As an unrelated side-not, Black Mesa: Source, the free Half-Life 2 total conversion mod just came out. Now you don't need to bother downloading the game itself since the servers are flooded (I tried and it told me that ETA was about 24 hours) but I would like to recommend you give the soundtrack a download. I'm listening to it right now and it's awesome.

Oh yes, and just so y'all no, apparently you don't need Half-Life 2 to run the game now, all you need is Source SDK Base 2007 which is free.
