Black Mesa 2009 Update

Everyone needs a hug. Catz is safe with us guarding her!

RAAAGGGEEE

I’m wondering if this is ever going to be released. :expressionless:

:facepalm:
Really? Do we have to go though this again?

Lets just all back up to page 30 or so, and pretend we do all that ugly stuff all over again rather than rehash it.

Me? Well, I am gonna stick around in the aftermath here and just offer newcomers a great big bear hug!

((((((((((((((((((hugs to all those that are still lurking but waiting patiently))))))))))))))))

I for one think that as long as there are semi-regular updates and I can watch some new things blow up once in a while this shows that there is forward progress and I’m not going to complain about it. Would have loved to see it released, but will only get better with further development and polish. To everyone who is pissed, save your $0.00 and download some other free mod then…no worries.

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. You can however kill all of the people with enough ammunition…in which case who really cares if they’re pleased or not. :wink:

You know, for someone who seems the most affected by my antics, you of all people have yet to message me like the others :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve never heard anyone say that… Not a bad philosophy for life mind you. :slight_smile:

Is it possible to block IP’s for every user who asks if this mod is ever coming out? Then you could just say “Not for you” to each of them.

Prepare for unforseen messa… wait.

ok wow. Never has there been a post that encompasses all that I feel at the moment. applesause for you good sir!

Oh to do that for a certain group of grumblers at a forum that I go to once in a while. Ungrateful bas-turds. :unwarrented chuckle:

Good play good sir!

Psst. HL takes place in 200X. This year is the last year that counts as 200X before it’s 20YX.
Tommorow (or today, forum time) on the 15, say goodbye to either the space-time continuim, or any chance of HL coming true.
Catz: I hope you have a burgalar alarm, or a large dog. If it gets too bad, you and your family can move in with Rabid, right?
…Right?

So apparently you weren’t aware of the Cascade Resonance at CERN ?

Anyhoo… first post on here and in all fairness probably my last, though I will keep looking in great anticipation for BMS to be completed.

Firstly, for those belly-aching about how long this mod is taking to be completed, go out and get some sun or do some christmas shopping, watch porn or whatever!

Secondly, quit yer moaning, because this has been done faster than Valve are doing HL2 Ep3 who are taking more time than a Sumo wrestler trying to reach the summit of Mt. Everest whilst stopping for a coffee and a danish on the way.

The developers aren’t getting paid to do this and no doubt some of them firstly have families to support therefore needing to hold down day jobs. Show some appreciation for these guys and let them get on with it. If anything, discourage them from wasting time on media releases (although appreciated) and let them get on with putting the final polish on the game and iron out as many bugs as they can so they don’t have to release an endless amount of updates like we’ve seen with other Valve games over the years.

Anyway, that’s my 2 pence, cents, yen (wherever you are in the world).

I would only have one question regarding this mod, however, and it is that I was having a butchers at the Level Design section in Media and I saw nothing on Xen. Now I’m presuming that is because you have not done any media for it (which is fine), but I also presume that it will be in the release. Could you confirm this with a simple yay or nay ?

Cheers 8)

There’s no media for Xen because the devs don’t want to spoil it. That way it will be a surprise for when you play it yourself.

well… I suppose I could muster up the gumption to at least invite him for drinks or sumthin. but alas I fear the rejection. So instead I sit in aw of his ‘dam.jpg’ picture and pine over the awesomeness of his scillz. :retard:


oooh purty!

Anyway, um, isnt that one of those “concept art for xen” pics? i dunno.

No, it was a material test map that was made for BM a long time ago. It’s not actually a portrayal of Xen in BM.

Looks groovy.

Let’s hope the finished product is similar in its bizzaritude to that very nice image. I want Xen to be a twisted, trembling glob of noxious horror, stinging the senses with its unutterable wrongness until you fall on the ground, foaming blood from your nostrils and laughing as you rip out your eyes, insane from the realization that such things could be.

interesting images. must… start… analyzing…

god I hate english class. :frowning:
