Half Life 2 Live Action Short Film

The First Live Action Half Life 2 Short Film. Entitled “Escape from City 17″, made by The Purchase Brothers.

The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500.

The CG is well made, and the action is great. A nice short movie, especially if you’re a Half Life fans

Lost When Drunk

Yaay! the Lost drinking game, where you can channel your frustation on so many mysterious things on Lost to alcoholism!

Take a sip whenever: Someone has daddy issues. (Your father being a malevolent spirit force living on a magical island counts as daddy issues.)
