How would YOU release Black Mesa?

#41

Send out the data packets of the download by pony.

#42

That would actually be really fucking funny :slight_smile:

The day before it would be ready I’d post a phony video saying the release had been set back again… Then release it the next day.

#43

I’d upload the install file to some obscure file hosting site, provide the sole link through ModDB.com accompanied by screenshots of DOOM and a description of this “supr cwl mod” that looks like it was written by a dyslexic 4 year old who speaks English as their second language, where the page would then be removed as a duplicate.

#44

Release it on April fools day.

#45

Ya but that would be in at LEAST another year :’(

#46

At LEAST. Who KNOWS how many months there could be between today and next April. Could be five, could be fifty!

#47

Geo-cached inside a whale’s anus.

#48

:hmph:

#49

I’d send the mod in 10mb parts to forum members inside the anus’ of a whales. Then the forumites would have to make, I dunno, like a big jigsaw puzzle to make the mod come together.

#50

I would go in the “Houndeye poopholes” thread and post “You can check for yourself now.”

#51

Gather everyone who has been complaining about it on the youtube page, put the mod on a disk, then throw it in the air and watch them kill each other for it for my enjoyment.

#52

simultaneous release with duke nukem forever

#53

I would send it to Gabe Newell first.

#54

gabe newell is really fat

#55

I’d start a new forum account, post sporadically for two or three months, then start a thread asking people how they would release Black Mesa.

Then some time later I’d quietly add a download hyperlink to the word “hora” in my sig for subtle poignancy.

#56

I would put it on top of mt everest and let everyone here race to the top to get it.

#57

I’d release it in your local book store as a big book full of ones and zeros that you have to copy manually into your computer.

#58

…

#59

Awesome!! Installing now. :wink:

#60

I would only allow it to be downloaded 500 times, and include some pretty hefty copy protection on those 500 copies.
