Comments: Very funny in it's own sense, especially the twist ending.Synopsis: When a typical raid by Civil Protection goes awry, this elite is thrown into a wild and crazy adventure.Recommended by Pointblank 28, MC Ham Guy.The Raid: (An Elite's worst nightmare) by The Airman It's been 2 years since last update, and BA hasn't shown any sign of activity in this interval. Status: Can be officially considered a Dead Fic.My only complaint is that Katya is little more than a clone of Alyx, but this bit's outweighted by the good things. The misdeeds in Ravenholm are of particular notice as one of the fic's high points. Shephard's character reflects his experience at Black Mesa, and the group he's a part of is very interesting in their own right.

Synopsis: A machinima of the first Half-Life, basically playing the game with commentary in character as the usually Heroic Mime Freeman.Recommended by Doctor Worm, Rakuen, Unclouded_TJ, Tacitus.You guys made me feel emotional as I watched it today.Freeman's Mind by Ross Scott, located here.
