Details:
Directed by The Purchase Brothers.
The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500.
Additional Notes:
Valve flew the team out to Seattle last year, and the brothers have been in communication with them since.
Derek Chan, and Ian Purchase are the two resistance fighters.
David and Ian Purchase are commercial directors represented by Sons and Daughters in Toronto. They are working on an unannounced feature film. Not HL related.
They have been huge fans of HL since the days of "ivan the space biker'
So, is this a trailer movie?
Or a new game will come soon?
I love Half life game!!
Updated original post with the additional info from the youtube page, amazing work.
I think is a new game coming soon

Indeed, a new game is in the works but this is purely a fan-made production. They sent this to Valve without prior notice and have been working with Valve since. Amazing usage of CG and even home-made outfits. The used to Valve/Source SDK and abused it.
One of the best CG creations I have ever seen other than the Elephants Dream 9 minute short made overseas all open source. (HL 2 thing isn't open source but check out Elephants Dream)
Ok, so ever since I got my HD7, i noticed the marketplace is storming with a lot of free game apps. Which ones would you consider an addictive app download?
I for one like Unite and much fun that Teeter (on HD, HD2).
Flowers (an Xbox live title), Color Flow and Poker Square are the only freebies I've tried that I played more than once or twice before deleting.
What blows my mind is the number of Tic Tac Toe games on there. With even basic common sense every game should end in a tie. I guess it's a decent game for people to practice with for development purposes... I just fear we're eventually going to have a marketplace with 30,000 apps, 26,000 of which are Tic Tac Toe.
I never really had a chance to play tic tac toe. I should check it out. I saw it on there but didn't look appealing to me. Flowers as well, the same thing.
Impossible Shoota is a good freebie.

ALWAYS keep moving.
Free games, there are very few worth to play.
My favorite NFS, is not free..........
But if you pay for that...you probably wouldn't pay for any other game so it might be worth the buy for you, lol
I couldn't possibly care less about these sort of games. This puts me in, I'd venture, less than 3% of the young male population of this country who can buy an Xbox or whatnot in the first place.
Discuss.
Homework or a public speaking competition? Sweet Idea, will post my arguments once others give me ideas

More like inciting a flame war. ^_^ j/k
I've never liked racing, shooting, or sports games, which I've found doesn't sit well with most men my age (22). Just wondering what fellow techies think.
Usually I get a "wow, I can't believe another human being has different tastes than me" response. I don't think I've ran into a "Wow you're so gay" response but it's only a matter of time. =/

Yep same. I'm different to everyone in my school. Everyones got iphoned, I got a Desire, now everyones jealous haha.. anyways, I like racing and shooting games. Just the real ones. CoD and GT not things like killzone or WoW. Though I don't play often, every 2–3 weeks maybe, I do enjoy some adrenalin pumping through my veins when I due just begore the end of the mussion. It makes me more determined to finish correctly the next time etc..
Everyones always asking me when I'm online next to play a bit of CoD or whatever and I just don't understand how you can become addicted to something that doesn't actually exist. Well it does but not really, you know what I mean : )

LOL been a gamer for too long. But I have never told anyone that they were "gay" because they didn't like to game.
But.. usually they were women.
well im different to everyone in my school.
most of the lads in my year like football and cod.
"medal of honor- is ****"
"driving games - ****"
"every other game apart from cod and fifa- is ****"
i have been called gay because i have long hair and i like rock music and drum and bass (and others).
i think the reason they call you gay is because they don't like people that are different and like other things.
about 1 year ago everyones phones where sony ericssons (crap ones)
and samsung tocco lites (horrible)
but 1 lad had a t-mobile g1.
i had my 7 year old htc himalaya brick (excellent phone)
now quite a few have htc's desires, hero, legend. (and obviously don't know about xda (what a pitty))
people seem to follow other people and call you weird because you are not following.
sorry if i drifted off topic.
i like driving games, fps (half-life excellent!!)
im a gran turismo guy i love that game, i also enjoy a nice helping of cod now and then too, i cant stand football soccer or basketball games though
COD - meh
FIFA - meh
GT5 - drool
Well, an explanation is warranted for the above...
I never really got the hang of FPS games in multiplayer, mostly because I used to pwn at CounterStrike and Half-Life, but a hiatus during my formative days (read, TEENAGE) lost my edge in FPS games. Mostly I will check out the single player experience, and if it gains enough traction amongst my friends, I'll get the original copy. Mostly, for group enjoyment purposes, we game L4D if we wanna play FPS. I'm just waiting for Crysis 2 (as an excuse to upgrade my Gfx card more than anything else )
FIFA... well... is a game for douchetards who imagine that they have the skills needed to take Leo Messi/CR to whatever glories that in real life they couldn't achieve (both for the gamers and the players). Simply said, it gives little to none benefits, and merely act as an escapement and commercial device. For the more serious guys, we play futsal, which is like football played in a netball field. Pacing is fun, especially since players with less stamina can join in and height doesn't bring that much of a benefit (read, GIRLS CAN PLAY TOO). And for the brainiacs, we play Football Manager 2011.
GT5 is going to be something of a old history for me. It's more of a nostalgia device than something of real enjoyment. Back in the days, me and my brother played GT1, GT2, GT3, and probably GT4. To my brother, who is an engineer by now, it is the most accurate depiction of a car on the race-track. I'll skip the nostalgia bit... Anyway, since neither of us own a PS3, and neither of us plans to own a PS3, this game will forever reside in the droolworthy section of our hindbrains, possibly forever.
The problem with me is I'm probably in the less than 0.05% zone. I'm a self-professed geek that likes to party and do sports. I could, enjoyably, spend the afternoon tinkering with my PC/phone or just dump everything to hang out with friends, chilling out and maybe finding the answers to life (we checked, its not 42).
So gaming is cool and all that, but it's not the be all and end all for me
Gotta say... I love GT5 lol. I think I like it more than GT3 or 4 because I'm actually trying now lol. I used to have a Game Shark, Code Breaker, and Action Replay to cheat my way to having (basically) infinite cash, the AI guys wouldn't move, and every car would have like 16x acceleration lol. It made it fun cause I could get what I wanted when I wanted, but ruined the sense of accomplishment needed to make it feel way better. I actually HAVE to try and succeed in this now, which is awesome imo.
Call of Duty is cool, but I'm not into it as much anymore as I am with GT5 now.
FIFA is a game I'll never play. I don't do sports, nor like them; especially soccer.

