(
http://www.moddb.com/mods/research-and-development) This is fucking BRILLIANT. I didn't think it was actually possible to have this much fun with HL2 anymore. Briefly, it's a puzzly single player mod in which you are never armed with more than the grav gun or an antlion, and often with nothing at all, instead relying on a highly entertaining and inventive series of environmental puzzles to progress (bar a couple of incredibly frantic chuck-the-bomb setpieces). I know, grav-gun only sounds like the most boring chunk of crap since the last Dandy Warhols album, but somehow, incredibly, this guy has made it lots of fun again.
You need ep2 to play it.

Let's add that, in addition to it being really fun, it is beautifully mapped and incredibly polished even though it mostly uses HL2 stock textures. Visuals and feel are of valve quality.
Also has good humour, very few bugs. Alas, very short.

How does it fit into the HL universe?

You play a researcher at a remote resistance R&D facility which has been discovered and assaulted by the combine.

Mr. Whirly is the most fun I've had with a vehicle in any source engine game.
Also, pictures of the A-Team in the garage? <3

You're a gigantic arse. Stop trying, you made it.

Koki is a small annoying fly compared to Lost_soul when it comes to the Anti-Steam BS.

Last 2 albums really. They used to do some good music.
And downloaded this mod a few days ago. Good to hear that its a good play.
