    Gee, there does seem to be a lot of Half-Life news recently. Almost as
    if it's building up to something.

    Great documentary. I was going to watch a movie last night, but this came up. ;)

    More than that, at the end of "Opposing Force". They split it into
    lots of itty bitty pieces, in fact.

    Exploding a nuke will do that. ;-)
