Having been involved in both the creation and testing of this map, I have to say that I love it through and through. The sheer number of access points to each area makes for some buttock-clenching tension and destructive firefights (throw a grenade in the main office and you'll see what I mean)
I am yet to play with a significant number of human players, but I have no doubt that it would still play the same as with bots, and with bots, it plays like a top bollock map.

That job has been on their site since 2008 so it's not Duke Nukem seeing as that was cancelled in 2009.
I don't think it will be Opposing Force either, seeing as there isn't really anywhere to go with the story. Opposing Force was non canon. The ending plainly points that out. GMan tells Shepherd that he has been relocated so as to not tell the world about what happened at Black Mesa. A moot point seeing as the portal storms would strike a few hours / days later. (Also, they seem to be doing a lot of work with Unreal, not Source.)
It's probably Gearbox's idea of one of the most famous shooters. Hell, it's probably the next Brothers in Arms game.

I love how when you're dreaming, all the extremely bizarre events going on around you don't bother you in the slightest. Then you wake up thinking "WTF?"
I once had a dream about my own birthday party but it was like, nowhere near my birthday. I didn't complain. Then I went to my room with a few of my mates to try out a new PC game I got. (I can't remember what this mystery game was called but I was very excited about it and I can remember the box art ) Opened the door to my room and this thick pink / purple slime was oozing out of my ceiling onto the floor and down the walls. I distinctly remember saying out loud "Oh great, the ceiling's doing that thing again." I woke myself up by talking and then I was just sat up in bed, wondering what the bloody hell my mind was playing at...

I will never grasp any coding languages. I have no time or desire to do so. I let the programming department deal with all the PHP and I just make things pretty with xHTML and CSS.

Ravenholm never scared me. Until one day...
I was playing through HL2 again, (this only really happens if I have made some new skins) and I was at a particular place in Ravenholm where I knew I was about to be attacked by 2 fast zombies. So this time, I closed the door, and waited for them to burst in, shotgun at the ready. Then CRASH! Down they come through the fucking skylight windows behind me. Shat a brick. Very nice scripting by VALVe.

Started Christmas shopping in February, finished the other day. I hate shopping just about as much as I hate people so I do in short bursts throughout the year to avoid the rush and screaming children (stab stab stab)

It seems I put this video up without thinking properly about the consequences. Looking back I can understand how I came off as a bit of a prick.
Actually, a totally moronic and hypocritical arsehole.
I sincerely apologize to anyone I've offended and I will probably remove the video soon and apologize in my next vlog (tomorrow as a matter of fact) to anyone who happens to have been offended by it.
It was the end of a long day and it was an extremely poor attempt at humor that got out of hand.

May I say congratulations one web designer to another.
I've been doing professional design integration for 2 months now. The pay leaves much to be desired, but I'm still on starting wage for the time being. Should be going up soon though.
It is a lot of fun, which is a blessing when it comes to jobs. Of course you get the odd awkward client now and again.

You're maturing my friend. It does crazy things to you emotions but trust me. School may be the best years in terms of the lack of responsibility, but adult life, if done right, is fucking fun!

Compare mapping in OP4 to that of Half-Life and Gearbox wipe the floor with Valve. Blue shift even more so. Yes it wasn't so great, but damn were the maps attractive.
The best thing about blue-shift was that it came with the HD pack.
Oh nostalgia, how you torment me!
Also, while they are accurate in terms of facial features and such, they tend to mess up on the actual skull shape.
Rimmy, this is epic stuff. Thanks.

Ok.
I thought people were complaining that MOTM wasn't being updated fast enough.
It has some major issues however.
OpenGL - R_Speeds are terrible throughout the entire pack
D3D - Major delays with controls in sprite and effect heavy areas.
Plus all the Source content which is a no no I believe.
We'd best look into colonizing other planets too, otherwise the Earth will become overcrowded.

The black tie? Is that your doing as well? It looks a lot better than the red and blue in my opinion. It looks more...sensible.
Great to hear about the expansions though. I hope to get all 5 for my birthday because I fucking love that game.
