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.

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)
Note: Games are only available Free on the Amazon AppStore for a limited time. (USA only)

Angry Birds Land in Rio
Just when you thought they couldn’t get any angrier, the Angry Birds flock gains new cause for vengeance. Swept away by smugglers to Rio di Janeiro, their captors soon find out that these caged birds don’t sing. It’s time to bring back their unique brand of weaponry–the finger-powered slingshot–and launch the newest adventure in the world’s most popular physics-based casual game.
In the original Angry Birds, this peace-loving flock was hoodwinked by greedy green pigs with a hunger for poached eggs. After the pigs stole their precious eggs, this flock was friendly no more: unleashing an arsenal of angry bird artillery, the avian army smashed through the green pigs and their hideouts. The world pulled the trigger with glee as these ornery birds made bacon out of swine.
If there is such a thing as a “classic” in a mobile gaming genre that is still very young, Doodle Jump is exactly that. Millions have been charmed by the delightfully addictive gameplay and irresistible style of this casual platforming game.
Nowhere to Go But Up
The object of Doodle Jump is to guide the Doodler, an adorable, interminably hopping four-legged creature, up a series of never-ending platforms. Watch your step–miss a jump and the Doodler will fall to its doom. Some platforms are solid and steady, while others move, explode, or have other properties that create interesting challenges for the Doodler.
Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump
Mastering the perpetual motion of the Doodler is the key to moving up in the Doodle Jump world. You control the lateral direction of the Doodler by tilting your phone left and right. Doodle Jump uses your device’s accelerometer to enable pinpoint control. Alternatively, you can tap the sides of your touchscreen to bounce The Doodler left and right.
Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind
There are many obstacles and pitfalls hindering the Doodler’s upward mobility. Black holes dot the path, waiting to suck the Doodler in to the void, while UFOs float by hoping to abduct it with tractor beams. Even more frightening are the many hideous creatures lurking above, ready to send the Doodler tumbling back down to Earth.
Beware of angry robots
Fight Or Flight
Fortunately you have more than just the Doodler’s tireless legs to rely upon. Destroy bad guys by tapping the screen to fire Nose Ball projectiles. Take evasive action by picking up propeller hats, jet packs, and other items that can be used speed the Doodler past the many hazards that lie in its path.
Oodles Of Doodles
Artistically, Doodle Jump springs to life with beautifully illustrated environments. Originally modeled after a drawing sketchpad, Doodle Jump now features a number of stylized themes to play through, including a winter holiday landscape, a lush rainforest, and a distant corner of the galaxy. Rich scenery and dynamic gameplay make Doodle Jump a unique and timeless mobile gaming experience.
Al Davis, the renegade owner of the Oakland Raiders who bucked NFL authority while exhorting his silver-and-black team to "Just win, baby!," died Saturday. He was 82.
The Hall of Famer died at his home in Oakland, the team said. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.
"The Oakland Raiders are deeply saddened by the passing of Al Davis," the team said in a statement. "Al Davis was unique, a maverick, a giant among giants, a true legend among legends, the brightest star among stars, a hero, a mentor, a friend."
Indeed, Davis was one of the most important figures in NFL history -- a rebel with a subpoena. That was most evident during the 1980s when he went to court -- and won -- for the right to move his team from Oakland to Los Angeles. Even after he moved the Raiders back to the Bay Area in 1995, he sued for $1.2 billion to establish that he still owned the rights to the L.A. market.
Before that, though, he was a pivotal figure in hastening the merger between the AFL -- where he served as commissioner -- and the more established NFL. Davis was not initially in favor of a merger, but his aggressive pursuit of NFL players for his fledgling league and team helped bring about the eventual 1970 combination of the two leagues into what is now the most popular sport in the country.
"Al Davis's passion for football and his influence on the game were extraordinary," commissioner Roger Goodell said. "He defined the Raiders and contributed to pro football at every level. The respect he commanded was evident in the way that people listened carefully every time he spoke. He is a true legend of the game whose impact and legacy will forever be part of the NFL."
But Davis was hardly an NFL company man.
Not in the way he dressed -- usually satin running suits, one white, one black, and the occasional black suit, black shirt and silver tie. Not in the way he wore his hair -- slicked back with a '50s duck-tail. Not in the way he talked -- Brooklynese with Southern inflection. Not in the way he did business -- on his own terms, always on his own terms.
"His contributions to the game are innumerable and his legacy will endure forever through generations of players, coaches, administrators and fans," the Raiders said.
Elected in 1992 to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Davis was a trailblazer. He hired the first black head coach of the modern era -- Art Shell in 1988. He hired the second Latino coach, Tom Flores; and the first woman CEO, Amy Trask. And he was infallibly loyal to his players and officials: to be a Raider was to be a Raider for life.
