Pitchford on Blue Shift -- 5:05 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford updated his .plan with some information on their special extra single player episode (called "Blue Shift"--be careful how you say that!) for the Dreamcast version of Half-Life. Here's a snip:

I seem to be getting a lot of questions about Half-Life: Blue Shift and Half-Life for Sega Dreamcast. Here are correct answers to the most common questions...

+Blue Shift is intended to be exclusive to the Sega Dreamcast version of Half-Life. It's possible that it could eventually appear on other platforms (like the PC) should it be successful. Porting Blue Shift to other platforms cannot be considered until after the Dreamcast version ships. (And, yes, we've seen the petition)
. . .
+In Blue Shift, players take on the role of the security guard known as Barney.

+Blue Shift is a complete new episode that spans about 27 levels. This is about 1/3 the size of the original Half-Life.

There's more where that came from, so be sure to check it out.
