Still need to play the first Half-lives(lifes?). I'll probably just play 2 though, no idea what these games are about :P
Hopefully they heavily upgrade the source engine and this'll be an early next gen title!

After my mind had finished exploding at the black-aperture.com homepage, I decided to download the image and have it as my phone's background. What I found out then started my mind exploding all over again.

I was able to find something rather interesting within the black-aperture.com's homepage image. When editing it to place as my phone's background image, I found the Aperture logo was hidden within the Black Mesa/Half Life 3 logo. The hidden logo can be seen if you look carefully at the home back, or check out the picture below to see it more clearly. With the logo and the name "Black-Apeture" Are we seeing some kind of merger of the two games? Half Life 2: Episode 2 mentioned Aperture Science's lost ship the Borealis, with Black Mesa being mentioned in both Portal games. Looks like the two companies' stories are set to get even more entwined.

For fucks sake, they should finally start this already. Fans are begging for this for years now (including me).
