How would YOU release Black Mesa?

Sometimes, when I wake up at night to check whether they released BMS already, I have this nightmare after I fall asleep again:

Black Mesa has been free to download since 2009, but everyone knowing it keeps it a secret, and the only way you can find out about the super secret download link is by performing oral sex on a developer, or alternatively reading every single post in the BMS board.

But that is just a nightmare. Isn’t it? :expressionless:

You’re the one…with the…fail on it.

On a trans-dimensional quantum encrypted data pulse that is coded to download onto the hard drives of everyone who has never heard of black mesa and is still using dial up.

logic you think logic :slight_smile:

I would only release the mod in Gotham City.

Floppy disks, that need to be switched during installation.
Thousands of them.
And they’re not numbered.

Never!? :freeman:

Crazy:
I’d release part of it on LTO tape cartridges, part of it on SCSI hard drives, part of it on punched paper tape, and part of it on WORM discs.

Realistic:
Direct download w/ mirrors, BitTorrent. If Valve is willing, distribute it via Steam.

I would make the community distribute the mod via ONE 4GB flash drive.

And for the sake of being cruel, I second that idea, but instead of one 4GB flash drive, 4000 1 MB flash drives that have to be installed in order, but are mislabeled or not labeled at all.

I would get Santa Clause to distribute it by hand this summer.

Easy, I’d email it to everyone on this forum, but put the topic as “Want to have oral sex with local gay singles?” and put a ton of virus giving ad links in it, and have the release link on the very bottom in 1pt text, right below - that way, everyone will mark as spam :smiley:

More like pre-configured RAID of SSD’s with the game installed on it, RAID controller not provided.

XDD I will just release it in an document named as ‘Black mesa Source official V1.0’ and… here it comes :slight_smile: its just an old custom game (like pacman) that start with an awesome trailer for BMS and BAAAAM!!! 8BIT 2d black mesa source

HAHAHAHAAH nice isn’t it??

i would release the mod by first crashing the forums and then pretending that we have lost all of the mod again. and when everyone has lost hope :fffuuu: i would then promise a release for december 21st 2012 :freeman:

I would find a dead thread and post a link to the download.
EDIT: First post lol.

i woud hold a 30 min press confrence

On Steam, of course.

What else?

I would telemarket it during dinner time or right before most people go to bed.

Or I would disguise myself as a Jehova’s Witness and hide the download link in their literature. Sure fire way to get everyone to download it, right?

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.
