Made a new 9gag post. It panders more towards the “I already know about Black Mesa” crowd. [no screenshots]

[Edit:] I got ahead of myself on this one with the “Black Mesa is close to release” line. The post is removed.

What else would come from someone who goes to 9gag

#64

Inb4 major disappointment.

#65

They’d better not let down 20k people

#66

Or, paraphrasing John Bishop (British comedian) on push up bras: “There’s sum’in there, there’s sum’in there, there’s not’n there!”

Hahaha. For some, the mod is now dead to them, because the devs are begging for likes on the FB site.

#71

10,000 likes!!!
Now 10,000 more…

#72

@DiePoente : Are you the one who teaches those stupid assholes? Good job.

#73

WE JUST REACHED 10,000 LIKES GENTLEMEN!

#74

Thanks, I just gave them some comprehensible reasons, why the devs actually do this. They take this FB thing way too serious.

#75

If you have a justin.tv or twitch account, spam every channel you can find!

This seriously works. I post my own youtube videos and increase 20+ views everytime I post a link, and that’s just one channel. People will click links if they see em in the chat box, out of curiosity.

#76

To be honest, I understand people’s reaction.
It is not a good move to suddenly ask for 20k likes after years of silence.

#77

To be fair, the devs did communicate a lot more the last weeks/months than they did in 2010 and 2011.

#78

10262 likes,half way there boys and girls :slight_smile:

#79

If you just devote a couple of minutes through the forums you will see that there has always been activity from the devs. It is there, it all depends on if you actually care or not.

yeah this wasnt the best idea to revive the interest in the mod…still i hope the media will convince everyone. These people are into black mesa, but this ask came too suddenly…

and even i don’t come here often, so i knew nothing about the new content and media they posted in the last weeks/months.

but whatever, dont stop the likes!

also let me quote spitfire from steamforums:

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.
