Half Life: The end of Barney
Hello, as you might know I am a big fan of the Half-Life series, and I have been Waitingfor Half-Life 3 for a while now. The story I am about to tell you happened about 6 years ago. One day, I was at a yard sale and found a box filled with blank discs, but one of them stood out from the rest. The disc said HALFLIFE BLUE SHIFT all in caps, I picked up the disc and observed it, the disc looked like it had never been used at all. I got the disc for $2, and I said to myself "Wow, I found Half-Life: Blue Shift for $2! Awesome!!". But I found out later it was a huge mistake. Then I went home and inserted the disc into my PC, But nothing happened. Then I tried running it on my old Windows XP laptop, and the installer came up and I installed the game. Then I ran the game and I was incredibly happy that it worked.

Then the game loaded and it started with the normal tram ride, at first nothing seemed wrong, until the tram ride was over. The textures were glitched up and "YOU WILL DIE" was written with blood on the walls. When I entered the building the layout was normal, but the textures were still glitched up, I thought at first this was a poorly made mod, but when I got to the second chapter, the map was completely different. The map looked like the apartments from Half-Life 2, but with no enemies or citizens. The map seemed pretty empty, then I went to the outdoor section of the map, and the chapter ended there. But then I also noticed I did not have any weapons, this was bad because of the next chapter. The next map was also not in the original Blue Shift, it was a zombie infested basement. I had no weapons so I couldn't attack them. I just ran up the stairs to the top floor. I had then noticed the glitched textures again, and there was another piece of graffiti on the walls saying "YOU ARE GOING TO DIE RIGHT F***ING NOW!!!!" and then the floor collapsed and I fell into a pit of spikes and I could see my corpse fall into the spikes. The corpse was Barney with no eyes and his guts ripped out. Then a jump scare popped up on screen when I tried reloading the map, I had to force-quit the game to get out of it.

After I played the game, I was going to throw away the disc, but I instead broke it in half and tossed it in the trash. I was really scared at that point and I told myself to never buy blank discs again, even if they have something good written on them.
