Audio Interview with CosmicD

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

I was fortunate to get in contact with CosmicD, the maker of The Core for a chat.

He’s not shy and once you get him started he just keeps going. Which is great, because you get to hear his views and ideas on a number of music/mod related topics.

We start in typical English fashion by talking about the weather! Stay tuned though because we do get to modding!

He makes mention of an update to The Core and I am happy to present 2 exclusive images from the new room that is being added to the mod.

Please forgive the seemingly abrupt ending, it really did end like that.

Looking for something that makes no sense? This could be it.

Looking for something that requires quick reactions and delicate touch? This could be it.

Looking for something that is just plain crazy? This is definitely it!

Would you play an anonymous mod?

So, after posting this week’s poll question about choosing a mod, an idea popped into my head.

A special feature, where, say once a month, I post an anonymous mod.

Let me explain. I tell you the game it’s for and the file size but you won’t know anything else about it.

Poll Question 245 – How do you choose a mod to play?

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

Obviously, I play everything.

I don’t have to, but I feel it’s required of me.

My reviews don’t carry any more weight than other reviewers, except in the sense that everything I add now, I review, so regular readers can get a sense of how their tastes fit against mine.
