My brother came up with this idea after watching an episode of Lost. He searched the net to see if there are other appearances but had no luck. So we figured it'd make a good thread here. If you've seen Half-Life or any other Valve game on TV, share it with the SnarkPit community.
So here's my input:

Lost, Season 1, Episode 21, 12 minutes into the episode. Appearance of Half-Life Single Player.

A few weeks ago my friend told me he saw a part of HL in lost, just like you heh. He showed me it on youtube and it's funny how someone says "Use the crowbar, they only work on zombies" while that is not true :D

I don't think I've seen other appearances. Although some time ago I saw it in a random commercial where they show how the games have improved in the last few years.

I've seen the lambda symbol in tv shows! That must've meant there was a supply crate nearby :D

Yea, about Half-Life appearing in Lost; turns out Gabe Newell was a big fan of Lost, and decided before EP2 shipped, to include a Lost-related easter-egg in the game.

So I take it that's the only appearance of a Half-Life in television thus far?
