Trivia

The name of the main character, Barney Calhoun, is a tongue-in-cheek reference to what most fans of Half-Life starting calling the various security guards around the Black Mesa complex in both Half-Life and Opposing Force.

(Fans called the security guards "Barneys" because they were usually slow, dim-witted, and not very helpful, which is very much like the deputy sheriff "Barney" on the old show "The Andy Griffith Show".)
