I live in Riyadh and it is real.
It used to be a LAN gaming center, but the owner changed this business to just a coffee shop :)

I can just imagine, drinking your coffee, maybe eating a bagel, reading the paper, and you see this weird guy in a blue suit staring at you...you look up and he's gone :O

Creepy. Then you hear a high-pitched humming and a strange blue light and one of the baristas vanishes...

@Argyle: Yes, there is. Sadly no one is taking notice. Valve can sue if they want. Might get something out of it after 20 years. :P

What better way to start your day than a nice cup of coffee in a place that has a name associated with radioactivity.

@Rickster: Except its the Half Life coffee shop, not the Black Mesa coffee shop.

I think if you wanted to compete, you'd need to make the Halo coffee shop.
