Want to play some HL1 with your favourite BMS Dev? Okay, how about me instead?

Hi everyone,

I quite feel like playing this game called Half-Life. I don’t know if you know about it or not, but I heard from quite a reliable source that it’s an okay game. I’m not convinced, myself.

As a result, a few of us here will be playing tonight, at 9PM GMT (aka UTC), on my server, which I will aptly name “Top Secret Public Official Unofficial Black Mesa Half-Life Server”. “Why that specific time?” you ask? Because we just really seem to enjoy playing certain Half-Life related video games at that time. Probably best to not go into it too much.

The server will be free to join, limited to 24 players (not for lack of server space – but we don’t want total chaos!), and will be running a rotation of HL1’s stock maps (with the exact map dependant on the player count at the time). It will run, and we will be playing, until we feel like stopping! If you feel like playing, stop on by, join up, and play some Half-Life with us! I’ll try my best to be active and facilitate a nice gaming experience for all involved, and have a chat with you guys too.

Just be prepared to get killed, shit talked, killed again, shit talked some more, and then killed once more. In the nicest way possible, that is. But seriously, we’re gonna have some fun.

“Why do this?” you ask. The answer is, because I like video games. You should too. Let’s play some video games! I also think we have a pretty cool community, and I’d like to play some vidya with you guys.

Disclaimer: This is all entirely off my own back, because I want to play some HL1 with our community. It shouldn’t be taken as a precedent, nor does it reflect anything the team is doing. I’m not sure precisely how many devs will be involved – but I certainly will be.

I so love these moments when I have only my trashy notebook, 150 miles away from home---- damn.

I’m sorry but HL1 is shit and this whole event feels like a money grabbing travesty and a conspiracy.

I have class at 9PM GMT/4PM EST. :frowning:
But maybe afterwards I’ll join up if the match is still going.

God damn, 9PM GMT is not applicable for me (If only it was a little bit earlier), I hope the ones who are going to play will have lots of fun.

Can you provide an IP address or is it too soon?

I’m sorry the time doesn’t seem to be too convenient for everyone. This was a bit of an impulse thing on my part, but hopefully we’ll still get to play with some of you guys!

I’d be surprised if even a trashy notebook couldn’t run HL1! Even most phones nowadays are substantially more powerful than HL1’s recommended requirements.

No idea how long we’ll run for - but maybe!

I’m not sure why you’d want an IP address if it’s a money grab/conspiracy, and I can’t provide the IP right now anyway. There isn’t much I can say to convince you otherwise, other than this was just an impulsive thing on my part, and that I actually came from the community myself. Sorry if you think something else. It’s not true though.

I agree that maybe doing this today just a few hours before it starts was not a genius idea but I’m in, bro, let’s play! Even if it’s just us two.

Hmm, chalk this up as an impromptu test.

We’ll have a good turnout, I can promise you that. it definitely won’t be just us 2. Hence the improptu aspect.

Oh, that’s cool then. Can’t wait to shoot some fuckers.

So I’m gonna assume there’s no other stuff today.

Whut dafuq is dis HL1. Izzat some sort o gaem? It probly suxxors and is wurst geam evr. 0/10.

I’m assuming this is the Goldsrc version. I’d by happy to pop in when this kicks off in an hour, even though I’ve never played the multiplayer component!

You would be correct, sir.

Yes, Goldsrc version. Source version is awful.

Yo, text, how can I add you to my steam friends?

I’m allllllllll the way in Washington state, so I’m going to have abysmally high ping. Is that still worth joining? :smiley:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NICE GAME BRAH!

Had a lot of fun killing you guys, hope we can make this a regular thing.

Damn… That was extremely fun… WHY YOU STOP SO EARLY!! ‘rageface’ :smiley:

Edit: Oh and yes let’s even make this a regular thing.

Agreed! That was amazing while it lasted! I’d love to do some more matches on a regular basis.

I honestly wasn’t interested in HL multiplayer before, but now I just want to play it into next morning.

That was fun! I’d definitely be up for some more!

We should try other games too. CS1.6, DoD 1.3? Hell, let’s do all the GoldSrc games.
