How would YOU release Black Mesa?

I would let Opera give it away on her TV show to the audience… “You get BlackMesa: Source, you get BlackMesa: Source, you get BlackMesa: Source, you know what? Everybody gets BlackMesa: Source!”

(Or Let Ellen do it :smiley: https://ellen.warnerbros.com/)

#142

Fail.

But other than that, it’s a good idea.

#143

That’s the point, knowing Opera/Ellen Audience, most likely none of them play video games, so they are probably just going to give it to their nonexistent kids :stuck_out_tongue:

#144

Actually, the point was that she is not called Opera.

#145

Don’t take that crap Yoshilast. Opera Winfrey is a genius, and would do a good job. So would Elan.

#146

i would add a link directly in the middle of the BM homepage that says “click here for unforseen consequences!”

#147

I would tell everyone that Black Mesa is officially dead. So that every online-site is talking about it. And then, when every has talked about that Black Mesa is dead, release it, so that everyone is fooled :smiley:

#148

dressed like a clown on my birthday party. :slight_smile:

#149

I would release so incognito that no one would ever know it was released… OH wait… HAHA… they already did that…

#150

I would give everyone who had a membership prior to the release a special edition with bonuses such as uhhhh free t-shirt?

#151

On April 1st of last year, (or next if you reallly wanna), announce that the project has come to a halt, but at the same time, change the “MEDIA” link to a download link for the completed mod. Or change any link to a download link. Just randomly. Maybe even a random splotch of the website would be a link.

#152

Place the download link in a random forum members sig disguised as a link that was previously in their sig.

#153

Change the extension of the file to .jpg and put it as an image in someone sig.

#154

Espescially if it was you.

'Cause you’d like it.

#155

I would fake my own death hours before the official release, then check the forums and see how angry everyone is

#156

Don’t worry, it have been taken care of.

#157

No one would care TBH

#158

Now that is true… I was thinking more along the lines of us not knowing that he was going to release it.

#159

ASAP :expressionless:

#160

I would put a stack of boxes in Xen and wait for a resonance cascade.
