Roundtable: The Future of Source Modding

This is the first in a new series of in-depth discussions on one particular topic or aspect of Source gaming. I hope to do around 3 or 4 of these a year.

This one, as you can see, is entitled “The Future of Source Modding”, and we discuss various aspects of this theme.

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

I was lucky enough to have a chat with Patrick Murphy, the maker of Precursor, a highly-rated new single player mod for Episode Two. It’s one of my longer interviews and we talk about a number of things but really focus on the mod itself and various aspect of it.

Patrick has agreed to stop by and respond to any comments, so feel free to ask him your own questions.

Poll Question 166 – Do you schedule your mod play?

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

This poll question was inspired by Jasper. He emailed me to suggest a poll about the current mod drought and how it affected us playing our favourite mods.

I jiggled it a little to wonder whether people saved mods for rainy days (or droughts!).
