Okay, the latest featured story is a throw-back to our Half-Life story days. It’s one of our less talked about tales.
Most visitors that remember the site from those early years think of certain key image stories. Specifically, the Barney Time Series or, on occasion, one of the other team-made plots. But some of the best, most creative stories were fan-made.
In this case, I’m thinking of a story by R. Tarrman. “INVASION”
The story follows an unnamed scientist from an undisclosed facility that looks a lot like Black Mesa. When he awakes in the locker room to find blood and death have filled the halls, he becomes concerned. Then he encounters aliens and knows that his only recourse is to travel into the Black Mesa Research facility and find a way to stop the Xen invasion.
Of course, as with most of our stories, this one is based more around humor and is no where near as dramatic as it sounds.
This story is a 31 page image story on the Half-Life Stories page. The majority of the jokes appear toward the end of the story when the scientist joins with Barney the security guard to stop the aliens.
When all else fails… turn to the Holy Book of Final Fantasy!
