Half-Life

Half-Life is a series of first-person shooter games developed and published by Valve Corporation.

Connection to Weezer

In 2004, a book called Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar was released. The book was a behind the scenes look at the production of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, as well as the production of other Valve titles. An uncorrected proof exists of the book, which contains a large amount of extra information that was to be cut from the final release. In this uncorrected proof, an image can be found of two Half-Life themed guitars. The subtitle reads:

The Half-Life guitar, constructed for the band Weezer

The two guitars appear to be a kind of Gibson SG, which both Rivers Cuomo and Brian Bell are noted to have used. They are both painted to similarly match the design and aesthetics of the first Half-Life game, featuring a stylized Lambda logo, a common symbol associated with the Half-Life series. It is currently unknown if the band is in possession of these guitars, or if they even exist. It is theorized that the guitars are only digital mockup designs that never made it into production.
