Because, there is nothing like making us desperate fuckers choke on any percieved hints on possible release, get the Devs laughing. Either that or it is a lead-up to Black Mesas release… Hmmm, which opinion I should go for? I say the former.
Yes, but what’s more fun than having your hopes smashed down into nothingness?
Maybe its both? we may also be looking to far into it… Its true they did say there would be build up. But look at us, dont you think there is a build up in tension? I may be paranoid, but i think this is exactly what they want us to think, that this is nothing and we are being dumb and that they think its hilarious. but maybe they are starting to worry because we are taking this like it is the actual release. We haven’t heard anything from devs, and i looked at trevor brennans website and i dont think its legit. I mean i looks like he found google pictures and zoomed in on certain areas. I think its fake. But anyway, why would they say that there going to transfer data or whatever on the 25th of this month? maybe data is the game. Idk, like i said, im probably paranoid, but these are things to take into consideration.
Looks like the domain was first registered in 2004, then allowed to expire in 2005, before being re-registered last year: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://blackmesaresearchfacility.com
Conspiracy theory alert!

I haven’t read the whole thread yet, but it’s the same runway we have coordinates for.
From this chunk of code from the main page…
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-17274543-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
…it appears as though they are tracking their pageviews through Google Analytics, the account being “UA-17274543-1”.
Dunno if anything at all can be figured out from that, such as who’s google account that is tied to or whatever, but I figured Id throw it out there anyway, lol
This is incredibly cool. I don’t have the experience with this stuff to help with anything but watching you guys trying to figure whatever it is out is pretty fun.
I thought he said something like “(Our?)(something) occurs on the 25th of this month.”
And I’m going out on a limb here… But that transmission is the same length as the transmission Dr. Mossman sends from the arctic in Episode One. Both are interrupted by the Combine around the same time, too.
Think you can give me the link to the audio file?
I can try and use something to make the audio a bit more cleaner, and filtered, try and pick up on what its saying(:?
Since the last digit is a “1”, it’s the first (perhaps only) site set up on that account number, so I don’t think much can be learned from it.
Is… is it on? Ohh, listen, you’ve got to stop the incident or it’s not gonna end well for anyone. Our records show it occurs on the 25th of this month, we can’t do much from here, but we are attempting to send you the test result data. Although we can, but God knows if this message will…
Yup.
I think the quote that appears from the lambda on the “shut-down” BMrf site is Uriah the vortigaunt from white forest in half-life: episode two.
Thanks!
Now I have to go to sleep, it’s 4:44 here. :tired:
EDIT: someone should download all these media in case it gets deleted (videos on YouTube and Vimeo, web-pages and photo album)
Like Khaos said we could we could just be paranoid but this ^ seems to give me an odd feeling, and the lack of dev input other than this could very well mean something. And Keresh was asking us how this relates to the mod and we failed to give a (imo) good reason for this thread to stay here and yet he hasn’t moved it somewhere else. But then again i could just be overthinking it all.
Sorry if someone already answered this, but im fairly sure that the guy in the pic is George Orwell.
EDIT: shit
Whatever the truth is, my guess is the devs are happy we’ve got something to focus on other than houndeye anuses and bitching about updates.
For my two cents, there’s no way this is part of the release of a free mod.
I’m probably just getting paranoid, but I’m picturing the whole dev team right now laughing their arses off. If this is legit they must be saying “ohhh, look at them, they are all getting worked up, exited, it’s like Cloverfield all over again”. If this isn’t related with the mod they must be like “Hey, no one from the dev team post in there and tell them the truth, just let them keep on creating conspiracy theories and shit, its getting better and better.” :zip:
Either way, they must be enjoying it, at least I know I would 
.
Did I mention that the aliens helped the mayans build the egyptian pyramids?
I tried to upload the binary files into the BMFR link after logging in. i did it the full thing in binary, 1 packet at a time in binary, i tried the text translation and i also tried the MD5 hash of the message. all of which i received a data error. I’m gonna call it quits for today. Keep it up guys we’re getting close, i can taste it haha
