Black Mesa’s Soundtrack Might Just Be Very Close To Release, Believe It Or Not

April 13th, 2012 · By Vic · 25 Comments

Black Mesa (or Black Mesa Source, if you prefer) has been stuck in development hell for a really, really long while. But for a free Source mod that aims to recreate one of the greatest games ever made with modern technology and modern sensibilities – time is the only commodity they have. All we know is that the mod will finally be released exactly two weeks after its soundtrack is released. So, of course, we’re all very interested in finding out when and where we can find the soundtrack online, as composed by Joel Nielsen.

But it seems the Black Mesa soundtrack’s launch might almost be upon us. What makes us think so? Read on to find out…

After Nearly 3 Years Of Total Silence, Black Mesa Source Is Showing Signs Of Life

April 7th, 2012 · By Vic · 10 Comments

After missing their 2009 deadline, the Black Mesa devteam “submerged”, so to speak. Their Twitter died, their YouTube pretty much died, and while they did do an interview with Steamcast back in the summer of 2011, what little interaction they had with the community remained within the confines of their forums and their Wiki. But it seems like they’ve finally decided to wake their community manager up from hypersleep (maybe missing a big release date was too much for him), because the old PR machine’s rolling again!

A Call For Communication’s “Mosaic for Valve”

March 13th, 2012 · By Vic · 18 Comments

The Call For Communication movement’s “A Red Letter Day” event was a pretty significant success. Getting over 13,000 fans playing Half-Life 2 almost 8 years after its release in the hope that Valve will notice is no easy task. But now they’re moving on to bigger things – with a pretty big, ingenious and impressive event that Valve will notice. Because it’s something we’re going to hand over to them, as a part of Half-Life history.

CS: Global Offensive To Receive Post-Launch Zombie Mod DLC, As Official Game Mode?

March 12th, 2012 · By Vic · 23 Comments

GunGame being included in CS:GO as Arsenal Mode is pretty cool and all… but we all know there’s one CS server mod that is much more popular and, possibly, more enjoyable. Just like GunGame, it’s made its way to all sorts of third-party games across all sorts of platforms, but its home will always be right here. Perhaps even more so, in the future!

New Unbelievable 19-Minute HL: Opposing Force Speedrun Sets World Record

March 11th, 2012 · By Vic · 15 Comments

I tend to think of myself as an average to high-skill player. I’m not the best, but I’m pretty good at most games I play, and I’m pretty damn terrific at some of them. I won’t name any of them, because some of them have leaderboards, and when it comes to my high scores, I don’t even trust my own grandmother. But when I see shit like this, then I start feeling inadequate. It’s like the locker room all over again.

Who won the Oscars this year? I don’t remember, but what I do know is: if these guys would have just waited a week or two for us to finish our second entry in the Evolution of Counter-Strike series, we’d have probably won it. Hands down. We just released it, though. I’m waiting on my Oscar, AMPAS - send it over to 250 52nd Street.

“Mari0″ Released – Bringing Portal And Super Mario Together Into One Game… Including Hats And Level Editors

March 4th, 2012 · By Vic · 1 Comment

Exterminating Koopa Troopers isn’t a very challenging activity for Mario – but imagine how much easier it would be if he had some more advanced technology at his disposal. And I’m not talking mushrooms and fire flowers, I’m talking portal devices and grav guns. However, until we set Mario up with a Tau cannon or a Displacer, he’ll have to make do wi- What’s that? Someone gave Mario a portal gun? They made a video game about it?
