I have just launched Osmosis and found it has reset itself back to the beginning, meaning I have lost all my finished zones, in effect my game saves.
The game was a gift and in all honesty, unless it suddenly and miraculously gets its saves back, I won’t play it from the beginning again.
So, as I was playing The Xeno Project and I reach a point where I had two routes; up and down.
Since the mod was just starting and I hadn’t been conditioned to believe one way was better than the other I was “free” to choose.

As part of the 100 Summer Days of Nostalgia event I added a mod called Prisoner of Event and in my review I complained about not having been given a crowbar.
It seems I wasn’t the only one who didn’t like not being given one, but behold, we were in fact complaining unfairly because there was a crowbar laying around at the beginning of the mod.

Sometimes the little techniques you use to play can make big difference. Too often I don’t manage my ammo very well and I regularly find myself staring into the eyes of some army grunt and running out of ammo!

I believe I have indirectly mentioned how I got into gaming in a number of other articles here on PP, but I thought it might be nice if I heard how you did.
To do that it only seemed fair that I share first. So, with that in mind, here is my story….

The 100 Summer Days of Nostalgia event has generated so many ideas for mod reports, podcasts and general articles. One of them, which has certainly been done before, but fits so well with the theme of the event is Where are they now?
I have emailed a few people and Petrick, a PP reader and reviewer, has said he has tried contacting a few people too, but I thought a proper post on the site would be a good idea.

A week or so ago I saw a news report about some server company advertising products in Counter-Strike: Source. I can’t find the article now but it said that Valve were not too happy about it, as the agreement specifically disallows it.

Starting tomorrow, Monday 27th June 2011, I willing be giving away one game from the Half-Life series (excluding Portal 1 and 2) everyday.
As usual, there will be a Half-Life trivia question to filter the unworthy! Of course, you, the reader, will probably already own these games, but as we know gamers are generous people and I am sure you know somebody who would love to play them.
All games have been kindly donated by Wozzle, a regular PP commenter – thanks Wozzle!
If you have any games you wish to donate to my giveaways, please contact me.

Mine’s bigger than yours. There I said it. Let the contradictions begin….
Oh wait, maybe you thought I mean something else. Silly me. My collection of unplayed SP FPS games is bigger than yours. There, that’s better

Art mods, Alt mods, Creative mods call them what you will, they have become more popular recently.
Whilst I am not a big fan of them, I recognise and applaud the creativity involved.
Using game engines for things other than gaming is certainly not new and and the more we explore possible uses the more interesting things get.
