Updating Half-Life 2 with modern graphics
There’s some chat that this impressive update of Half-Life 2 to a better level of graphics isn’t impressive enough. Some gamers suggest the Cinematic Mod for the game is better. There’s a debate though. Half-Life 2 isn’t just about visuals; it’s about the mood and atmosphere. I think this mod does a good job at […]
Short film: Half-Life – Raise the Bar
This is a fan-made film inspired by Half-Life. The usual disclaimers apply; no affiliation, no copyright threat and the filmmakers would love it if the attack lawyers stayed at home. On the subject of staying at home; this is one day in which the workers at the Black Mesa Research Facility wished they had stayed […]
Short film: The Gravity Gun
Made for Geek Week by Corridor Digital this short film is a special effects showcase. The plot picks up after a band of rebels have managed to steal a gravity gun (think Half-Life) and a gem to power it. The following battles make great use of thoughtful special effects.

The headcrab cupcake of certain doom!
We’ve seen some odd cupcakes here on Geek Native over the years. Today, however, Liz from Artistic Aviary makes a play for one of the strangest. This is a bloody headcrab cupcake. Too good to eat? Too scary to eat? Is doom certain? Well, maybe… Via Obvious Winner.

Half-Life fan movie: Beyond Black Mesa
The fan made video Geek Native posted yesterday was Lazy Teenage Superheroes which was made with a budget of about $300. It was pretty good. There’s also the impressive Fallout fan film: Nuka Break. It’s a fan film festival! Imagine, then, what a fan made film with similar talent could do for $1,200. Beyond Black […]
Half-Life film: Beyond Black Mesa
Okay, for legal reasons, I think it’s best to call this a movie inspired by Half-Life. It’s a fan made production and isn’t official at all. However, it looks pretty darn good! They had a budget of $1,200. It’s taken two years to get this far. I don’t know about you but I’m already rooting […]
