Summary

"Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine." Some twenty years after defeating the Nihilanth on Xen, Dr. Gordon Freeman is brought out of stasis by the mysterious G-Man to defend humanity (and the Vortigaunt) against the alien forces who have enslaved the Earth in Half-Life 2. Leon, Josh and Karl combine to couple with Valve's multiple Game of the Year 2004 award winner with all the tenacity of a still-beaked Headcrab. Naturally we also enjoy contributions from the forum and Twitter including your Three Word Reviews. This Issue of Cane and Rinse is dedicated to Isabella and Lux Atkins: 2 Whole-Lives. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_fifty_six.mp3 Music used in this issue: 1: Requiem for Ravenholm by Kelly Bailey 2: Path of Borealis by Kelly Bailey Cane and Rinse 56 was edited by Darren Gargette Do you have an opinion about this particular game or maybe about our podcast in general?
