They are keep coming, but you cant stop taking them.
Recently you started to experience hallucinations, nightmares, which penetrate your deepest and darkest fears.
Finally, you are going to Markland hospital for help, however, firstly you stop in the bathroom, where another jar of pills is waiting for you, standing like a beacon at night in your depraved eyes.
When all of this will end..?
Poke646
It’s 13 months after the incidents at Black Mesa. The Black Mesa Research Facility has been shut down. The nation never got to know anything about the experiments there. The less you know, the less you worry. The government founded a new organisation to handle “alien related topics”. They hired the best scientists, technicians and military forces worldwide, its name is Poke646.
Some days ago the Poke646 scientists spotted alarming signals from the Xen homeworld. It looks as if the aliens plan to invade Nation City by opening a massive amount of portals. But the Poke646 Tech Labs are already prepared: some months ago the technicians developed a huge generator which is able to close hundreds of portals at once with a bundled energy beam. Four generators are about to be installed at the edges of Nation City. With all four activated they will form a giant beam and hopefully destroy the alien portal technology forever.
You play the role of Damien Reeves, the technical assistant of Dr. Fuller, and you don’t know all these details. All you’re currently worrying about is where the hell you lost your car keys when suddenly something hits your head and you slowly fade into unconciousness. When you wake up hours later, you quickly realize that some very strange things are going on…
Half-Life: Zombie Edition

PARANOIA

They Hunger
Darkness… My body hurts! Or is it my brain?
The explosion! I remember it now. Maybe I’m in a coma? Or even worst, I may be already dead…
Everything is so confusing… Zombies, monsters and ghosts from the past are filling my mind… Oh God, so many memories mixed with my dreams! I can’t even distinguish them anymore. What if my entire life was just a nightmare? But it felt so real…
Wait, what’s that sweet voice? Sounds like a nurse! THAT is part of reality, I am sure. Now if I could just concentrate on this voice and try to wake up…
Point of View

Humans will try to kill you, xen forces will ignore or attack you and you will have to survive to all this. Friends will now be your enemies and enemies your friends now that you play as a Alien Slave…
Crack Life
Crack-Life is a r e t a r d e d, unfunny, racist, offensive mod. It was made from total boredom. It features a bunch of overused jokes and memes that only get more annoying every time you hear them.
The Specialists
The Specialists is an action mod created by Filippo “Morfeo” De Luca and Lorenzo “John_Matrix” Pasini, built on by a strong willed community and the first multiplayer game ever featuring slowmotion.
The standards of the First Person Shooter still apply but are augmented by an intuitive stunt system, slow motion action, hand to hand combat and an array of melee weapons, customizable firearms, particle effects and the ability to play from a third-person camera.
Half-Life: Echoes
In this mod player takes control of a scientist, named “Subject # 12”, who has come to work in Black Mesa. That was the day that changed everything. Being an interesting object for G-Man, the inhabitants of Xen, and even for the crystal itself, he tries to survive.
Azure Sheep
Azure Sheep is a single player mod for Half-Life.
The player is one of the Barney guards that is on post in one of the entrances of the Black Mesa facility
When the chaos starts you realize that Kate, your college, code name ‘Azure Sheep’ is in the complex and in big dangers. You decide to rescue her…
Hazardous Course 2
The Hazardous-Course 2 is a spoof of the original “Hazard-Course” from Half-Life, which resembles the first player training levels. In contrary to this, the Hazardous-Course, as it’s name let’s suggest, is much more dangerous. Although it’s a mod for a first person shooter, the player can only wield a weapon at the designated target range. So it plays more like an adventure. The difficulty is quite challenging, but the rewards are accordingly. The Basic Training is peppered with hidden Secrets, which reveal tools, shortcuts, control rooms, and other features, to ease almost all challenges. There are two Secret Levels and one Bonus Level to discover, and to complete to access the final part of the Hazardous-Course. Help can be found on the page in form of a FAQ and a complete walkthrough. Unfortunately these are all in german. But to be translated soon. But be aware, that these helps may spoil some surprising Easter eggs, insider gags, and a lot of the actual game play of the HC2!
Half-Rats: Parasomnia
July, 1883. Half-Rats is, as he usually seems to be; down on his luck and fretting for the future. One fateful night, he carelessly decides to drown his sorrows with strong libations – and he runs up a tab at a pub he knows he can’t pay…Remarkably; Instead of a reproachful speech and coarse removal, he is instead told a tale he can hardly believe. A tale involving great riches, but even greater peril. If he was not so desperate, he wouldn’t conceive of embarking on what could be a wild goose chase to locate a forgotten and virtually unknown town. Half-Rats’ doubts were abated somewhat when the publican shews his utmost sincerity – albeit in a strange and effusive manner – and draws him a rude map.
“Thank the lord, for he smote that place from the Earth in ’81. We lived, but most met their destruction the night that liberating conflagration visited freedom upon us. We’re the last of ’em…There was a vault in the bank, large sums of money would have been stole away there, safe. We vowed never to go back, to keep that place a dread secret until tonight.”
The seemingly mythical town in question is referred to as “Eminence”. With no other hope to speak of, and fearing that this may be treachery after all; Half-Rats is still compelled to begin this peregrination to his “El Dorado” with weapons at the ready. But he’ll find much more than gold and banknotes before his journey is through. All is not what it seems, and he’ll find a living, livid hell to contend with…And the close of a dilemma he’d all but forgotten.
Half-Rats: A Fever Dream
July the fourteenth, 1883: Being rather rudely awakened after a night of drunken revelry; Half-Rats is thrust into a rather dire situation.

Absolute Redemption
It was written in the ancient scrolls of Xian that, during the last Crelat of Xen time, a portal would be opened between two universes and a being would cross the void and cause the second re-birth of Nihilanth, and all Xen would be drained of their lifeblood, their knowledge. And that, in this time, the Xen race would be oppressed by the armies from the far side of the portal.
It was also written that once the portal was opened, a human known as “Freeman” would cross the galactic transverse into Xen space, and set free the three sacred Telnorps, the guardians of the gate who had been captured from the ancient enemies of the Xen, the Zan from the Theldran galaxy.
And so it was that the prophecy came to pass, and the weakened Xen were powerless to resist an onslaught from the Zan. In the dawn of the first Ashaan of Xen time, the elders of the high council sanctioned an uneasy alliance with the perpetrators of the impending disaster, the Human race, in order to restore the sacred telnorps, and thus sealing the Zan gateway… forever.
The ambassador of the Alien Investigation Unit on earth was called upon to “redeem” the situation by employing the use of the very individual who had inadvertently caused the situation…

A horrendous and violent infection had began to spread all across the island attacking anything or anyone in it’s path with tremendous speed and savage force leaving few survivors in it’s wake.
The citizens of the island were slowly becoming infected by this infection with no way of curing it. They turned to their ally and pressured the mayor to inform Britain of what has happened. The British Military immediately took action by storming the island, isolating roads, buildings, and people to try and quarantine everything before things get even more out of hand. Within a week the island was officially labelled as being Quarantined nothing is to get in or off of the island. The elimination squad hired to quarantine the island went under the code name Dead Sector.
The British Press began to search the island for clues to findout what happened and how all of this had come about. It had become quickly realized that this was no ordinary island and that many of the citizens of the town had mentioned that seeing military personnel on the island was very common. This island was being used for the development of Biological Weapons and the military were using people as there lab rats. The British Military began to pressure there Parliament to ban anyone from going to the island entirely, even blow it up if if it must be done.