Coach Hue Jackson told the team of Davis' death at a meeting in Houston on Saturday morning. Fans dressed in Raiders jerseys, meanwhile, quickly made their way to team headquarters in Alameda, where a black flag with the team logo flew at half-staff and a makeshift memorial formed at the base of the flag pole.
People carrying flowers, flags, silver and black pom-poms and even a football-shaped balloon stopped by to pay tribute on a warm, crystal clear fall day in the Bay Area. A tiny candle burned as well.
"It's like losing a grandfather," said Rob Ybarra of Alameda, who left a bouquet of white flowers shortly after hearing the news of Davis' passing. "He's such an icon. The face of the Raiders. It's hard to put into words how much he meant to everyone."
Davis is survived by his wife, Carol, and son Mark, who Davis had said would run the team after his death.
Davis was charming, cantankerous and compassionate -- a man who when his wife suffered a serious heart attack in the 1970s moved into her hospital room. But he was best known as a rebel, a man who established a team whose silver-and-black colors and pirate logo symbolized his attitude toward authority, both on the field and off.
Until the decline of the Raiders into a perennial loser in the first decade of the 21st century he was a winner, the man who as a coach, then owner-general manager-de facto coach, established what he called "the team of the decades" based on another slogan: "commitment to excellence." And the Raiders were excellent, winning three Super Bowls during the 1970s and 1980s and contending almost every other season -- an organization filled with castoffs and troublemakers who turned into trouble for opponents.
"Al was a football man -- his entire life revolved around the game he loved," said Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams, an original AFL owner of the Houston Oilers. "He worked his way up through the ranks and had a knowledge of all phases of the game. That experience aided him as an owner. He was quite different from every other owner in that way. As an AFL guy, he was in that group of people who pushed our league forward. I didn't get to see him over the last few years and I know many, including myself, will miss him."
Born in Brockton, Mass., Davis grew up in Brooklyn and graduated from Erasmus Hall High School, a spawning ground in the two decades after World War II for a number of ambitious young people who became renowned in sports, business and entertainment. Davis was perhaps the second most famous graduate after Barbra Streisand.
"We had a reunion in Los Angeles and 500 people showed up, including Bah-bruh," he once told an interviewer in that combination of southern drawl/Brooklynese that was often parodied among his acquaintances within the league and without.
A graduate of Syracuse University, he became an assistant coach with the Baltimore Colts at age 24; and was an assistant at The Citadel and then Southern California before joining the Los Angeles Chargers of the new AFL in 1960. Only three years later, he was hired by the Raiders and became the youngest general manager-head coach in pro football history with a team he called "the Raid-uhs" in 1963.
He was a good one, 23-16-3 in three seasons with a franchise that had started its life 9-23.
Then he bought into the failing franchise, which played on a high school field adjacent to the Nimitz Freeway in Oakland, and became managing general partner, a position he held until his death.
But as the many bright young coaches he hired -- from John Madden, Mike Shanahan and Jon Gruden to Lane Kiffin -- found out, he remained the real coach. He ran everything from the sidelines, often calling down with plays, or sending emissaries to the sidelines to make substitutions.
In 1966, he became commissioner of the AFL.
But even before that, he had begun to break an unwritten truce between the young league and its established rivals, which fought over draft choices but did not go after established players.
Although the NFL's New York Giants' signing of Buffalo placekicker Pete Gogolak marked the first break in that rule, it was Davis who began to go after NFL stars -- pursuing quarterbacks John Brodie and Roman Gabriel as he tried to establish AFL supremacy.
Davis' war precipitated first talks of merger, although Davis opposed it. But led by Lamar Hunt of Kansas City, the AFL owners agreed that peace was best. A common draft was established, and the first Super Bowl was played following the 1966 season -- Green Bay beat Kansas City, then went on to beat Davis' Raiders the next season. By 1970, the leagues were fully merged and the NFL had the basic structure it retains until this day -- with Pete Rozelle as commissioner, not Davis, who wanted the job badly.
So he went back to the Raiders, running a team that won Super Bowls after the 1976, 1980 and 1983 seasons -- the last one in Los Angeles, where the franchise moved in 1982 after protracted court fights. It was a battling bunch, filled with players such as John Matuszak, Mike Haynes and Lyle Alzado, stars who didn't fit in elsewhere who combined with homegrown stars -- Ken Stabler, another rebellious spirit; Gene Upshaw; Shell, Jack Tatum, Willie Brown and dozens of others.
After extended lawsuits involving the move to Los Angeles, he went back to Oakland and at one point in the early years of the century was involved in suits in northern and southern California -- the one seeking the Los Angeles rights and another suing Oakland for failing to deliver sellouts they promised to get the Raiders back.
"Personally, I was fond of him," Bengals owner and president Mike Brown said. "He battled with the NFL, and a lot of us wished that had not been where things went, but under all that was a person I respected. It saddens me to hear that he is gone."
