Half-Life 2 anniversary update with dev commentary in the game, a new documentary video by #Noclip crew and the 2 episodes integrated in the same game.

Here goes my weekend?

(Also it’s free on steam if acquired in the next two days, but I had the game for 20 years)

I'm glad #GOG is starting to highlight more how much it does for preservation, it's not "just another store": https://www.gog.com/en/gog-preservation-program

I'd also highly recommend the #NoClip documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffngZOB1U2A

NoClip Just dropped an amazing new documentary on the guy who created de_dust de_cbble and de_dust2

Amazing trip down memory lane.

I was an Unreal and Unreal Tournement player but I did like a little dabble in CS when Source came out.

The nostalgia hits hard with this one so be prepared

The Wipeout 2097 Noclip documentary is painfully nostalgic. Watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nwWpQJFGp8

I love #Noclip's docs, they're the extreme level of detail I crave about games I love.

At the start of this one, they say, "We're now closer to when the first game is set in time than when the game actually came out."

... and my brain did a long jelly wobble in its calcium phosphate cell.

if you're wondering what he's up to, as he left Firaxis a year and a few months ago, Danny O'Dwyer interviewed him for his Dear Dwyery series :

Jeremy Jayne, from the Noclip crew, shares another JayneDev video.

Haven't watched it yet, but I would bet there's good tidbits of experience in there, if the previous ones are anything to go by :

Really great mini series of game dev breakdown by NoClip. Love the attention that has been paid to camera and secrets in Tunic:

I'm continually mad that 1 week is little too long to go without clipping my fingernails but a regular twice a week is too short. #nails #fingernails #clipping #noclip #noclippingmode
