September 7, 201213 yr Hells yeah, I am excited! try to achieve your dreams because one day you might forget how to dream!
September 8, 201213 yr Wow, last I heard of this was years ago. Glad to see something came of it. Get back here so I can rub your butt.
September 8, 201213 yr Glad to see it is almost here. Shame chances are it won't be greenlighted till after release.
September 8, 201213 yr Finally! I've been waiting for this for a while, glad they didn't pull the pin on it all together. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.
September 14, 201213 yr Kind of disappointed it windows only, but I'll probably download it on my windows partition when I get a chance.
September 14, 201213 yr Finally released, but the downloads are all bogged down so much, so I'm going to wait a few days. Want to be my friend? Look under my name to the left<<< and click the 'Add as friend' button!Big thanks to Stevepole for the signature!^
September 15, 201213 yr Merely calling it an "improved HL1" or "HL1 in Source" is a little bit unfair to the creators of this mod. It's basically a complete re-imagining of the original, which adds a lot of cool little things, and you can see that they really put a lot of work into it all. At the same time, it does stay faithful to the original. Definitely enjoying it thus far. Downloaded it about eight hours ago, the torrent worked just fine and the entire download took me around 10 minutes. Keep in mind that you must also download the Source Base SDK 2007 through Steam for Black Mesa to work. Assuming you don't have either, it's a 6-7GB download. Feel bad for those who are stuck with shitty internet :(
September 16, 201213 yr Author Dude, what did that poor headcrab do to you? Any Way The Wind Blows...
September 17, 201213 yr Been playing this today. Just launched the Rocker. The game is so good. It has small changes which keep the game fresh, but they seem very faithful to the spirit and feeling of the original. The game also feels so much more real, with must more unique interaction with the other characters, as well as the massively upgraded graphics. I'm honestly loving the game so far, and I think it's better than many games which cost money. Want to be my friend?

September 17, 201213 yr Dude, what did that poor headcrab do to you? I needed a new colour for my wall.
September 17, 201213 yr Is anybody else finding this game MUCH harder than the original? I think with the advanced AI, the army is incredibly tough. I think I've been coddled by modern shooters too much, and i'm getting killed with an alarming frequency. The section shortly before 'Surface Tension' begins, just after all of the test chambers took me so many tries. The enemy flank me constantly and do a fair amount of damage. I'm now at the dam section and don't really seem to have found a solid tactic for killing them yet. Want to be my friend?

September 18, 201213 yr Author Yeah, i noticed that too. Worst part for me was when you fight that freakin heli, just after you find rocket launcher. I'm kinda worried about Xen part, where we're gonna face many alien grunts and vortigaunts. Any Way The Wind Blows...
