Halflife on the iPod Nano?

This guy is running iPod Linux and Half-Life on his Nano. Just imagine how difficult playing on that tiny screen must be...

It's not really Half-Life. It's iPod Quake running a map that looks like Half-Life. You can tell by the muzzle flashes, the screen disolve at the beginning, and the health/ammo panel at the bottom of the hud.

Remember, holding it close to you is the same as watching a much larger screen. Sit 8 feet from your 50" plasma and hold your fingers up like you are touching the top on bottom, your fingers won't be far apart.

it's not quake, it's the doom engine running a .wad file of the first level in half life, recreated in doom. You can tell because of the sprite based nature of all of the scientists and barney, you only see them from one side. also, the lower bar, and the blood effect in the beginning which was changed to straight black. not half life at all. also, simply because the doom engine has been knowingly ported to ipod linux, and the half life engine certainly hasn't.

while awesome in theory, the functionality of an ipod for a game like that is terrible. There are plenty of games that would work well with limited control, but action games, not so much. Get a damn psp.

Looks like Doom, but spiced up a bit to look like half-life... still sweet nonetheless.

Can you also listen to music while playing or is it just game music?

Muzzle flashes + hud = Doom Plus anyone whos played Half Life knows you don't have a gun at that point in the game v.v People have done this on the 1st generation iPods. Nothing new.

hes recording the video with the video record function on his camera. I also believe the timing is too good of him pushing burrons to be faking the ipod playing a video. Can ipod nanos play videos?
