It's been 17 years since the Sven co-op mod for the original Half-Life was released. What were you doing with your life back then?

Just imagine if a minivan wearing a giant sombrero and shooting money out of its exhaust laid waste to their carefully swept plans, and shot that rock back across the ice.
