Half-Life (video game)

01Roman officer Volusenus struck Commius in the head with a sword during a supposed parley; Commius escaped and swore never to set eyes on a Roman again.
02Commius later negotiated a formal peace with Mark Antony on the sole condition that he never be required to enter Roman presence.
03He eventually crossed to Britain, founded a dynasty among the Atrebates tribe, and minted coins bearing his own name — the only Gallic rebel to build a kingdom afterward.

01He renamed all twelve months after himself: Amazonius, Invictus, Felix, Pius, Lucius, Aelius, Aurelius, Commodus, Augustus, Herculeus, Romanus, Exsuperatorius.
02In the arena he killed ostriches with crescent-headed arrows, then waved the severed heads at senators.
03His lover Marcia, his chamberlain, and his wrestling partner Narcissus conspired together to poison then strangle him on 31 December 192.

Half-Life never cuts away — no cutscene interrupts, no loading screen breaks the eye — placing Gordon Freeman inside every moment of Black Mesa's collapse in 1998, a continuous unbroken world that made every prior shooter feel like a slide show.
