I played Half-Life 2 for the first time this year—here’s how it went

Quick Summary:

So my only knowledge about Half-Life 2 before starting this project was 1) the game is set in the same universe as Portal, a game I love, 2) the silent protagonist is named Gordon Freeman, and he looks uncannily like a silent, spectacled young Hugh Laurie, and 3) there's something called the Gravity Gun.

It's Half-Life 2 week at Ars Technica!

Not only have I not played it, but I've managed to keep myself in the dark about pretty much everything to do with it.
