It's nearly Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary, and if that makes you feel old, you probably are. But good news, Nvidia is giving away a custom Half-Life 2 themed RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition to make you feel better about your own mortality and lack of Half-Life 3.
To celebrate the game's 20th anniversary in a couple of days on November 16 (it first launched on that day in 2004) Nvidia has added some rust to its second-most powerful RTX 40-series graphics card. That sounds rubbish, but [[link]] it's really rather lovely.
There's also a Gordo' Freeman over the nameplate and a lil' Half-Life 2 logo for good measure. As the centrepiece of a Half-Life themed rusty build, it could look pretty superb.
Nvidia has some skin in the game here, too. It's both celebrating Valve's crowning achievement and giving it a chance to talk about a game it's working closely with the developers on: Half-Life 2 RTX.
Orbifold Studios is remaking Half-Life 2 with all-new assets and lighting making full use of Nvidia's latest RTX graphics cards. It's a huge project, and the team of modders over at Orbifold have their work cut out for them. They're usually always looking out for more modders to lend a hand, though they're also using Nvidia's RTX Remix toolset to ease the burden.
I spoke to the team over at Orbifold Studios and Nvidia about RTX Remix and Half-Life 2 RTX earlier in the year. So, if you want to learn more about either, I recommend reading the linked article. You can also watch their latest video paying tribute to Half-Life 2.
You can also now wishlist Half-Life 2 RTX on the game's new Steam page, which [[link]] suggests the game is edging closer to an actual release. We've not heard a firm date for that yet, however.
If you just want a chance at getting your mitts on that graphics card, you can check out the rules and terms and conditions here.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The mobile interface is smooth and intuitive. I can play all my favorite slots on the go without experiencing any lag or glitches. The design is responsive and user-friendly, which makes gaming on my phone just as enjoyable as on my computer. The promotions and bonuses offered are very generous. I especially love the daily free spins and deposit bonuses. They make playing even more enjoyable and increase my chances of winning big. The platform keeps me engaged for hours every day.
