The trope is about tutorial levels. The image is not; it's some shoddily drawn guy in a monorail. That might demonstrate the title but it does not demonstrate the trope. Motion to pull.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Trope is not about tutorial levels, trope is about levels that only serve to show you scenery, optionally letting you control yourself in the interim so you can get a feel for the controls.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. That said, if we had a shot from the actual commute, either from Half-Life or its remake...

Weak, but accurate picture. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Also pulling for Keep Until Better Image Suggested. I do agree with Shadow Hog about having THE actual trope namer rather than the representation of it serving as the page image here. Perhaps someone with can play Half-Life and get a good snapshot (perhaps even through Steam)? I can if needs be...

Well, there's a TRS open, and it might get a rename. Does the Trope Namer illustrate the trope well? Otherwise just being the Trope Namer isn't cause to have it as an image.
