Human Error is an episodic series of mods taking place in the HL2 universe, as part of the greater “Half-Life 2: Short Stories” series. Episode One was released in February of 2010, and it is by far one of the best HL2 mods we’ve ever played. It represents a return to the days when Half-Life mods were refreshing, innovative, amazingly detailed and just all around excellent.

Tony Paloma, best known as ‘Drunken F00l’, has just confirmed over on Reddit.com and on the SourceOP.com forums that he has signed a job offer with Valve and will start working for them from mid-August onwards.
As a result of this, Paloma, best known for the SourceOP server plug-in and the infamous TF2 Idler program, will be transferring TF2Items.com over to a user named ‘Nephyrin’. Furthermore, he will also be releasing the SourceOP source code (i.e. making it open source to everyone) as a result of it being “unwise to continue privately working on and releasing plugins based off of [Valve's] intellectual property”.
Paloma has written a lengthy forum post on what exactly will be going down in the coming months, and is also hosting a ‘Ask Me Anything’ thread on Reddit.
Something else that should have been released last week. Excuse the delay.
Our normal scheduling should resume shortly, and will hopefully not become a trainwreck again.
Step back into the lovely year of 2000, with Half-Life Zone, a brand new site dedicated to modding on the original Half-Life.
After…
“1 year, 7 months, 9 days and some amount of hours”
(which will hopefully NOT be the total amount of time you spend waiting for us to post something)
Dystopia 1.30 has finally gone out the Steamworks gates.
