Portal is such an interesting game, whether you love it or hate, whether you are a great player or a bad player, it’s clear to see that the concept behind it has so many possibilities.

A simple idea: a house surrounded by zombies of one sort or another. Work you way to the car garage and get ready for the fight of your life. Be warned: it’s a never ending map.

The developers of human Error, Flesh and Research and Development have announced a new Total Conversion mod called Water. The mods looks pretty cool and it’s another mod for review on my new website, but what this post is about is one of the features listed.

The Rising looks a pretty cool mod and I’ll definitely be reviewing it for me new website but one thing that struck me was the overlay maps.

I know it’s a multiplayer mod but it got me thinking why mods include them. I can’t decide if I like them or not.

There’s a cool video making the rounds of website links called Unfinished 1st person test (new footage at end) by thejazzman9475, yes, he of those TF2 dance videos. Highly recommended BTW. Got me thinking about whether this was something I wanted to see in EP3

Over 7 years old but still kinda fun.

A simple “maze” that is very similar to Cube.

Can you find your way out?

And if you do, was it worth it?

A simple objective: Find the portal to escape the base.

Beware there are a LOT of grunts trying to kill you.

Can you survive? I doubt it.

I love MTV. Unlike many, if not most of you, I was around when it first launched and was working in the fitness industry at the time. The hours we spent working out and watching MTV! Ahhh, the good ol days. Anyway, I love to just put the TV on and watch the vids whenever I get the chance, which isn’t often and normally only when I get to stay in a hotel.

Half-Life has spawned a LOT of videos on YouTube and the like, but most aren’t very good. I’ve decided to post 5 videos that use Half-Life 2. If yours didn’t make the list, just comment and I’ll take a look. I may post a part two next year.

They are in no particular order. So, let’s get started.

A simple map where you must kill everything you find and explore.
