Update 25/12/2012(OR 12/25/2012)
Today Santa has come with an awesome present:
Black Mesa is the Moddb of the Year 2012[/SIZE]
On behalf of Black Mesa dev. team, I want to thank you for your support.
It has been an amazing year and more things are gonna come…
How is it ‘reductive’? It’s a mod, a modification of a game. It may be a content-complete modification of the original game, but it’s still a mod.
Maybe elivance thinks a mod is less of a game so calling Black Mesa “a mod” is “reductive” because it should be “a game”, but regardless, it is “a mod”.
And I have voted for Black Mesa. 
^this
Do not waste time in details, call it whatever you want and…Vote it!
What’s Black Mesa?
edit: I hate to break character but you should probably put this on the FB page
Yeah… I thought that one of the devs would do it but they seem too busy with development…
They could improve the PR 
Your sense of humour leave me speechless
You’d have to contact Catz about that.
Sent a PM to Catzeyes93.
Black Mesa needs to be MOTY, really, it’s a legend already
CatzEyes has added a post on Facebook about this topic
thanks for the heads up.
voted, after a few long minutes trying to remember my old moddb account password
mod? this is fucking top game
Haha, voted two days ago.
My thoughts exactly.
DayZ (<-- what a horrible name (from a marketing-perspective?!)) is certainly a great contender for this award, but its following @ModDB is only a fraction of that of Black Mesa.
If we all pitch in, this shouldn’t be too much of a challenge.
Anyway, I sincerely hope the Developers have been put under NDA by Valve in order to some how capitalize on their tremendous achievement. This is the only explanation I can come up with in regards to their virtual silence on the whole matter since the release…
Anyone, care to weigh in?
You guys do us proud. =D
From what I remember reading, since they’re going to get a steam release, they’ve signed a NDA meaning they can’t really tell us much (if anything).
As for voting, saw the facebook post. I’ll check out the competition and decide.
done
