Celebration Thread

The wait’s over guys. Twelve days on the counter.
Let me just say that I discovered this site when I was twelve and have checked it every day since; my nineteenth birthday is in two weeks. This has been a seven year wait and it’s just about at its end.

SO LET’S FUCKING PARTY

I knew this day would come, but I never let myself get excited about it. I’ve been here since 2006 and I’ve visited very often. All I have to say, apart from a massive THANK YOU to the amazing team of developers, both former, and current, is that I CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!

I registered just to thank you guys for making this. I gave you guys one of your first interviewson The HeadCrab Union on GameSpot way back after Half-Life 2 released. It’s been so long since then, but I’m glad you stuck with it. I can’t wait to experience Black Mesa again! Thanks again for all your hard work!

Nice timing for the announcement. Your server is still going to get stomped though.

Thank you team! It’s coming, at long last. :smiley:
I cannot express my feelings right now… even with Xen not coming in the first release, I can’t wait.
Take your time to perfect Xen, we’ll be waiting (playing the rest). :stuck_out_tongue:

Cut On A Rail theme, if someone wants: https://www.joelnielsen.com/music/Joel%20Nielsen%20-%20BMS%20-%20On%20a%20Rail%20%28old%29.mp3

I’m not sure exactly how to sum up my excitement in a sentence.

Thank you and congratulations on getting this far, guys. That said, the in-game quote on the front page is missing a comma. It should be, “They’re waiting for you, Gordon…”, just sayin’. While that’s ostensibly douchey, it’s not my intention. I just like happen to like grammarz, and there are plenty of us grammar Nazis here.

Congratulations and thank you, thank you, thank you thank you.

Oh yeah! 6 years of wait finally coming to an end, feels good. I bet it feels even better for you guys. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Thanks guys, have been waiting for this for a long time. I’m gonna live Half Life again like I did with my father when I was a kid. Such a fun way to honor him.

I love you guys.

I’ve posted on these forums 3 times, 2 of which were helping with the creation of this picture while we were wondering about Cinematic Effects in BM. Anyone remember this?

Also WOOOOO PARTY!

I was casually loading the site when i noticed something was off about the site…Then i saw the timer…Then I screamed :smiley:

TWELVE MORE DAYS WOOOOOOO

Finally the mod that made me a modder is finally done!!

Speaking of celebrations, I just finished making this video. :smiley:

Lolz.

Just…just… well done BM dev team. My bowel loosening alcohol abuse this very eve will be in honour of you.

I’m very happy for you guys. After it’s finally out, hope you can get some rest! :wink:

FINALLY in my mind I see G-man coming at me and saying: “WE’VE BEEN RATHER BUSY IN YOUR ABSCENCE MR. FREEMAN” and then I hear Half life music and the counter appears

I’m so happy for the Dev Team. All that hard work has payed off!

I can’t wait to play it!

Congratulations!

They still have to work on Xen and BMDM
