I wish these people made games…

Just a silly little daydream I had today, while cleaning my hard drive of junk.

What if I were some a game producer and I could get various people to make a game with me.

Poll Question 236 – How does the weather affect your gaming?

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

Maybe the questions isn’t as clear as it should be, but what I am asking about is the frequency rather than any reference to “style”. That could be a whole other topic!

To be honest, I play as much as I want as often as I want, in fact, I generally prefer it when it rains, so I don’t feel guilty sitting in front of my PC when the sun is shining.

The Art of Teasing

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

I had been thinking about this post for a few days, you know, writing different paragraphs in my head, then forgetting about it and coming back to it.

Then I played Whoopservatory (that’s gotta be one of the strangest mod names around!) and decided to sit down and write it. The reason is that Whoopservatory teases the player really well and it seems to be an art that hasn’t been used much in Source maps compared to GoldSource or even Unreal.
