Duke Nukem makes sense. Half-Life does not. Half-Life stars a nerdy scientist who just wants to live, and the game is carried by its story.

I think the title is just alluding to the genre change provided by the mod and referencing how the game has a lot of explosions.

No video game newer than Pong makes any sense with the word Boomer in front.

Because the younger boomers who were in their 30s to 40s between the 90s and early 00s weren't allowed to play video games? It's not the game that's born in the boomer generation, it's the audience it's popular with.
