If you’re unfamiliar with the characters and plot from Half-Life and Half-Life 2 focused around the character of Gordon Freeman you can skip this and not feel that you missed anything.

Coast to Coast AM is a radioshow that I’ve found I’m only able to take in 5 to 10 minute bursts and focuses on cracked conspiracy theorists talking about psi and other junk.  Anyone, the host Mr. Noory was pranked by someone calling in as Gordon Freeman and bought the line, darg.  Video here.

I found this from skepchick.org.

Undaunted by yesterday’s utter failure I began planning a more efficient route on my time attack of Half-Life: Blueshift.  At one point after clearing out all bad guys I left to use the bathroom only to return 20 minutes later with my dead corpse being raped by a headcrab that over the course of the last 20 minutes had rendered me limb from limb 2 health points at a time.  Note to self: Hit escape before using the restroom.

I have set myself a goal of producing a speed run of Half-Life: Blue Shift.  If you’re not familiar, a speed run is where one tries to complete a game as quickly as possible, also called a time attack.  I set down at noon to begin with the initial goal of completing it by 2.  At 4 PM I rose from my computer and went to the bathroom with my head down.  At 6 I arose again to eat dinner.  At 7 I saw the line by Maxim Online with the review of Blue Shift stating “Stevie Wonder could beat the game in 5 hours.”   It appears I have some work to do.
