How would YOU release Black Mesa?

Don’t know how it’s done in the Imperium, but here the links on the top of the page is the first thing being seen.

Although, discreetly adding that button on April 1st, an it being real, would be fun to observe.

Wat?

Well, sure, but what I meant by “discreet” was attaching the DOWNLOAD button without fanfare.

If it actually went down like that, I think I’d probably stare at it in disbelief for about 10 minutes.

Although I haven’t been on the forums long, I’ve had this place bookmarked for about 2 years. I wasn’t among the hordes of disappointed people when it wasn’t released in 2009, because I forgot about it, and found it in my bookmarks again recently.

Funny story; I was all “oh boy oh boy it HAS to be released by NOW!” Haha.

Kinda random, but yeah. :expressionless:

I would change the front page:

And see how long it takes for people to notice. No download button, just the “it’s done” button

You do not get it. The point is putting the installers on the servers of a charity, so people have to visit their page to download it.
Statistically 3 % of visitors will donate.

100% sure that is 0% feasible

You are probably right.
Everybody knows gamers never donate shit.
And everybody knows charities don’t have apache servers capable of dealing with that kind of traffic and files that huge…

What was I thinking…

I’d have to agree. that would probably be the best way to do it… that way, only people like myself who actually scroll over the entire home page every time the connect to the site would see it at first and be able to enjoy slightly less congested downloads.

I would release by editing a previous post, changing a single letter in an existing link to that of a youtube video containing a base 64 encoded rar as a series of QR codes.

wat

I would have fireworks and explosions like 4th of July and at the end it will say that it is done

Put it into USB, bury it in somewhere in Mexico. Then release the map about where it is in internet.

K, see you in Mexico next week.

You know what is funny?
no one can actually get it and you call it a release!
Thats Funny^^

You can’t call this a release, when no one get it/see it in the www.

And my opinion to that mod:
Release BMS when Half-Life 6 is out.
I know 100%, in a few Years are everyone intrested in.

Another Idea:
Delete it^^

Hahahahahaha, you are so goddamn funny, I can’t even breathe anymore, cause Im laughing so hard, oh god, pls help me! Hahahaha.

:expressionless:

And why HL6?

Guys, I’ve got a new and innovative as well as humorous way to release Black Mesa!

Release it… now! :retard:

Hidden link in Raminator’s Ladies Club

I would have a peice of paper in the middle of the desert say “Black Mesa is Done” so that someone stranded in the desert will read this with their last breaths and end with a smile on their face

I would release it on the internet.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
