A thought about progress updates

Thank you Catz for the update.

I’m normally not the gloating guy but oh man, this is a big FU to the first posters (the “regulars”) in this thread nagging about what my suggestion in the starting post. I bet you NEVER thought a guy with merely 30 posts with such a “stupid” suggestion would get an answer to a question like that huh? Well, someone in the dev team must’ve thought it made sense, or there wouldn’t have been an answer to it.
Proved you regulars wrong bigtime! Hah! :smiley:

i ate the spaghettios. i just woke up. where is mah black mesa? :smiley:

just kidding take your time, and make it the best game ever :slight_smile: :freeman:

So what’s going on here ?

People upset by the forum : check

People upset by “lack” of news : check

People asking to close forum : check

New versus old posters war : check

Speculation about possible release date : check

@ Catz : Where did you dig out this info (I’m just curious, I know you’re a legitimate source we can rely on :wink: ) ?

HAHA OH WOW

Release date moved again.

As if anyone had announced a new release date after last year… :facepalm:

I bet Catz meant to say that the mod will not be released this year. We are still in December, that means that the 2 months are actually December and January, therefore we should expect something in February.
IIRC, there was a thread where some dude said there’s gonna be an announcement near the end of 2010/beginning of 2011.

Tank you for the news ^_^.

That’s how rumors and urban legends are born :retard:

In response to this: https://n4g.com/news/670170/black-mesa-release-date-moved-again/com
This is a perfect example of why the developers try to keep these things internal. Dickcheeses the internet over say shit like that website, and people interpret it to mean that it’s been delayed. What the hell? It’s like the people that keep saying that Episode 3 has been delayed. No, it hasn’t, assholes. Valve just hasn’t given us a release date, and this is why.

Anyways, that’s the end of my rant. I just hate it when people are stupid about these things. Which is a lot of the time. :smiley:

so u have seen what catz wrote and then decided that she must have meant something completely different based on nothing other than ur own stupid speculation…

Stupid idiots! This makes me really mad, it makes perfect sense for the developers to say nothing about the mod after the media generating “news” like this.

:freeman:

When time management is failed, good games and mods often come out first because their dedication of their work is well-spent and of course they often make updates.

For some people who probably will bet a Dec 21, 2012 release for this mod, I am betting for it, because this will be the last game I will play before the world will come to an end. I don’t think the waiting is good after all.

Gloating and FU’s will only make your treatment here worse bigtime! Hah! :smiley:

Little late here… On the subject of this forum’s usefulness, I like lurking here to entertain myself from these useless overreactions by the fanboys. It gets me wondering why they even bother with the newbies anymore…

It blows my mind that an adult would give a fuck about what some kid on the forum says, or some blog that nobody reads writes 2 sentences about someone marginally involved with the mod claiming it won’t be out in 2 months. Are the black mesa developers really that emotionally fragile and overly sensitive that it sends them into deep bouts of depression and anxiety whenever someone makes a guess about the release dates or comments on the content that they have made public? I doubt it. And yet I see kids on the forum constantly claiming that some nobody writing something negative on a blog is the penultimate justification for anything and everything the black mesa developers decide to withhold from their fans. I understand that in the mind of a hormonally challenged teenager, this makes perfect sense, but this mod is allegedly being created by adults, or at least marginally mature students, in light of which this meme about “oh yeah dongwang93 wrote that BM is vaporware on his blog, thats why we can’t see any more screenshots” is fucking beyond ridiculous.

So, what you’re saying is that it’s all dongwang93’s fault? Where is he? Lemme at him!

wait… that site said we moved the date again? What date? how do people extract that a date was set and then moved by me saying it isnt coming out within the next two months? I really dont understand the community sometimes.

Catz: It’s just as you said… :stuck_out_tongue:
