Text Interview 2 with Chris Fox and Jose M Ameyugo
I’ve been trying to get both Jose and Chris online to record an audio interview for weeks. It was impossible, so we agreed on a text one instead. The questions were sent by email, so it may read a little strangely. Enjoy the read – there’s some interesting answers in there.

Poll Question 213 – Do you prefer smaller, polished mods or larger, less polished mods?
I was thinking why Imprudent Trek Above the Streets, won my recent RooftopVille mapping competition. Not only did I select it as the winner, most readers did too. There were some very good other entries but this one seemed more focused and polished.

Poll Question 212 – How well do you know the details behind the HL universe?
I know it’s only February but I am going to make an effort this year to spend time researching and reading about the details behind the games themselves.
I will use four main source: Combine Overwiki, HalfLife2.net’s forums, The Half-Life Saga Story Guide and Valve’s Raising the bar.

Rebel Storyfor Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Starting in one of the Combine pods, you suddenly find yourself dropped and free. Don’t hang around too long though otherwise you’ll get caught again.
You best bet is to keep running and kill everything in your path. There’s talk of a working Jalopy on the other side of the train station.

A Steam friend of mine messaged me yesterday about the announcement of Dear Esther going commercial.

Poll Question 210 – What did you honestly think of “Beyond Black Mesa”?
This post contains strong and forceful language.
In addition, I hold nothing back concerning my deeply held beliefs about Half-Life.
If you are easily offended, I suggest you give this post a miss.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
