So I Installed Half-Life "Abridged"...

Since I've been gone so long thought I'd be best if I came back with some Half-Life 2 shit posts. Ya know, play it safe.
Sorry if some of the audio in this sounds weird, had to redub a couple of lines cause I was intelligible due to my AWFUL mic positioning.

[@JollyWangcore]

So if you're looking for a bit more info on "Map Labs", Map Labs is an ongoing mapping competition held by HL2 community members. They give out a theme and mappers have a couple of weeks to make maps based around said theme. They are usually quite creative and generally super neat. MOST of the time they're not just shit posts but some of the collections lend themselves to people having fun and making things like you see above.
You should definitely consider checking some of them out if you're into Half-Life 2. Especially RunThinkShootLiveVille 2 with MMod cause that shit is fantastic.
