Today was one of those days where I detach my mind from the daily routine involving work, work and more work, and have the time to sit back and think about they great college years – years spent mainly in the following set of activities: cramming for exams until 4am, chatting with Diana Fernandez, and of course, playing every single Half-Life mod out there. The latter activity brings me many nostalgic moments, as I remember how at 1am on Friday nights, after a “long” day of school, I would go back to my apartment and decide on which new mod to play.

From the shitty “When the Army came to the Office” to the legendary “They Hunger” by Black Widow Games, I managed to play almost every single Half Life map pack, mod and total conversion out there but I could stay here for hours mentioning every single one of them.

If you haven’t played any Half-Life mods to date, you better check this playlist out – which shows you some of the best mods from the Half-Life era. Not all mods are mentioned, but I’ll come back and go over some of my favorites later on:
