This is the Half-Life section of my webpage. As Half-Life is a fairly old game you can find all the strategy you want elsewhere on the net. So this page has interesting things from Half-Life, such as the opening train ride, both a transcript of and it as a wav file. There will be more and more as I play around with it more.
I extracted these as *.wav's from pak0.pak in the \Half-Life\Valve directory using a pak editor called "Qped". You can get this by searching for "qped211.exe" on google. I'm sorry I don't have it here, I don't have enough room to put it up, maybe I'll link to another page with it sometime or, if you want it bad enough to wait 24-36 hours for it you can e-mail me and I will send it to you it's 1.22Mb. Qped can be used on any game that has pak files (ie. a quake 1 or 2 engine game) which is almost every game in existence before Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament.

You can listen to the Half-Life intro in .wav format it is 4.99Mb. I was unable to successfully convert it into one of those horrid illeagle MP3's. If anyone is able to (and have it sound good) let me know. Alright, here's the file: (right click to download) Half-Life Intro .