As Davis aged, his teams declined.
The Raiders got to the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, losing to Tampa Bay. But for a long period after that, they had the worst record in the NFL, at one point with five coaches in six years.
It is fitting that this year's Raiders team is built in typical Raiders fashion with a bevy of speedsters on offense capable of delivering the deep-strike play Davis always coveted, a physically imposing defensive line that can pressure the quarterback and an accomplished man coverage cornerback in Stanford Routt.
Once a constant presence at practice, training camp and in the locker room, Davis was rarely seen in public beyond the bizarre spectacles to fire and hire coaches where he spent more time disparaging his former coach than praising his new one.
He did not appear at a single training camp practice this summer and missed a game in Buffalo last month, believed to be only the third game he missed in 49 seasons with the franchise. Davis did attend Oakland's home game last week against New England.
Although he was no longer as public a figure, he was still integrally involved in the team from the draft to negotiating contracts to discussing strategy with his coaches. Jackson has said Davis was unlike any other owner he had worked for in his ability to understand the ins and outs of the game.
"I've never had the opportunity to sit and talk football, the X's and O's and what it takes to win in this league consistently on a consistent basis, and there's nothing like working for coach Davis," Jackson said.
While other owners and league executives branded Davis a renegade, friends and former players found him the epitome of loyalty.
When his wife was stricken with a heart attack, he moved into her hospital room and lived there for more than a month. And when he heard that even a distant acquaintance was ill, he would offer medical help without worrying about expense.
"Disease is the one thing -- boy I tell you, it's tough to lick," he said in 2008, talking about the leg ailments that had restricted him to using a walker. "It's tough to lick those diseases. I don't know why they can't."
A few years earlier, he said: "I can control most things, but I don't seem to be able to control death."
Al Davis is the only owner to ever do this:
http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d8021fe9b/Top-Ten-Draft-Steals-Ray-Guy
Draft a first round punter and get a top 10 all time steal in the draft. That particular draft pick almost summarizes Al Davis as an owner of the Oakland Raiders. He was both genius and insane. Whatever side of that line he was on that day was anyone's guess.
He drafted Nnamdi Asomugha, who was too slow to play corner and "would have to convert to safety". Asomugha is now easily the best (press/bump) man cover boundary corner in the NFL. Again, it's about what side of that Genius vs Insane line he was on that day.
He also selected plenty of guys who had amazing triangle numbers (40 yard dash, height/weight, bench press) and became somewhat of a punchline at times. This is truly a tragedy, as some will remember him this way and not as the man who made the Raiders great.
Al Davis is only person to ever be a coach, GM, owner, and commissioner (of the AFL).
Bill Belichick, after being fired from Cleveland and before winning 3 Super Bowls in NE, interviewed to be the coach of the Raiders but didn't think he'd get the job because "Mr Davis was basically their defensive coordinator so they'd probably look for an offensive minded guy." He also described Mr Davis as a very knowledgeable owner, who during said interview asked many in depth football questions.
It's sad to see Al die, but it's sadder to see Al die with the Raiders where they are now (though, they are getting better) because that man loved that team. It's even sadder that so many NFL fans don't understand why he is in the Hall of Fame.
Rest in Peace Mr Davis.

4 things you need to know about Resident Evil 5, now on SHIELD Android TV
It doesn’t feature 'zombies'
Practically synonymous with zombies, Resident Evil hasn’t actually had any since 2000’s Code Veronica. The next virus, the Plaga, was worse – it turns living people into murderous, super-strong puppets of an evil master.
Now the Type 2 Plaga has turned the West African town of Kijuju into 'Majinis' – crazed mutants who lurk in shadows and kill in mobs. Even blowing off their heads can reveal something worse. Writhing tentacles are common in Kijuju, as are flying monsters, chainsaw-revving freaks, and even whip-swinging psychos on motorcycles.
Zombies would seem like a holiday at this point.
You’re not fighting Umbrella
Who could forget the sinister Umbrella Corporation and its stark red-and-white logo? Certainly not Chris Redfield, who finally took it down in 2007’s The Umbrella Chronicles, and returns in Resident Evil 5.
Unfortunately, Umbrella’s viruses didn’t disappear with it. They’ve fallen into the hands of Tricell, a multinational company led by the treacherous, aristocratic scientist Excella Gionne. Her creations lead to six chapters of increasingly fearsome mutants, gigantic boss battles and a fantastic final showdown.
While Tricell is a new enemy, Albert Wesker isn’t. Wesker began as leader of the Special Tactics And Rescue Service – S.T.A.R.S – in Raccoon City, but betrayed everyone. Having spent years manipulating events remotely (and apparently watching The Matrix) he at last shows up in the flesh, in a long black coat and shades, rocking mind-warping superpowers. Fans of the series will relish the chance to finally take him down.
