Half-Life turns 10 today, Valve offering it up on Steam for 98 cents photo

#PC #Valve

The headline pretty much says it all. Today, Valve's highly-acclaimed PC shooter Half-Life turns 10-years-old. And with that, I can hear my bones creaking.

But the important stuff -- Half-Life is available on Steam starting now for only 98 cents. It anniversary pricing will only be available until 12:01 pm PST on November 21, so go get her while she's hot. And cheap. The way you like it. You naughty thing, you.

Mikey

That Gordon Freeman statue looks like Ben Affleck.

Edarios

if you dont own this game already, you can't call yourself a gamer.

pwned88

well I'll be damned, it does bare striking resemblance!

Mikey

In fact...where are his glasses?

nademagnet

And that girl's mug bears a striking resemblance to Ron Perlman!

Mikey

MrSadistic

It's the 00s.

He doesn't wear glasses anymore. He wears super-advanced nanomachine-powered contact glasses. He also shorted his name from Gordon to Gor because it's so edgy!!!!! Either that or the glasses fell off. Whatever!

Genfuyung

I just got it. Its installing now. :)

If I didn't have my original install key from back before Steam, I'd buy it

My brother bought me this for PC form my birf day a while back, else I would eat this .98 cents up like it was .50 cents.

Chicken008

Wii's birthday too, 2 years. :O

Guagloves

I would buy that for $1. Do it people. You will not be disappointed.

vexed alex

Bought.

@ Edarios

Good. Most gamers are stupid, obnoxious, they don't shower, and they lack social lives.

nukka jdav

I bought it and bought a copy for each of my (IRL) friends.

Ahh, such a good thing, Steam.

These deals get me all the time.

musicforus

And done.

Capn Birdseye

didnt they redo this using the HL2 engine? if so, is this the original or the redone version?

@vexed

Those are just the "hard (gears of halo - resistance) core" console crowd. Oh, and MMO gamers.

Sharpless

That picture is amazing. And it's really sad to admit this, but Ben Affleck would actually make a really good-looking Gordon Freeman. In fact, he might even be able to portray him well, I'm ashamed to say. But after Daredevil, do I really want to risk it?

Well, I don't like FPSing on PCs, but it's criminal not to buy a brilliant, legendary game like this when it's only a dollar.

Dexter345

Hmm, for a buck, I might just grab it.

RonBurgandy2010

Aren't there tons of mods for this thing?

Fuck it, I'm getting it anyway.

Rockvillian

Happy Birthday Glasses-less Gordon! I'm playing through Half Life: Source. So amazing.

vexed alex

@ Shirley Temple

No, it's pretty much the Final Fantasy cosplay crowd that stinks up the place. I've heard enough PAX and E3 horror stories, thank you.

Gears of War/CoD4/Halo fans are (mostly) too douchy to not shower. They need to smell good. Stink wouldn't match their Hollister shirts.
