Some semi interesting info

Your images really do have that Half Life look to them.
Here’s some from Los Alamos that have a familiarity to them too.

Nice one CPU, some great pics there. Must have been a lot of research they did in that area.

Always worthwhile posting this image aswell:

Holy fuck, I feel bad about dissing the quality of some of those fan films.

How about this fan film if you guys haven’t seen already!

Great pictures and all, but there’s no saying where Valve got their inspiration from. The same could be said of any Cold War underground complex.

Actually, Los Alamos National Laboratory is still in operation. This is from their website:

People
11,782 total employees
Los Alamos National Security, LLC 9,665
SOC Los Alamos (Guard Force) 477
Contractors 524
Students 1,116

Place
Located 35 miles northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, on 36 square miles of DOE-owned property.

More than 2,000 individual facilities, including 47 technical areas with 8 million square feet under roof.

Operating costs FY 2010: about $2 billion
51% NNSA weapons programs
8% Nonproliferation programs
6% Safeguards and Security
11% Environmental Management
4% DOE Office of Science
5% Energy and other programs
15% Work for Others

Average Age: 45
67% male, 33% female
44% minorities
65% university degrees
25% hold undergraduate degrees
17% hold master’s degrees
23% have earned a Ph.D

Number of crowbar-wielding badasses: 1.

Actually there are two. Only one has a ponytail, however.

How does it work in the US?
Where I’m from you usually have to have completed a Masters degree before you can consider starting a PhD.
If this is also the case in the US then how can there be more PhD grads than Masters?

The 17% ranked as holding a master’s degree probably haven’t a phd, and the 25% holding an undergrad degree probably haven’t any degree of higher level as well.

Works the same way. The stats are simply showing that 23% of all of their employees hold a PhD and that 17% hold a Masters.

Awesome info, thanks!

Obviously some similarities, however Half Life isn’t the first game to put a lot of corridors in its level design and it won’t be the last, theres something about corridors and shooters.

Interesting stuff. I remember seeing that trailer a couple of years ago

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
