Poll Question 144 – Do you remember the first mod you played?
I have a terrible memory, and it’s not just age.
I can remember the very first SP FPS game I tried (and hated) Kingdon Honor Guard, the next FPS I tried (and LOVED!) Unreal Tournament and the first SP game I played all the way through: Unreal.
I even remember walking around a PC store and seeing Half-Life but not wanting to try it because I was worried I would lose my love of Unreal.

Another Lame Portrayal
After recording the latest episode of Podcast 17 I decide to sit down and watch an episode of House M.D.
It was from the sixth season, number three, called Epic Fail. It starts with a scene very similar to Doom 3 and for a moment I wondered whether I was watching the right show.
My interest was obviously piqued but as usual the way game and gamers are represented on T.V. was woeful. This is another example that demonstrates the way mainstream media clearly has no real idea about gaming.

Poll Question 143 – Delay Episode Three for a new Source engine?
Gabe Newell has said there is a good reason that they can’t talk about progress for Episode Three and I think it’s because they are working on a new Source engine, or at least a huge update for the current version.
There’s only so much tweaking you can do before you have to start afresh; it’s the same with hardware. Some changes can’t be incremental.

Poll Question 142 – Do you prefer executables or compressed folders for mods?
Very few mods actually require an executable.
Most just need a properly packed SourceMods folder. Generally players seem to prefer the folders but some like the executables.
I worry that some mod teams make executables because they think it’s more professional.

Text Interview with Magnar Jenssen
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!

Poll Question 141 – In Development SP Mods: Do you…
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
