What is Half Life?
Released on October 31, 1998, Half-Life is a first-person shooter for the PC. It is widely considered as one of the greatest shooters ever made due to its expansive world, story, and delivery of gameplay. The game includes no cut-scenes or dialogue text, helping you engross in the game as if you were really in it. Almost all shooters of today take something from Half-Life, Halo as a good example. Even 8 years after its release, people still play and create MODs for it, Counter-Strike being the most popular. It has had a long awaited sequel released in 2004.
The historical importance of the game in video gaming will remain as long as shooters exist. It was the first FPS to not have levels or stages and the first to not introduce you with a weapon at the start (you begin on a tram on your way to work-- an ordinary day gone wrong to say the least). Gamespy awarded Half-Life with the second best game ever made, and PC gamer declared it as the best PC game as of 1999.
"Half-Life is the closest thing to a revolutionary step the genre has ever taken. -Gamespot"
"Nothing half-assed about it--this has to be the finest shooter ever crafted. -IGN.com"
"Everything about Half-Life smacks of quality: the storyline, the gameplay, the graphics, the sound effects and last, but not least, the obvious level of committment Sierra and Valve have invested in it. Half-Life is, without doubt, the best PC game I have ever played. Ever. -Yahoo! Games"

Half Life - what is it?
The half life of a radioisotope is the time taken for the current level of radioactivity to drop to half that amount. Note that this means radioactive decay follows the curve of a decaying exponential. Oh, as mentioned, it is also somewhat of a revolutionary computer game. "As for the suit, I think you've earned it"
Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. Let's say its radioactivity 'level' at time = 0 is 2. After around 5,730, its radioactivity will be 1, After a further 5,370 years its radioactivity will be 0.5, and after yet another half life, the radioactivty would be 0.25, and so on.

Half-Life is a revolutionary game for computer; more need not be said.
An element's half life is the period of time it takes for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay. It is ibnot/b/i used to describe the dissapation of something not radioactive(subliminal hintcaffeine for instance /subliminal hint)
Random_Gaming_Publication: And our game of the year award goes to... Half-Life
The_rest_of_the_word: ... really? *yawn*
Random_Chem_1_teacher: The radioactive half-life of carbon60 is approximately 6000 years.
Half Life
1 : the time required for half of something to undergo a process: as a : the time required for half of the atoms of a radioactive substance to become disintegrated b : the time required for half the amount of a substance (as a drug or radioactive tracer) in or introduced into a living system or ecosystem to be eliminated or disintegrated by natural processes
2 : a period of usefulness or popularity preceding decline or obsolescence
For americium-241, it is known that half of the atoms decay in 458 years. Therefore, 458 years is the half-life of americium-241. Every radioactive element has a different half-life, ranging from fractions of a second to millions of years, depending on the specific isotope. For example, americium-243 has a half-life of 7,370 years.
