[Half Life] Currently cheaper than a bag of skittles
Purchase it here for 98 cents. Hurry, offer ends this Friday at noon.
What is Half Life?
Well, in case you have been living some rustic old shack in the middle of the mountains without any contact to the outside world, Half Life is the first game developed by Valve. Back in the day, it was groundbreaking. It revolutionized the way a story was told in FPS's. It didn't have bad gameplay either. It follows the adventure of mute Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist, through Black Mesa when a teleportation experiment goes horribly awry. It is up to Freeman and his trusty crowbar to take down aliens, soldiers, and whatever else stands in his way to save the world.

At the moment, Half Life is currently available on Steam for 98 cents. Really, I could go to WaWa and by a little pack of gum for the same price. Normally the game is $10.00 but if you buy it before this Friday (21st) at noon then you can have this awesome game for about 10% of its normal cost. Really, there is no reason to not purchase this. It will run on any computer (well, Windows that is) and is generally a great game. If you don't buy this, you are a flaming retard.
A 98 cent copy of Half-Life: Source would be nice.
I prefer the original to the Source version. The old models having ragdolls is pretty much pointless, and the only thing that looks different is the water, which just manages to look out of place with all the other textures.
I want to know where OP buys his bags of Skittles. Them's must be some gourmet quality Skittles. Or one of those bigger bags. King Size bags?
Anyway, I've already owned had Half-Life 1 (twice, one hard copy when boxes where still the sizes of a phone book and the digital copy that got released with Half-Life 2) and I wonder if it's possible to gift it at this price.

Not much to add, other than digital distribution has apparently made me too lazy to even root through a drawer and find my old disc serials - never got around to activating them. This raises some worrying questions.
Still, it's at #5 on the Steam charts, so there's evidently plenty of like-minded lazy people. I mean, people can't use steam and not own a copy of HL1 in some form, right?
Ok, got rid of the sweet picture. Now your internets can load faster. I have finally gotten to download this. I will be playing it soon. I love when I can buy things for a dollar.

Okay, so I have a copy of Half-Life on a disc from forever ago. Is it possible to install it and add it to my Steam account, or do I have to rebuy it over Steam?
You can install it from the disc and have it tied to your Steam account.
Man, I would always get half way through Half Life and it's expansions and freak out. I played the shit out of everything else in my GOTY pack though. Who's up for some co-op?

A bag of skittles at my store is 97 cents with tax

The copy of Half-Life 1 I have is my original copy I got ten years ago. If you put in your old HL1 CD key, it should work fine, and if it's anything like my old one, give you Opposing Force and Blue Shift for free to boot.

I've played a few minutes of Half Life but never got far into it before getting distracted. I'll probably do the same thing again, but...98 cents? Bought'd.
If I didn't already have Half-Life (actually, my third copy), I'd be all over this. If you're not all over this and you don't have Half-Life, you're wrong.

My zombie survival life simulator They Don't Sleep is out now on Steam if you want to check it out.
I've played Half-Life in the past, but I never owned it before I got HL: Source together with HL2. Now I bought it despite already owning another version of it. Is there any HL1 mods that I should be playing?
Once l4d dies down a bit we should totally do a some hl1 mods to celebrate. There's so many brilliant ones that don't have an equivalent on source yet.
Also, for people with widescreen monitors, this page shows you how to do a quick and easy soft mod to get the most out of widescreen mode. (Basically you're changing the default field of view to something more optimal)

Not to say it's one of the best games ever.

Misread it. Now fixed. I never played this game (was but a young one when it came out) so this is perfect for me.

HL:1 was awesome, I already own it, but everyone around me has now been told about this awesome deal.
Of course :P

So close, OP, but you are a liar.
Everyone needs to own this so badly.

Can't wait for this
I see they gave the ninja chicks Chell's leg braces!
The first thing I did?
Download Natural Selection :P
Now let's see what I missed out on.
Wait... if you've never played Half Life the first thing you should have done was PLAY HALF-LIFE! PLAY IT NOW!
I had money in paypal so I just used that.
Ironically I played through HL2 and it's episodes, but I've never played the original.

BUT... but ... Natural Selection!
Good old Half Life 1 takes me back to the time of Nvidia TNTs and Alanis Morisette on the radio. Good times.
A bag of skittles at the store I go to is $4.73 AUD, which is roughly $2.90 of your monies. In Australia, his word is truth.
