TREE: Blue Shift Podcast

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

As part of the The Replay Experience Experiment, here is the third of a number of podcasts, discussing one of the games we have played.

In this case, it’s for Blue Shift. This time, Don hosts the podcast and I am the guest! Don is a modder with tremendous experience and has released a number of mods/maps including, Radix.

We discuss Blue Shift from a number of different aspects. I apologize for seemingly never stopping complaining about anything new.

Both Don and I will respond to any comments you may make, so please don’t hesitate to comment.

Focalpoint

for Half-Life

“A few hours after Adrian Shephard and his squat got scattered allover the Black Mesa Complex, headquarter sent a rescue team to search the lost crew.

But as we all know even a military operation never turns out as planned…

Finding himself in the misery a soldier tries to do the best out of his lonely situation. Searching for allies he quickly becomes a major part in an issue he´s never been training for.”

Two New Input Devices

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Recently, I came across a couple of new input devices and they showed people playing games.

I’m pretty happy with the mouse and keyboard and besides my occasional dreams, sticking with both is fine for me.

That said, I would be averse to testing and review these two products.

Apparently, I can sell DOTA 2!

Somebody just asked for a copy of DOTA 2 and since I still have about 30 left, I sent them one.

But as I was doing it, I noticed a new button underneath the usual ones: SELL.

So I click it and the image below is what I saw.

Street Stuck

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Author’s Note:The objective of this short demo is to recreate the City 17 universe in a much more detailed, destructible and architecturally enhanced environment, one that should have been originally presented to us in Episode 1.

This demo was originally part of a much bigger project, but has now been transformed into a small portfolio gameplay piece.
