OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG only 5% more till Black Mesa Source is downloaded.
Honestly, I dunno how nobody else seems to be interested in this game. Its a remake of the original Half-Life with much more improved graphics, AI, Textures, and milking the Source Engine for all its worth. Its............ its almost unrecognizable, and UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME.
And to think that its free........
Yep, this will keep me plenty'o busy for the next 4 days 2 hours and 45 minutes that remain for MoP to finally go live.
You're probably the most enthusiastic gamer
I (semi-)know; it's really good to see
:D
And proud of it too ^^
And after playing Black Mesa Source for over 5 hours (And still have another 70% of the game left to complete) I can say without a doubt that PC gaming is truly the best there is.
This is a 100% fan-made FREE game, that manages to outclass most AAA games that multi-billion dollar corporations shell out at their overpriced tags.
BMS is gorgeous, fun, challenging, and has everything that made the original Half-Life such an award-winning game in the first place. If anything, the only complaints I got is that the animation for the crowbar is really lame, and the voice of the HECU Marines was more cool in the original game. Other than these 2 nuances, BMS is pure solid gold, and anyone who likes shooters even a little bit HAS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE to miss it.
ITS
FREE!

Doesn't Black Mese require you to have SDK source 2007 or something?

My golfer had a heart attack today. I'm pretty sure he died in the ambulance next to me. My dog died last weekend, and I was thinking a lot about death, and then my client died right in front of me. I'm not hysterical over it. I mean, it is bothersome, in the way that death can bother you. It just makes you think.
I bought this set of golf clubs from a second hand store a couple of weeks ago. As I picked them out, I saw the use put on each one of them, and how old they were. I reliazed that these clubs were loved by someone, immensely. I also realized that, like most of the stuff in that store, they were owned by someone who probably died and left those golf clubs to someone who didn't want them, and they were donated to the goodwill. As I held the clubs, I thought about how trivial stuff is. It's just stuff. We work so hard for it, and then it ends up in a stuffy second hand store with other junk no one cares about. After my golfer died, I took his clubs back to the main lodge to wait for his wife to pick up, if she ever does. I wonder if those golf clubs will end up in a second hand store. I wonder if the stuff I think I care about will end up in a junk store after I die.
This morning, before I came to work, I posted to my facebook:No matter how much you lose, always be sure to be grateful for what you have.You'll be dead, too, soon enough. Be sure to appreciate whatever you can while you can.
Great post, brother. This is why I intend to eventually discard all but the most useful of possessions (tent, camera, warm clothes, toothbrush) and wander the planet, living on a shoestring while observing how others lead their lives.

magic the gathering... made up little adventures for the characters to go on
This. I did learn to play the game, but I totally did this too.
Did you usually make the black and red mana creatures the bad guys? And the white and blue and green mana creatures were the good guys?
I'm afraid I can't remember, it was far to long ago. But I think there's a high possibility I did.
However, I DO remember using the Pumpking the King of Ghosts and Castle of Dark Illusions as the main villain and his fortress when I did it with Yugioh cards. Most of the other zombie-types were villains too, I believe.

it does, but SDK Source 2007 is also free. Download it from Steam, then download the game, install both, and that's it.

Okay, I know I said I was going to stop complaining...
But my dorm just had three unplanned (or at least they neglected to tell us about them) power outages over the course of just barely five minutes.
Seriously; what the hell?
EDIT: Roommate just told me that it happened in another building too, so it was potentially three campus-wide blackouts in the course of 5 mintes.
Again; what the hell?

Well, when you get the chance, give it a try, I swear its THE best remake I've ever seen. Professional gaming companies should take a look at BMS to know how to properly remake a classic, while keeping the spirit of the original.
Its not flawless though, as I mentioned before, the voice of the Marines was way cooler on the original, the animation for the crowbar is terrible, and my god, crouch-jumping is used EVERYWHERE. In fact, jumping is pretty much useless. If you don't crouch-jump, you can't cross any obstacle at all. Also the game is currently incomplete, the Xen Chapters are still in development, though that's ok, Xen is only like 10% of the game, and IMO its the worst part of the game too, so I aint gonna miss it much.
I must give them massive props for the AI used on the marines though. Throughly impressed.
If you thought they were dangerous on the first game, wait till you see them here. My god how they've evolved.
They will use flanking maneuvers, flush you out of cover with grenades, provide cover fire for each other, they will NOT rush at you but rather patiently wait for YOU to come to them so they can gun you down, they fire in full auto this time, not short bursts, each squad has a medic that will heal injuried soldiers, they will take cover before reloading, if they hear you reloading THAT'S when they zerg-rush you, every squad has a commanding officer, and as long as this officer is alive they will fight with more zeal, their reaction times are split-second fast, and their accuracy is a killer.
I find it amusing how in the original game, whenever there were sections where aliens fought the marines, they always lost. This time? they wipe the floors with the aliens without even sweating.
Seriously, as far as squad AI goes, these guys make the Korean soldiers from Crysis look like amateurs.

Quite a few of you who frequent this thread reported a thread in the Feedback forum that was written in Russian.
Two forums here allow non-English posts; feedback and guild recruitment.
Keep that in mind for the future please :)
