Why Half-Life?

My record of the year of 2017 was definitely a wild ride considering all I have done among ancient video games. My particular curiosity of the immense world in which I would thrive from the start of vacation along my two week stay in Split, Croatia, was immediately overcome by the phrase ‘old but gold’, while suddenly I had an instant bond with the imperfect glimmers of the Goldsrc engine and beyond. At this point I am not at a certainty to recall even the first time I had encountered the historic corridors of Black Mesa, but still the quotes and rooms still graciously haunt my memories of all times that I had examined the stunningly clean, yet mosaic environment of Valve’s 1998 release.
