Fence Post Productions‘ fan film that pokes fun at the endless wait for the next Half-Life game, as an aging Gordon Freeman is left alone with nothing to do. VALVE, can we just have this game already? You know you’d sell a squillion copies.

RocketJump’s Freddie Wong returns to his action and weapon- umbrella-filled roots with this short action romp, inspired by the Matthew Vaughn’s new spy flick Kingsman. Sure, it’s a shameless plug for the film, but it’s still a blast.
