Blue shift

An excuse to talk your way out of a ticket for running a red light. Unfortunately, your speeding ticket will be astronomical.

(If you don't get it, you're probably not going to get it.
Maybe look it up in a real dictionary first).

Officer: May I see your license and registration sir?
* you hand him the materials *
Officer: Do you realize that you were speeding and ran a red light?
You: Well, I'll admit to speeding but I'm not sure about the red light.
Officer: It sure looked red to me!
You: Not to me! Maybe I was going fast enough such that the blue shift rendered the... what I'm assuming was a red light... Blue! (or more conservatively, yellow).
Officer: I suppose it's all relative.
You: Exactly.

The bestest most awesome game of all time "Half Life: Blue Shift" was , is an expansion pack for the legendary fps game "Half Life" in which you play as a kickass security guard called "Barney Calhoun" and do cool as fuck security guard stuff and shoot people and aliens and protect scientists! It is widely believed that this is canon and the backstory as to how Barney Calhoun in Half Life 2 came to be despite blue shift being developed by gearbox. It is worth mentioning Blue Shift is unique in how you , the protagonist are the only protag from a half life game to not get gman all up in your shit , this is because Barney is a fucking badass.
