Half-Life 2 turns 20 this weekend, and we're celebrating with a big update: New developer commentary by the original team, Steam Workshop support integrated into the game, Episodes One and Two are bundled into the main menu, and tons more: half-life.com/en/halflife2/2…
My favourite part of the Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary update is that the game now has 69 achievements. Bravo.

I'm still yet to see a film crew.
The fire in #Silvertown followed a controlled explosion at a film set which spread out of control. Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the fire, which is now under control. Crews will remain on scene for the remainder of the evening.
Nothing like having your Saturday evening interrupted by some distant explosions going off on a nearby dock... Looks like a van, lorry, and maybe a car? I've definitely played this GTA mission before... #CanningTownExplosions

At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localised entirely within your kitchen?!
With plenty of clear skies in the forecast, there is a good chance of seeing the Aurora across the northern half of the UK, and perhaps further south with long exposure photography 📷 However, as the nights are shorter, the duration of any sightings may be limited ✨
