Black Mesa Research Facility ARG?

Half-Life Series
#1

Anyone else see this?

blackmesaresearchfacility.com

I heard that when release was imminent, there would be build up. Here’s to hoping this is it.

#2

wat

#3

The lambda at the bottom of the page is hinting at a video:

Allow me the observation that you registered like 8 days after the reboot of the forums and your first post is about a BMRF website that is obviously related to Half-Life? You wouldn’t have anything to do with it?
Or I’m just being paranoid.

#4

i gave them my e-mail address via the employment form.
i hope they’ll send me a download link for black mesa :slight_smile:

EDIT: I recieved this:

Haha, wish I had something to do with this, but nope, a friend of mine found it and put it up on the steam forums and interlopers.net. I’m wondering what name you have to use to be referred… I’ve tried Gordon Freeman, and Olivia Wilkins, but no dice.

I like it. :slight_smile:

Dyson Poincaré doesn’t work aswell.

“Simulation data for spe” <- it’s cut off.

“Simulation data for specimen GG-3883” maybe?

#9

This is nifty, in the youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViLbPHX6LL8 there’s a lat and long (at 0:09) with the N and W scribbled out (for some reason) that points to the white sands missile range in New Mexico.

At least I’m assuming that’s why the area there is grayed in Google maps.

#10

^ Ah Good catch (33.193 -106.583 btw)! There’s a clock that starts at 7:00 then the minutehand goes a couple of minutes back while the hour hand goes backwards to 5:00? Afterwards you can see a Black Mesa JOOP :smiley:

#11

G-man!

Will apply to work in Black Mesa. :stuck_out_tongue:

#12

Try Isaac Kleiner

#13

what about one of the Dev’s names, If this is some sort of way to download BM like some of us think, then that might work.

#14

The morse code in the youtube video is disappointing. It only says: SOS Stop BMRf

#15

I’m sure this is unrelated to the blackmesa devs and even if it is it is most definitely not a way to download blackmesa. Just something some random people made as a joke.

#16

This site seems…shabby and poorly put together at places.

#17

I may have missed something, but this keeps bugging me. What lambda at the bottom of which page do you speak of? :brow:

[EDIT] nvm, found it.

Also, does this mean there are 4 parts of the “transmission”? Where are the other 3?

<!--transmission[B][COLOR='Red']1/4[/B]>*insert binary code here*</transmission[B][COLOR='red']1/4[/B]-->
#18

There’s definitely a chance it’s not related to Black Mesa - The Mod, and from what I’ve seen, it does not offer much to go on as an ARG (but I’m not really an expert on these games).
