Episode 105 - Half-Life 2

Nate, Sebastian, and Jordan gather to discuss HALF-LIFE 2,
Valve's 2004 sequel shooter with a gun that throws heavy objects.
We discuss the limits of narrative in first-person shooters, the
shifting boundaries of the uncanny valley, and how every NPC in
the game can't stop talking about what a big, strong man Gordon
Freeman is. Nate admits to finally warming to the Half-Life
franchise, Jordan recalls leaving his first days wrangling with
Steam, and Sebastian refers to the game's sound effects as
"little Proustian cookies."
