Before we get into specifics, let’s be clear about something. There will always be people who can just step into something and do it well.
This is the Poll Questions category
Regular (used to be weekly) polls to stimulate interesting and intelligent discussion.

Poll Question 121 – How often do you replay your favourite mods?
Regular readers will know that I never replay mods. Although that may be about to change. There’s been such a dearth of good mods lately I think I’ll try a few good ones again.

Poll Question 120 – How long do you spend on a puzzle before cheating?
This week’s poll question is inspired by Jason Gimba AKA Kyouryuu who commented on Dangerous World Demo that after 15 minutes of trying to get past the gate he noclipped through.

Poll Question 119 – Do you like to protect NPCs?
Following on from last week’s poll, this week I ask about specific NPCs. The image above is taken from Azure Sheep, where if my memory serves me you had to protect Kate, a female security guard.

Poll Question 118 – Would you like to see more squad based SP Mods?
Regular readers will know that I dislike playing with squads. Mainly becasue they are more trouble than they are worth! Squad Romeo did a good job but I don’t remember any others. I am surprised that the community hasn’t made more maps with squads.

Poll Question 117 – Are Mods Getting Better?
To really do this question justice I think a detailed analysis of the mods released would need to be presented. However, until that happens we will have to just use our memories and wander blindly into the discussion!

Poll Question 115 – Would you continue a bad, long mod in the hope that it improves?
This goes back to Poll Question 111, where I asked about one long or 5 short mods. With 5 short mods, if you don’t like what you are playing, you can stop and you don’t have to worry too much about missing some great levels. With a long mod if you don’t like what you are playing you have to consider whether the mod gets better.

Poll Question 114 – Have you ever dreamed about Half-Life?
Last night I had this strange dream where I was using the crowbar to flick headcrabs in the air and then bat them like a baseball. It’s not the first HL-related dream I have had either!

Poll Question 113 – Has a mod ever made you a better player
I just added a mod called The Real 2 and the author claimed, via his website, that when you finished it you would be a better player. I don’t believe that, unless the mod is specifically designed to improve a player’s skill via specific practices.
