I loved Half-Life 2: Episode Two and I presume you did. Once I became accustomed to the Magnusson Device AKA The Strider Buster I really enjoyed using it but am disspaointed to see that no EP2 mods have used it. Why do you think that is?

So there I was watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s when it occurred to me I was watching a film nearly 50 years old.

When I first thought about this I thought that it must be regular updates but now that I really think about it I probably prefer just suddently hearing about it.

Between PP and City17 I think that we have 99% of all SP maps and mods released, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some great maps and mods waiting to be found.

Yesterday I posted an old article called Cybergame Players Need Coaches Too!, in which I discussed skill acquisition when playing video games. I know many amongst you feel that just playing SP games is enough. However, I feel you are wrong and would like to try and convince you.

Personally I only play one mod at a time because my attention span is so short I would forget what each mods is about.

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.

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.
