Gonarch's Lair episode 11: The Half-Life Special part 3 ~ Riff-Writer General

The Gonarch's Lair and Off-Planet podcasts

In the third and final part of the Half-Life special we explain the story of Half-Life 2 and it’s sequels, discuss the varying difficulty of Half-Life 2’s achievements, and we speculate on potential movie tie-ins and Valve’s fear of the number three. We also debate the use of 'Mr. Exposition' in Sci-Fi TV series, biological warfare, the disappearance of physical PC games due to Steam’s monopolization of the PC gaming market, Ross’ hatred for daffodils, neutering cats, and we make a plea for sponsorship from a well-known brewery. Citadel citations include Ross showing his true colours, Terry’s appeal for more bears in nature documentaries and Thom arguing that it wouldn’t be entirely emasculating to become a eunuch.
