Latest Blog: Half-Life2: On the American West Coast?

Half-Life2 not where it's said to be?
(meant to be a joke, it's not important enough to really be complaining.)
As we all fondly remember our hours playing HL2, we see no evidence of it being located in a remotely US city because the architecture, and never contested that it was outside Eastern Europe because VALVe says so, right? I think we all might be wrong, as most (West Coast) US residents know there is a decently dangerous gang known as SUR 13, or to those who are a bit behind, they also go by the Mexican Mafia, La eMe (which means "The M" in Spanish, chosen because "M" is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet) and is considered the oldest and most dangerous prison gang in America. (The 13 comes from it having only thirteen members when it started in the late 50's in Tracy, California by incarcerated Chicano gang members.)
After force feeding you all this information, you must think I've gone completely mad and obsessed with Latin American gangs, right? Not exactly. As seen in my screenshot below, there is a faded SUR 1(too faded to count as a 3, looks similar to a 7 also). Which I find extremely curious, since the SUR 13 is solely in California, New Mexico, Arizona, and finally Texas, not Eastern Europe. This leaves me asking, why.
- Why is the Mexican Mafia in Eastern Europe?
- Why, if it's a factual error, did VALVe choose the SUR 13, they live in freakin' Washington state!?!?!
- And finally, Why am I ranting over a stupid tag?
Disbelieve my findings, refer to the picture below.
Mhm, what now fool! A gang tag from West Coast United States in in Ravenholm!
Please, don't complain about how stupid this finding is, I discovered a way to topple VALVe's tyrannical hold over the gaming community with a factual error! (Just kidding, I love VALVe, they started with a modified Quake engine and turned it into the most influential game basically ever.)

what do H&D?
I just now read your comment on the HBM profile, and I want to just say thank you I really appreciate comments like that. As for the future of the mod this summer just maybe there will be another release ;)
NP. :)
We haven't worked on it for a while but are hoping to make a working blitz starting today so we can get the introduction level done for the presentation. Pretty much the only thing left at this point is simply to make all of the content, but we'll have to see if we ever finish it.
I really want to finish it though, it would be a super awesome experience making all those models, textures, choreographed scenes, maps, scripting and so on.
The mod will kinda be a mix of machinima and games, so it's basically HL2 with a custom story and lots of choreography. It won't be a dark mod or anything like that, we're hoping to throw in a few jokes.
I hope that answers your question, if you have any more then feel free to ask. :)
Yeah I'd say it's more than alright for your level of experience! You should keep it up because it looks like you've got some talent!
Hey, would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction of this modcast.
[SARCASM]Saying "take that mortewood" makes them sound very professional.[/SARCASM]
Also, what other mod has achievements? (Without steam works)
