Haha, do you think the teacher will fall for it? Bobbi Bobby///Bobby Brown Period 3 English January 17, 2009 (That’s a Saturday!) Book Report  Half-Life is a science fiction/horror/thriller story by the group Valve. The story follows Gordon Freeman, a physicist working at the Black Mesa test labs. On the fated day that the story begins, Gordon leaves his dorm to go to the applications lab. He goes on a long tram ride farther and farther down into the laboratory. After giving his greetings to his friends at the lab over some breakfast, he changes into his hazard suit. After he finishes, he proceeds downstairs. In the lab, they receive a precious type of gem called a “Xem Crystal”. After the sample arrives, Gordon places the sample under the L.A.S.E.R. Suddenly, a piece of machinery malfunctions. The power flickers, and Gordon has a horrible hallucination about space monsters. When he awakes, Gordon is on the far side of the lab. The machinery is broken, the glass protection shields shattered. As Gordon exits, he sees a couple of scientists laying dead on the ground. He sees aliens everywhere, and realizes at once that the hallucination was real! He comes to his senses, and ventures out. He pulls an old crowbar up off the table as means to protect himself. As he walks down the hallway, it is eerily quiet. As the lights flicker for maybe the second or third time, an alien jumps out of the ventilation shaft! This creature is called a “Headcrab Zombie”. It looks like a normal man, with the exception of a giant enemy crab on the host’s face. The zombie staggers, and lurches towards Freeman. He swings the crowbar a couple of times, smashing it with nerd rage, and it dies. Scared senseless, Gordon rushes out into a hallway. He meets another survivor, named Barney. He’s a security guard for Black Mesa. On the floor are a couple of dead aliens. Barney hands Gordon a gun, and they head out. The story talks about how Gordon and Barney fight aliens and crawl through the ventilation. When they are about a third of the way out, however, the roof collapses. As the roof fell, Gordon saw it coming, but Barney had not. Laying fatally wounded, as Gordon cried, Barney said with his dying words, “Take the ventilation shafts.” Gordon heads out, and sees a ventilation shaft. How convenient! He crawls through, armed only with a crowbar tucked in his belt and a hand pistol with nearly no ammunition. He sees several head crabs, and he got most of them. He realized with terror that he had ran out of ammo! As the last one tried to chew through his HEV suit helmet, Gordon whipped out his crowbar and killed it. Weak, and feeling dizzy, he slowly crawled out of the ventilation shaft at the next “exit”. He smashed out the grate with his crowbar, and walked to the cafeteria. Luckily, there were no aliens there, but there obviously had been one recently. He ate some food, and looked around. All of his friends were lying dead on the ground, some of them so horribly mauled that the couldn’t be recognized. Some poor security guards had died fighting as well. Gordon grabbed their guns and armed himself. As Gordon ran through the seemingly endless hallway, killing more head crabs and head crab zombies, he finally saw a sign saying “Approaching Surface”! The bad news was that the security turrets had gone crazy, shooting anything that moved. Gordon shot them out with his gun, but he was nearly critically wounded. Suddenly, he heard machine gun fire. He heard some yelling in the distance, “We’re saved!”. Screams. More gunfire. Then everything went silent again. As Gordon went to go check out the commotion, he saw that the scientists and aliens alike were all dead, and bullet holes everywhere. He looked up just in time and saw some Marines firing madly, and he jumped the hell outta the way. [sic] He thought that probably the Marines came to save everyone at first, but either went crazy, or started killing people to cover up the whole alien thing. He saw some old machines laying around and set up a tripwire attached to some crude explosives and heavy weights. Almost as soon as he finished, the marines dashed down the hallway, guns ablaze. As Gordon ducked for cover, he heard his bombs going off. He grabbed their machine guns and proceeded onwards. It turned out that the way that the marines came in were through a series of tunnels. He unlocked the gate and saw an old mine cart. He swore to himself and hopped on. As he went through the tunnels, there was lots of gunfire and suspense. I almost wet myself. Suddenly, the tracks ended at the edge of a cliff. The marines had blown up the bridge so that no one could get out! Gordon was still underground, and with the cart going so fast he couldn’t jump out or he would die. The cart flew through the air, Gordon screaming. Suddenly, the cart burst through the wall ahead. It had broke through to an underground river. Gordon swam, and finally reached the surface. Now, this is where everything went crazy. Some thunder hit the ground right in front of Gordon. A portal opened up to the world that Gordon had dreamed of. Gordon went in… and then Bobby lost the book on vacation. CONCLUSION He probably killed a whole bunch more aliens and stuff and probably died at the end saving the world or something. Still, you know what I mean? But, yeah, it rocked. THE END |

A++. =P Half Life is a pretty damn popular game, which is the problem... as long as the teacher doesn't know too much about it, you should be fine. =P |

Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone you're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining over your head Disappears, the noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow years | |

Lol, you wrote about the a game for a book report? Coolest thing ever done. Corse, hope your English teacher isn't like mine. He would get too interested and want to read the book himself. |

If you had my English teacher, your probably screwed. Huge gaming addict. Still subbed to WoW, and has a couple video game consoles, I believe. Yours on the otherhand, I have no idea, so it COULD work. |
