Maki is looking for this…
It was a multi-map mod that started off in a cabin, talking to some fellow with a Russian name who was a reskinned Barney. He may have been your brother? He gives you orders to do such-and-such. You meet up with him later on in the mod. I remember it being a pretty good mod, but I’m unsure of its title. Likely released within the last 5 years.
Can we help him?
If you have a mod you are looking for, just email me the details and I will create a new post for it.
My association with The Citizen and The Citizen Returns is long. I know both main developers fairly well and even voice acted in them. However, when The Citizen Returns was released slightly over a year ago, I delayed playing it because I just didn’t have time. As time went on, I kept saying, “Oh! I’ll play it next week”. Of course, I never did.
Then Jim Patridge was “asked” to do it for his Critical Jim and he seemed to slip into full berserker mode and verbally trashed it.

A RTSL member emailed me a few days ago, asking if I knew the name of a mod he is looking for.
People often think that my memory is equal to my looks, intelligence, charm, wit, creativity and humility. Alas, it’s not. I struggle to remember my name sometimes (why do you think I originally called it PlanetPhillip?)
Anyway, here is the text…
My question is fairly simple. I once half-played a game which I have been unable to subsequently find. I remember having to find my way up to a very high place inside what I remember was a large hall and might have included a reactor/machine of some sort. It was a massive place and I was very high. Dark. Modern. Steel. Precarious. I might be mistaken thinking that en route, there were tanks or cages with animals in them, but that might have been another game. Given that I recall amazing detail, I can only guess it was HL2 or above.
If that’s not sufficiently vague for you, nothing will be.
Can any wise and kind member help?

Howdy All. Here we are with another quick “What The Headcrab” episode. It’s been a few weeks since the last one, but I have tried to be judicious in selecting the posts.
If you don’t know what this podcast is about, please read the What The Headcrab: Introduction.
Below is the podcast, along with the links to each topic mentioned, along with my very brief notes.

You find yourself in prison, but not just a regular prison, OH NO!, one in space!
All that really matters is if you can escape.
A little opportune “invasion” might help.
Good Luck.

After posing this question as a poll question a few days ago and getting a fairly positive response, I thought I would take the plunge and try it.
Here I present the guidelines and some technical details for us to discuss, amend, remove or add.

I haven’t checked, but I am sure we have talked about monetizing mods before, in polls and general discussions on the site. And it seems that Valve is still interested in paid mods and I have to say that I am in general support of the idea.
But there seems to be other possibilities for ensuring that modders get a chance to make money and one of those is donations.
Imagine, and I must stress, I am not actively pursuing the idea, if RTSL created a system for users to donate money to some modders would you support it? Of course currently , you could contact the modder directly and ask for his or her details and send money that way, but if there was a proper system, that might make it easier for everybody.
Once Half-Life 3 releases and people start making mods for that, I’m sure Valve will instigate paid mods, but this idea is more about non-HL3 mods.
So, let’s talk about it, and see what happens.

Yesterday morning, I read a piece of news on the BBC website entitled Call of Duty unlocks final mission of Black Ops 3 and it made me realize that since HL2 all the chapters have been locked.
To be honest, I think it’s a good thing because I might not resist the temptation to jump to the end, especially with HL3. But then I thought about most other mediums and it seems that users have complete control. Books, magazine, movies (if watched at home) etc. That doesn’t mean just because they do, games should too, but at least I have the choice.

In this 6 minute video, Abraham Lee AKA ihonnyboy discusses how modders should use Combine soldiers to get the most out of them but also how players should play against them.

With no other human around, at least not alive, it falls to you to find a way to escape.
Luckily, you have some weapons and armaments, use them wildly and you might make it.
Whatever the hell happened here, it’s not your day to die!
