Clever.

i dont get it :(

i never played half life, so what does lambda have to do with it?

do you even know what the lambda stands for in the world of chemistry ?

And Gordon's standard weapon is a crowbar.

Not to mention the HL logo:

wavelength, no?

Exactly.

Its a pretty clever reference to the gamma radiation given off when a radioactive substance decomposes, the rate of which is known as its half-life!

Haha sorry if that sounds reduciulously nerdy, but im writing my thesis atm!

oh, haha. thanks for answering my question without being condescending :)

Lambda can also be electrical charge density of a wire. :p

(I have an HL shirt with the lamdba on it and wanted to give non standard answers to people who ask me what it means.)

Nice lol

But I never really used the crowbar in Half-Life 2 though...

Is the crowbar more important in Half-Life 1?

Cool pic I actually saw this pic earlier this year surprised that some of you guys haven't seen it O.o
