THE HALF-LIFE MARATHON TRUELY STARTS TODAY.

with a twist

We have a gameshow wheel, and people can suggest games to go up on the wheel. When it fills up, we spin. Whatever it lands on, we play that thing next.

Half-Life 3 is happening, we've known this for ages. However, something that doesn't seem to be happening? An ARG from Valve Software.

The next HLX video is up on Patreon, with a full release soon.

UPDATE!

The groups now planning to go forward with the AI idea, to make it seem that I was planning this attack with some of you in the server, and was scared and didn't end up going through with it.

I'm not planning on attacking Valve whatsoever.

Also my Twitter replies are a mess with them.

Tyler McVicker @tylermcvicker.bsky.social · Dec 27

This morning I was contacted by someone claiming that some TF2 cheating groups were building a botnet, along with a swatnet, to attack Valve's servers.

This person provided some proof that makes me believe there is some truth to these claims.
