August 2018 – General Chat

I just looked at the July 2018 General Chat post and it talks about it raining. Guess what? It’s raining now. I just got back from my bike ride and was absolutely soaked – I love it!

So here we are August. I’ve got some things planned for the site, updates etc and hopefully some HL1 mapping too. I’ll try to start and finish one game as well.

What about you, what do you have planned?

OH, starting this month, I will be embedding the Half-Life Art and Half-Life Proverbs tweets into the comments of this post. Mostly for those people who don’t use Twitter.

Can you guess the name of the mod shown in the image above? It’s called Capital Punishment. I can’t link to it in a spoiler, so you will have to search the site for it.

Overtime

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Weapons galore sit on two tables in front of you.

Collect them and go forth to eliminate any enemies you find in your way.

Expect fierce resistance and no regard for their personal safety.

City 13

You find yourself in what seems to be a deserted city – City 13.

There is a prisoner you have been sent to rescue or kill.

Find him and eliminate all resistance.

Hill Valley 2015

for Half-Life 2

You have a task. Kill Breen. The place you find yourself feels like something from an old movie.

It’s not pretty but it is functional.

The layout requires careful observation to get where you need to get to.

Don’t forget about Breen!

City 14

for Half-Life 2

Life in City 14 is less user-friendly than in City 17. Civilian Protection are more and more oppressive, and civilian beatings are commonplace.

You are teleported into a weird building and you have lost your memory.

Your awakening and arrival will cause some events that you need to deal with.

Experimental Fuel

for Half-Life 2

As Month Python used to say, “And Now for Something Completely Different!”

This map has NO combat. There are NO puzzles.

So why the heck have I added it then? Because it’s fun, that’s why.

Take a Koke bottle into space. Really.

Go enjoy it.

Drew Mobley’s Prison Break

for Half-Life 2

“So, the plan is real simple, Gordon. You and Crazy will charge in, grab some guns, and let us out of the cells.

Once we’re out, well…we’ll figure it out from there.

Talk to Crazy when you’re ready, he’s probably watching the zombies again.

Good luck…we’re counting on you.“

Nuclear Plant

for Half-Life 2

Time for a blast from the past!

Take a journey into a nuclear power plant. Can you find all the secrets and enemies?

The secret areas are well hidden. Doom fans will love this.

Enjoy and let the mayhem begin.

Justice

for Half-Life 2

“Gordon Freeman is imprisoned at a Courthouse. He must escape before the GMan puts him out of commission. The courthouse security is tight, as the famed Freeman must not be allowed to leave the premise before he is sentenced. P.S. This is a new version of an old map. The gameplay has been modified after the author reviewed the comments of all the playtesters. Enjoy.“
