Why?

Well, it’s not disintegrate, it’s “decay” I guess that’s why that game was called Half-Life: Decay.

Basically it’s what’s been said about a dozen times now.
Half-Life is a Physics/Chemistry Term
You’re a physicist, molecules exist, and Lambda was involved in the game
Blue Shift had 2 meanings
Opposing Force had 2 meaning
Decay was fitting
and
Half-Life 2 is technically a Quarter-Life, but no one seems to pay attention to that (I guess because the Episodes make fractioning a Quarter into 3rds annoying)

Finally:
Has any one noticed in Portal that if you cover the ER in the Aperature Laboratories logo, it looks like Capture?

Its called half-life becuase gordan pretty much lives half a life, after gman takes him away he is locked in storage and can not live a life.

i know it has been said but i am just trying to get the message through: the experiment they were running at the beginning was to discover the half life of the crystal. that is one part of the reason it is called half life. and it sounds cool.

after looking the first alpha video I was thinking they were going to call it quake-life!

Diarrhea is funnier than everything.

nevermind

Slunket, please cry, I want to see you cry.

I cry because of my abnormally veiny penis…
