Bought HL1 at a computer fair in 1999. I didn't know it was out but I had seem some of the gameplay trailers for it from E3 1998. Got it on steam now but the WON CD still works. It's got Worldcraft 2.1 on it and everything.

Bottom Line:
I enjoyed it. Basically it was guess work that got me through it as I'm not really clued in on Kanji or Anime or everything in between. It was pretty fun, a really unique idea and doggybag71 has done a fantastic job.

I don't do horror games. They just don't entertain me. Too many of them resort to jump-scares which I just kind of expect now.
Now, if a game or mod were to genuinely unnerve me then I'd be impressed. I think dark, grunge themes are being done to death and they're just not scary. I would love, really LOVE to see a horror based game set in a familiar location. None of this old abandoned tunnel or hospital crap.
Condemned 1 is a good example of this. The game never scared me as a whole, however the closing level took place in and around a farm house full of crazy people. THAT was scary.
(People also need to stop using zombies in horror games. Least scary thing ever.)

A lot certainly has happened over the years that I've been here. To think I originally signed up because I'd been banned from Planet Half-Life. Now TWHL is part of my life in that I check it every day at least once, i met one of my good friends here, and I'm part of the MOTM team. Heh.

A great tribute to the way gaming used to be for better and for worse. Anyone who's looking for a Half-Life based nostalgia trip should definitely download it. Fantastic work.

I think the map is superb and I salute Hotdog for making it. He's taken the cool gameplay of the original and made a high-definition remake.Besides, that's not how a play through works.
I dunno.

No you didn't :/
Now my AMD processor gave me no end of problems, combined with my ATi HD graphics card. Jesus that was a shitty combination.
That is all.

I dunno. Sounds like a spot on description of Glasgow to me.
Stay tuned.
