Half-Life 3’s story wouldn’t be ‘easy,’ ex Valve Writer Chet Faliszek says: “Any sequel is a disaster nightmare that I never want to do”

When you think about Half-Life 3, and I’m still guilty of it from time to time, the biggest question is where the story would go. You might have come up with all manner of theories; I’ve certainly seen plenty of weird ones over the years. Perhaps you believe the path forward is extremely obvious. But…

Emilia Clarke ‘cheated death’ on Game of Thrones as she dealt with brain aneurysms

It would be the understatement of the century to say that Game of Thrones launched several careers when it premiered on April 11, 2011. An adaptation of George R.R.
