^ lol it’s amazing how people who can’t read can still sometimes accedentally sign up on forums.

If there was some sort of random high-school level math question required to sign up, with only one chance to answer before being permanently banned from registering, the amount of users posting on these forums would be divided by 10.

I dunno… even a second grader can google a math question.
This is the internet, after all.

We’ve gotta be getting close now, man… the wiki pictures have started to say “final version” in their captions.

What? Where?

[CTID]

The wiki would be my first place to look.

Here’s the most memorable “final version”, but there are others, I think. (Garg, maybe?)

I must be blind, I don’t see any images labeled “final version” on that page.

“Final model”, but it doesn’t matter since it was added by The Assassin47 and last time I checked, he was not on the dev team.

:awesome:

[Skaevola]

Really? Damnit! I should have checked my sources.
Allow me to facepalm myself… it’ll be less embarrassing if I do it.

:facepalm:

i’m curious as to what the topic is exactly, too.
what is black mesa 2009? it is an impossibility.
that year is over, and black mesa wasn’t released that year.
i know what black mesa is and i know what 2009 is.
but the concept of the two tagged on to each other doesn’t compute.

Which is why you read the first post.

I honestly hope you’re not really that stupid.

Hello Black Mesa fans!

We come to you once again with an update. It’s now the end of 2009, and we know many of you have literally counted the days down until this fateful month. We are floored by the level of support you have given us and are very excited we’re so close to reaching our goal.

Unfortunately, to our great disappointment, Black Mesa will not make a 2009 release.

Cynics may now rejoice, bets may be collected, and I think a mod team member has to eat his shoe, but we hope our loyal fans will forgive us and realize that the delay will translate into a better final product that’s (hopefully) more easily available to everyone.

Once again we apologize for what has to be very disappointing news. We placed a 2009 deadline on ourselves to motivate us and bring this 6 year project to a close. And while we didn’t quite make it, we have come very close, and you can expect a complete, polished game to hit your hard drives in the near future. We’ll be sure and update if anything changes. Until then, hang tight, it’s coming!

Has anyone noticed this? Could it be that they’re working with Valve to get BMS on STEAM after all?

Was it not supposed to be so they could work on performance issues?

That’s certainly the impression I got from this post, and some of Ram’s posts (for example).

Of course I could be wrong - and part of me hopes you are right

[Lord_Grievous]

Well I’m sure that’s part of it too, but the phrase “To make more easily available to everyone” doesn’t have anything to do with performance issues. It seems more about the way it’s going to be delivered.

[mattemuse]

I’ll buy that.

make more easily available to everyone
