Welcome to Challenge Number 04.

If you don’t know what the Challenge Series 2009 is all about, please read the Introduction.

Onto the Fourth challenge.

Here is a text interview I had with Magnar Jenssen the author of Mission Improbable.

It was conducted over a couple of emails with quite a long gap between. It doesn’t read disjointed to me but you may not it.

So, here it is, enjoy!

I wish I had more time, but then again, who doesn’t?

My problem is that there is never enough time to follow and keep up to date with all the interesting mods.

Every mod should ensure that they have an RSS feed available to help interested players get the latest information as soon as it’s released

As the name suggests, you go back to Black Mesa. It’s a sparse area with some Grunts and Vortigaunts.

There’s only 1 headcrab to be found in the whole mod, which is a good thing.

Gargs can be found in various places throughout the mod, no need to look too hard, it’s not as if you could miss them, is it?

A never-ending map, with a green hue in the back from where zombies are spawned.

You and your fellow rebels are at the other end waiting for the onslaught.

Father Gregori is in the middle, doing his best to help you.

Welcome to Challenge Number 03.

If you don’t know what the Challenge Series 2009 is all about, please read the Introduction.

Onto the third challenge.

A simple orange textured room with spawning enemies and your own spawn control centre.

This never-ending map allows you to spawn a few types of enemies and plenty of ammo and allies

Spawn the crates to build a tower to reach the top room and make life really hard!

I have a background in skill acquisition and performance analysis. For me the concept of continually trying to improve in everything we do is natural. For many, applying this concept to gaming is strange, especially single player gaming.

I have written about this particular subject before with Cybergame players need coaches too and more to the point of this article: the Single Player Playing Guide.

Strider Mountain has to be the longest/largest/biggest mod ever made, don’t you think?

As you can see from the comments, it’s received a mixed reception, with most giving it a Personal Favourite recommendation image.

This poll isn’t about the mod itself, but about how you played it
