Marc Laidlaw Epistle3 (August 25th, 2017)

Open pr Last commit Hype-Meter

This was originally a fork of Jackathan/MarcLaidlaw-Epistle3, but I think there have been made enough changes that this stands out as it's own repository. Thanks to @Jackathan! I'm trying to maintain the whole thing and merge the original pull requests and stuff here. If the blog post or the tweets get deleted somehow, you can still read all the content here or at https://github.com/Jackathan/MarcLaidlaw-Epistle3 if this repo is too bloated for your taste.

So far this repository includes many of the original pull request, many additional translations, some minor improvements and the Epistolary Afterthoughts by Marc Laidlaw.

A bunch of awesome people also including @Jackathan set up a mod called Half-Life 2: Aftermath where all the leaked items and maps are packaged up and ready to play: https://www.moddb.com/mods/hl2aftermath
