I think the reason Blue Shift didn't feature multiplayer is because it wasn't really any different to the original HL gameplay wise.
It was a map pack with some new models. There is nothing in Blue-Shift that couldn't be done with HL1 because the enemies and weapons are all the same.
Opposing Force on the other hand added new weapons and mechanics which made the MP aspect more entertaining. Blue Shift MP would just be HLDM with Barney's hands.

Yeah, the Spirit FGD is a modified version of the original halflife.fgd and they should not be used together.
I'm still playing Skyrim. Well... I say "playing." I mean dicking around...
I'm also still recording highlights from my roleplay as an arsehole Very little improv needed, as I am an arsehole.

GeForce GTX 970 4GBUrby approved!
Imma just nerd out and guess that you're near Morthal there...
Aye. Is purdy. 
Wait, are you implying that the first Max Payne took itself seriously at some point? When? I didn't notice that... MP2 and 3 sure but...
Must've be an easter egg.

I couldn't possibly play a Serious Sam game for longer than say, a demo.
This Halloween I will be dressed as Urby from Scotch and Coffee fame.
Launched Battlefield 4 for the first time in months following the recent game changing, bug fixing, boner inspiring patch dubbed by players as "Battlefield 4 2.0"
My thoughts? Well, I managed to play BF4 online for about 5 hours straight without feeling the need to snap my keyboard in half. Every time I died I knew it was my fault and not some game breaking glitch.
It was good. Now that the game is playable and selling at £20 it's full of inexperienced sniper fodder and my £80 investment from 2 years ago feels worth it.

Actually I have had the closing issue now that you mention it.
I can honestly say I haven't experienced any issues with HLMV... but then I'm running Win7
She ugly.
IIRC it's a game in MC where you have to try to remove blocks from below one another and the one that falls through loses. Could be mistaken...
Been playing DayZ all day, jumping into servers with Twitch streamers. So much fun, regardless of the glitches. 
I found a hoarder's nest in a police station in DayZ.
Then I shot a man in the stomach when he tried to get in. He fell unconscious so I bandaged and resuscitated him, passed him a bottle of water and he limped away after saying. "I no mad at you, I get message."
Also started playing Skyrim again, uploading the highlights to YouTube as I did with Fallout 3 as Lord Casserole. Sadly, my Fallout 3 saves have broken so I can't carry on with the series. Here is the first episode of a new series dubbed: Rimming the Sky with Nord Casserole.

My framerate drops a bit in the room with the coolant and the burst pipe. Other than that I had no issues in the late game.
Why you stop?

It's the On a Rail chapter isn't it?
Oh noes. Tet pixellated his reg plate. How can I stalk him now? D:
There's still hope though. There can't be THAT many VWs in Connecticut, right?

Isn't it just Hammer in the Dota2 tools?
You've all seen mah faec. Too dark to get photos of my ride now. Tomorrow maybe.
In Spirit it would be a piece of piss.
With Vanilla, I'm thinking 3 train entities and a shit ton of patience.

Ah memories. ...incidentally:
Do unto Rimrook as you would have Rimrook do unto Srry... I guess.
HAHAHAHA
Images are really easy to flip as well.
My awesome models for The Core
Yeah. Check out those bad boys.
Seriously, what you're seeing is my first and last attempts at making models from scratch.

Also, nice cat. Can never fail with nature's camera whores.

I've had a half finished sketch on my desk since my last post, just sitting there, judging me.
Not sure whether to just finish it or if I've left it too long. Might start anew. I can rarely go back to a drawing if I've left it for a while.
I wish I had a tablet if I'm honest.

DAMN YOU POUND SYMBOL!
Basically, I like it. Archie, Scoots and Digital_Ice all like it too. We all own it following the free weekend.
Hard as balls.

I think you've got it 
Count me in. I'm not working on anything at the moment.
...oh wait.
Seriously though, would be cool to see some more progress on PF.

I was hoping you would pick up on satire!Nevar!
I never played it due to that obscene opening remark.Quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever read. FC3 was one of my favourite games of whatever year it came out. Yes, the main character is a douchbag and has a bunch of douchebag friends, but that makes it all the more satisfying when they get caught up in the whirlwind of pirates, kidnapping, drugs, anal rape and countless murders.
You should have at least stuck around for the antagonist. He was a much better character, one you couldn't help but take notice of.
I wonder how they imagined that going...
I don't think I expected to much of DNF. I just figured they might retain some of the FUN stuff they showed in the 1998 and 2001 trailers. Sadly, they stripped most of the fun out in favour of modern shooter bullshit.
Seriously... THIS looked sooo awesome. in 2001

Bottom Five Games
5. Project IGI
I bought this because PCWorld had a reward points system and when I bought the original Black and White on PC and a new mouse I could also get this for free. It boasted on the map about having the "largest levels ever!" I can't remember the exact measurements but it was pretty huge back in the day. Nothing compared to modern open world games. The downside? The levels were HUGE and... basically empty. Objectives would be confined to a warehouse or factory in the center of a huge featureless desert.
4. Red Alert 3
Some things just aren't meant to be 3D. On top of that they certainly shouldn't totally bollocks up the control system. C&C:Generals killed the franchise for me, RA3 put the nails in the coffin.
3. Jurassic Park: Trespasser
I loved Jurassic Park as a kid. Fuck it, I love Jurassic Park to this day. Even The Lost World rated highly in my books when I was younger (slightly less so these days) but Trespasser was the first time I remember being let down. Looking back on it now, I can tell it was WAY too ambitious for its time. Open world(ish) and a full physics system as well? Fairly standard today, but not back then. Shame it wasn't released at a later date because it could have been incredible.
2. Final Fantasy XIII
Starting: Man, I loved FF7, BUT THIS? THIS IS PS3! This is going to be AMAZING!
One hour in: Uhm... Hello? Can I actually play something here?
Two hours in: Is that a no?
Three hours in: Playing FF7
1. Duke Nukem Forever
Fuck you Gearbox. Fuck you 3D Realms.

Been off work ill today and focusing on a screen was making my eyes bulge out of my head.
Started another drawing instead, which I will upload when done. All simply because of this thread.
Thanks DarkieScotchJessie

Apparently it's from EAGames and an iOS game. I can see two reasons why it might be total arse.
Man, who knew Springfield was such a poorly laid out city...
Heh, had to Google Saria but I can see what you mean.
I used to draw ALL the time. It's just what I used to do when I was younger.
It's been a while so I did this really quick drawing to see if I've still got it.

Getting that shit immediately!
UPDATE: Well, my success was short lived. Cooler crapped out on me again last night. Seemingly at random. PC was running fine for about half an hour before the temp shot up to 101 degrees again... Managed to get it going again this morning but there's no guarantee it won't die again. Putting in that order for a new Heatsink as well as the new case fans which arrive on Monday.
