Wicked.
For those who know me, you will probably think I either got some friends at Valve to put me in Half-Life or that I found a way to swap out one of their character heads with on I made myself, but in fact, that is just a stock character from Half-Life 2: Episode 2, who happens to bear a chillingly uncanny resemblance to me. It looks more like me by coincidence than the golfer I created spending a couple hours with Tiger Woods Game Face, to say nothing of how generic my Mii is given my total lack of distinct features....
So the story goes, one of the designers on my project was playing HL2E2 during lunch the other day and came across this medic as one of the incidental members of the resistance fighting against the Combine and said "Holy shit it's Clint", and I got him to snap this screenshot - which I will henceforth use as my picture anytime anyone wants one.
Immortalized in Half-Life 2... accidentally... sweet.

Hah! What an honour! Even if purely by accident.

Good to know that game designers CAN in fact survive an alien holocaust.

Hey Chief,
Just got an email from legal. They're demanding you stop wearing those red cross arm-bands, on grounds of possible copyright infringement...
