Half-Life comic

This blog is getting nerdier and nerdier by the minute, but that's ok I guess since I'm a nerd at heart, but I have to share this with you, because it's just hilariously funny (if you're a nerd).

Half-Life 2 is an amazing FPS (if you don't know what that acronym means, you probably won't find it funny), made by Valve. It takes place in the dystopian City 17, which is controlled by the evil corp The Combine, in it you control the scientist/elite commando soldier Gordon Freeman.
Now you probably already know that, but what I'm getting to is that this guy, Christopher C. Livingston has created a spoof comic of the game, in which the antagonist is Gordon Frohman, a dum-witted, fun-loving guy who likes to say "dawg" a lot. The game investigates all those game conventions that we learned never to question, like not being able to get through a locked door when you've got a rocket launcher and a gatling gun, not being able to scale a 2 feet fence, why there are so many explosive barrels near rickety buildings etc. It does this in an extremely funny way.
Heres a little teaser, that examines the unlogical mechanics of a medkit(click for large):
