As far as I remember, I found Black Mesa years ago, when I first hit “Play” on HL1

#232

I’m pretty sure there’s no “Play” button in HL1.

You guys have some boring BM testimonies! Mine was a book! C’mon, really get out your feelings! When the mod gets really popular (even moreso then now) people will see your post in this thread and know that you’re better than them!

#233

Found MINERVA first, then came across BM while looking for more… :slight_smile:

#234

I was reading the HL2.net forums one day in 2004 when I stumbled across two seperate teams wishing to remake HL1 using the Source engine. A forum was made, the two teams merged, and I have been hanging around ever since (give or take a couple of leaves of absence).

#235

An image of it appeared in my tortilla chips.

And then early 2008 I bought the orange box, played HL2, started grinding up and snorting mods, and then finally got to this one and bookmarked it.

#236

I can’t remember. It might have been here or here, maybe even here! Of course, It could have been because of this guy, or maybe I just learned of it through HL fan osmosis.

#237

Found it while searching for mods on Youtube, I came across the main trailer.

Been waiting ever since.

#238

Whichever media release it was when the untextured spas12 was shown. I was looking for references in google images and that came up.

#239

I’ve been lurking since 05, posting since 06. Someone told me about it while I was playing TFC.

#240

I found it on Moddb while looking for HL2 mods back in late 05 (or 06?) I think. I’ve been following since then but only just decided to join the forums.

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.
