How would YOU release Black Mesa?

In all seriousness, torrent or steam.

I think it’s guaranteed to be on Steam. I mean, how could it not be?
I can’t wait to see that little Black Mesa tile in my games library.

Put it in a flash drive and put that flash drive in a bottle. Then throw the bottle into Pacific.

Then your names will be written in history.

All mods can be in steam, with the little icon. It doesn’t mean the game will have a special store page like synergy.

Yeah, but I was just thinking that it really does deserve not only it’s own page, but a huge splash image on the main store page.
It really does deserve that exposure.

If it was me, I would hand it to Valve to be a stand-alone game and replace that stupid HL-Source. Sure, then it would cost $10, but I would demand that they keep it bug-free, upgrade it to new features in whatever Source version is current (2012?), allow it to be modded, and keep the credits of the people who made it. And if possible, if I was a developer, I would take a small commission fee of that $10.

Covertly launch a satellite out of the solar system with a copy on board and a big transmitter. Once it gets near Pluto, it would turn around and transmit the game over and over as if it was an extraterrestrial signal.

…'d like to see the looks on SETI’s guys faces…

A download link that says; “The doctor is in.”

julian assange and wikileaks.

^ Maybe Wikileaks will release the contents of the developers forum where Ram and co have been talking behind our backs for six years XP

Put a “the” in there and you’ve got an incredible band name.

I would attach flash drives with the mod on to carrier pigeons and send them to the people.

BETA

Yeah, no.

Nice Try though.

Floppy disk! :slight_smile:

I would put 5 golden tickets in orange box games. Guess what. They are xbox 360 version! Those 12 year old brats wont share it! MWAHAHAHA.

I would send out an ultimateum to CNN saying that for every hour they dont talk about the mod on national television, it gets delayed for 2 weeks. If they talk about it non stop for 2 weeks, it will be released after the delay.

The developers have actually been doing this since 2005, when the mod was finished

BUT SERIOUSLY I would release it a day after I said I would so that people can organise parties and to play it in groups etc

I have a question relating to that. If I invite a bunch of friends over to see it, and we all love it lots and spend the entire night enjoying black mesa, does that make it a group masturbation session?

No, it’s just regular masturbation among an array of stuffed animals facing a computer monitor.

Oh snap

does anyone know any good brands of burn cream?

I suspect you already have bottle of this laying around somewhere.

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.
