The G-Man Hits the Spot

Runtime: 65 Minutes

Dave takes Rob to school as they take a look back at 2004's Half-Life 2. Once frequently talked about in conversations about the greatest games of all time, Half-Life 2 is barely an afterthought these days, but why is that? As part of today's episode, Rob and Dave talk about all the things that made Half-Life great, how it introduced a generation of gamers to PC gaming in general, and how there's a whole new generation of gamers that have no idea what Half-Life is. They wrap up the conversation discussing all the ways that Valve has found itself on the cutting edge of gaming technology, and, well, what's next? What's the next, latest and greatest, thing? Find out this and more on this little trek down Memory Card Lane.
