do list: 1. Take Charger from 70% to 100% completion 2. Set up clean background for photos 3. Put that damn gnome into space

The most annoying part of Half-Life 2 inspired me.

Alonzo's most powerfull tool in combat, a modified waste disposal device, it allows him to pick up any object and use it as a weapon.

This was made for a collab on the Biscord

Gatecrasher Fence. Sheffield, UK.

Alonzo used to work in the waste disposal, but after the factory was attacked by Meltdown, he joined Hero Factory.

The suit fits him like a glove.

Procrastinating when I should have been writing I decided to revisit a title that blew me away a few years ago with new hardware in 4k. It's amazing to think that this title was originally released in 2005.

The boat,Fisherman and the bird was put there with Gmod. There's unlimited amount of stuff you can do with Garry's mod

Some more progress. Adding cables & Combine walls, widened the middle gap to represent the Citadel's 'active' state for a bit more visual interest. Currently planning on a 32x32 base for stability & surrounding landscape.

Just continuing my streak of Half-Life related MOCs. This is the scale to which I was trying to make my shotgun.

I just finished playing Half-Life2 episode 2 yesterday, so I built this today!

I think Half Life² will turn out to be mostly in Portraits :D

Half Life 2, first chapter. If you played the game you will recognize the scene.
