Trivia
- The name is derived from when Bob (the developer), was playing Black Mesa and noticed the difficulty was unusually high, especially when other people did not note the same difficulty. He performed an integrity check on the game and discovered it was actually slightly corrupted and the game was bugged as a result. The corruption was in a single file and only had a size difference of 528 bytes from the normal one.