That is VERY cool and I didn't know that. Sucker as I am for new experiences, it makes me want to play it again with this knowledge.

Haha, I hope I'm reading your implications right: b/c size isn't an issue, women can play the sport side-by-side with men. The other implication would be a little... off-putting. >.<

Sorry I paraphrased your Quote
1) Nothing wrong with Long Hair and playing Bass. I did both for a long time - but now the hair fell out and I play a little guitar (i.e. it stares at me taunting me on the wall collecting dust due to RL stealing all my time)
2) Your unique... just like everybody else
3) Half Life is probably the BEST GAME EVER. And I'm a sucker for driving games. I haven't purchased GT yet as I know my wife would kill me while I was going around the track at 4am.
YOU DON'T LIKE THOSE GAMES!!! wow!!, i didn't know another human being could have such different taste to me.
But seriously 'normal' at my school is f'd up compared to everybody elses, screamo metalheads and emos rule the street and jocks are considered to be on the same level as the scum you find in public toilets... its a weird place.
Im lucky anyway because im a self admitted nerd at school but for some strange reason nobody believes me? (WTF's with that!?!) Which is especially strange considering people are paying me to set up snow leopard hackintosh on their pc's.
My favorite shooter is Gears o' War 2 (can't really call it fps), but, uh, what do you guys think of bioshock? I personally don't like it, much to the disdain of all my friends who are obsessed with it.

Wow, that is strange. At my school there was no "jock" contingency either, but why would there necessarily have to be, stereotypes are stereotypes.
What IS indeed common to probably every school ever are cliques. I'm guessing it's the 'us vs. them' mentality that's so crucial to so many living things.

Soccer is the worst game (notice I didn't call it a sport) in the history of mankind.
Hey guys,
This is highly off-topic, but I've been here a while so I figured I'd give my brethren a chance to take part in a new contest. There is a new game coming out this year called "Firefall." Some of you may have heard of it, most of you haven't. It's a PC game currently in beta stages that aims to be the best MMOFPS since Tribes. Red 5 Studios, the developers of the game, are running a contest to promote the game and give us gamers a chance to win some prizes. The contest page can be found HERE.
Basically, using the clips and music provided you must create a trailer showcasing your preferred class. I've seen all the entries and I strongly believe that our smart members here at XDA can beat out the competition in a matter of hours. I personally made mine in a day and I've got a good chance of winning the grand prize.
As for what the prizes are, well I'm glad you asked.
First prize: All expense paid trip to PAX 2012 for you and a friend with a 3 Day/Night stay at a fancy hotel, paid airfare, and $500 spending cash.
Second prize: A brand new Alienware M14x with a quad core i7 (2600x), 4 GBs of RAM, and a GeForce 553m with 3 GBs of VRAM.
Third prize: A custom branded Astro A40 gaming headset.
If you're like me and have an outdated laptop that moreso resembles a toaster oven than a PC, you might want to take a shot at making a video and upgrade that mess to a shiny new Alienware.
For reference, here is my trailer I made. Feel free to like the video to promote an XDA member winning the competition, or make your own and give me a run for my money .
Hello xda-community,
today, I've got a nice free game-mix for you'all, which I've waited a long time for,o here it is:
http://stabyourself.net/mari0/
Two genre defining games from completely different eras: Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. and Valve's Portal. These two games managed to give Platformers and First-Person Puzzle Games a solid place in the video game world. But what if Nintendo teamed up with Valve and recreated the famous Mario game with Portal gun mechanics?

That's what it is! It's just funny to play (even in 4player local coop) - I really like it
P.S. - No commercial or ad here, just a little "i-want-to-let-you-know"-thread
Downloaded it yesterday, and was gonna start this thread lol.
It's freaking awesome. My two favorite games in one. You have to get used to it though. Playing mario with a mouse and all. lol
I know what you mean. It's pretty hard though!
Well, just played now. Just got refreshed my childhood memories playing 24x7.
Any idea how many levels it contains ?
I'm sure the original was 'never-ending'
Did not know him. thank you very much
