Warning, a bug!
If you haven't played HL2:Ep2, Handle With Care will stay locked. Fix: type sv_unlockedchapters 15 into the console. Or, play to Chapter 2 of HL2:Ep2. (It's 'cause they sync configs. I've fixed it for Radiator 1-3.)

Buy me a beer, if you want.Vol. 1: "More Matter"
(Issue 1, June 2009) POLARIS: You're stargazing in central California on what could totally be both the lamest and the cheapest date ever.
(Issue 2, July 2009) HANDLE WITH CARE: You're struggling to repress stressful memories while your worthless husband moans and whines to that equally worthless marriage counselor.
QUEEN:
More matter with less art.
POLONIUS:
Madam, I swear I use no art at all
That he's mad, 'tis true, 'tis true 'tis pity,
And pity 'tis 'tis true—a foolish figure,
But farewell it, for I will use no art.
-- Hamlet, II.ii
This mod is about: The short story, play, and poem. First loves. California. Psychological repression. New Orleans. The racket that is couples counseling. Being young, being old. Gay marriage. Homeostasis. Government bureaucracy. Acoustic guitar, contemporary piano, and (maybe) death metal.
