Combine Nation is series of humorous machinima animated shorts by Lit Fuse Films based on the settings of the wonderful Half-Life 2 action game.
Although these web-episodes deal with the same subject matter than the Civil Protection series, mainly the misfortunes of clueless fascist thugs, they feature a higher production value, with a more cinematic and action-packed editing. However, the rapid-fire pacing of the stories as well as the absurd humor can be bewildering sometimes.
These episodes are available on YouTube (see below) or as high-quality (HD) downloads from the official website.

Sadly, the creators of Combine Nation have canceled the series due to a hard drive failure and lack of interest in doing a series. This lost scene is all that remains of this promising project.
Do not despair!
