6×10 Mapping Competition Series Podcast

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Here is the podcast for my 6×10 Mapping Competition Series.

It features William, from Podcast 17, who did Let’s Play videos of each mod, and three mappers who entered the competitions; Justin, David and Tony.

I explain why I choose the format, the guests discuss their thoughts on the format, we then move onto to our overall feelings about the whole series and the mods it produced.

We then take a look at each competition and discuss the entries from the guests, including our favourites.

Then we add our final thoughts and finish with a brief discussion about possible future formats.

I really enjoyed recording this and hope you enjoy listening – it’s a long one!
