One more push of the More Neat Gems in Arcade Archives vid from last week - I'd like to think it's a good vid, and one I hope stokes more curiosity for a rad and important project :)
Much 🖤 if you're already checked it out!

NEW VIDEO: I’m a big fan of Arcade Archives as one of those #retrogaming projects which celebrates a bunch of Arcade gaming’s past.
So it’s time for another dive into the catalogue for more of them I Just Think Are Neat!

A time-travelling door bug in Half Life 2 | Discussion

Attached: 1 image
Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.
