Cool indeed. Unfortunately, DVD sleeves seem to be a dying breed.
yes. the second sleeve is a kind of abuse of freeman, nothing must touch him :freeman:
I have seen them, and I like them… but maybe that’s because I made them! 
Glad you like em and thanks for sharing them around! lol
Yeah, I first made those back in 2008, (they’ve had some updates since then, obviously), but even back then physical media was slowly beginning to disappear. Some people still like to have physical copies though, myself included, so they are there for those who want them.
I hate to see it go that way- I am old enough to appreciate holding new Atari 2600 artwork in my hands. The BM artwork looks top shelf-great job. I am confident I am not alone in saying I would pay market price for a handheld copy if that could happen.
Shame on me. :zip::[
Of course there are doubts. It’s not a game and there are no single-player source mods on Steam.
Why Valve didn’t put Minerva on Steam is beyond me. They hired the author because of it’s quality - shouldn’t that be enough?
Let’s be real here, it pretty much IS a game. To be a mod it has to use the assets of another game, and it only barely does that. Id say there is easily enough original content here to consider this a new Source Game rather than a mod. I too was surprised that Minerva never made it to Steam though. Maybe the creator didn’t want it on there so he could keep getting visits to his site or something. Who knows…
[COLOR=‘Yellow’]Edit:
I just realized, that if Black Mesa continutes to get votes, that it’s actually going to slow down when it gets onto Steam. Why?.. Because Valve wants to know what the vote ceiling is. Being the top game, it sets the bar for the future. So until BM stops getting votes, they aren’t going to touch it. Last I checked it was raising at a rate of 4%… so it wont be going anywhere just yet. Better get those torrent clients ready fellas! :fffuuu:
To the mods:
The link to the reddit thread is useless because it can’t get to the frontpage anymore. Start a new thread in reddit and link to it.
I was looking at my graph this morning, and decided to try something out - comparing the curve from the ‘real’ 10-30% progress to the curve produced by the glitchy numbers that have occurred since. The result - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/68272416/greenlight-wierdness3.png (i just used an image editor to copy the first chunk of the graph and laid it underneath the 2nd and 3rd parts) the curve doesn’t line up exactly, but it’s damn close.
Not entirely sure what it means (if anything) but I’m pretty sure that none of the other games have curves this steep.
Well that’s setting their expectations too high, and if you think about it, BM was very much anticipated by alot of people. Everything else is not as anticipated as far as I know, because the other games were not “official” (aka something like Slender: Source). Half-Life is a legit VALVe series and has a major fanbase.
Is my math completely fucked?.. It appears that there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 million Steam users… and we only have perhaps 40,000 votes…
That is around 1/10 of 1 percent of Steam users, is it not?.. someone double-check my math… I am still learning that shit… 
I think many votes are wasted for that second glitched counter, which was cleared few times. I’m not sure but I think it starts at 0% every day 
Groundhog Day, anyone? 
This glitch appeared for the first time when the main counter was at 28-30%.
There is no way that accounts for any significant numbers… any way you cut it, BMS Greenlight votes are waaaay less than 1% of all Steam users… provided my math is sound.
nobody gives a fuck about greenlight. Valve failed marketing.
I think the majority of Steam users probably aren’t Valve fans. Makes sense since a lot of PC games now days are being released exclusively for Steam.
Personally, I feel it wasn’t greenlight that failed, more that, at least last time I looked at it, there really wasn’t anything worth voting for.
It sounded like a good idea when I first heard it but then it got dumb.
A $100 dollar entrance fee plus a huge amount of votes needed just for consideration, madness!. :’(
well, the $100 makes sense, so that you don’t have a bunch of gag entries cluttering up the system, and the you don’t need 100%, you just need to be fairly popular.
Dude, are you stoned?.. this early in the day?.. Yeah, almost no one loves VALVe… who made Half-Life, Portal, TF2, Steam, etc, etc… god, they suck ass.
It’s not Valve’s fault, it’s the people submitting shit games. Plus a lot of people don’t really use steam community either.
Greenlight is brand new. Valve is still testing the waters. I think it’s fair to give them some time to make improvements to the system before calling it a failure.
