RAMIREZ! LIFT THAT FRIDGE

Actually there's probably some cross-genre niche market in there somewhere. Some sort of self-aware squad-based physics shooter.

Definite potential there for nuking the fridge, to recoin a phrase, eh?

To get back to Black Mesa Source: even if it ends up little more than a glorified reskin with added physics, I'm looking forward to it.

For example, the puzzle where you have to add bricks as a counterweight to a lever in order to advance is something that I can't imagine encountering in any of those franchises I just mentioned.

I can't imagine a laser duel in a 1600s Japanese period piece. Wow.

I'm excited, but I'm still jaded. lol. Also I'm still right, because they still haven't finished it.

I'll be playing it in any case.

If I never get to play their interpretation of Xen then I'm fully okay with that, because Valve's vanilla Xen was so awful I sometimes end my HL1 replaythroughs at the portal. Platforming; level design with no cover from instahit electric attacks... fuck Xen. I'll take Body of the Many over it any day.

Seems like the site died a heroic death. :)
"Website is currently unreachable"

EDIT: Found a working mirror:

Thanks for the link Malleus! :D

Torrent here too, now working (not too fast though):
(http://www.mediafire.com/?ba8kfb4xu4jjvna)

EDIT: Supposedly faster torrent with more trackers (just add the new trackers if already using the previous one)

Get the torrent from here: (http://www.mediafire.com/?651x4rf8k6rebav)

Add the following trackers to the torrent:

udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80
udp://tracker.ccc.de:80
udp://tracker.istole.it:80
udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80

(In the trackers tab of your torrent client, right click and select Add Tracker and paste these in, leaving an empty line between them)

Get Black Mesa at an average 300 Kb/s (way faster than the other links at the mo) and it will probably just get faster as more peeps get in on it.

Oop as Malleus said, soz

Thanks for the link Malleus, Added the extra trackers I didn't already have. it gave me a nice boost. I"ll be seeding this all day.

Currently downloading ~400K/s ...errr as I typed this it just jumped to 700 - 800. Wow, those trackers really helped.

I'm uploading at a steady 250K/s.

yeah... download speed is still fluctuating. A lot.

I don't know if having HL2 will work or not, They say you need the 2007 SDK, If you've got HL2 installed already it should only be a couple hundred MB to download.
