Another Lame Portrayal

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

After recording the latest episode of Podcast 17 I decide to sit down and watch an episode of House M.D.

It was from the sixth season, number three, called Epic Fail. It starts with a scene very similar to Doom 3 and for a moment I wondered whether I was watching the right show.

My interest was obviously piqued but as usual the way game and gamers are represented on T.V. was woeful. This is another example that demonstrates the way mainstream media clearly has no real idea about gaming.

Poll Question 143 – Delay Episode Three for a new Source engine?

Gabe Newell has said there is a good reason that they can’t talk about progress for Episode Three and I think it’s because they are working on a new Source engine, or at least a huge update for the current version.

There’s only so much tweaking you can do before you have to start afresh; it’s the same with hardware. Some changes can’t be incremental.

here we go again. Another prison escape. This time you get to use the Gravity Gun!

I hope you can swim, because it starts with a fall into some deep and dark water.

After that, things become a little easier, asssuming you don’t mind heights.

Surprise, surprise, you need to escape from a prison. Find the key to your cell and your journey will begin.

Look everywhere and don’t leave any crate unturned.

You even get to drive the airboat, if you can get that far, that is.

Starting in a very large walled area, you need to get the buggy.

Once over the wall you find a lot of Metrocops and a Strider.

Can you reach the end and kill them all?
