I enjoy learning about the lore behind the games I play. This is what lead me to Half-Life. I played Portal, and I got addicted (in a good way.) But I became curious about the "Black Mesa" that GlaDOS sung about in "Still Alive." I discovered a rich background to the universe in which these games take place. Learning more about Half-Life (mostly from this Wiki) gave me a craving to play the games. I started playing Half-Life 2, and I fell in love. I wanted to learn what started it all, before getting too far into the game, so I played Half-Life and it's Expansions. Despite their age, the games are quite enjoyable with a great story line. I've recently started playing Black Mesa: Source and while it isn't an official Valve game, it adds a lot to the richness of the story for me. I hope Valve will come to consider it part of the official lore of Half-Life.
