Year in Review: 2014

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

So now Christmas and New year celebrations are over, I thought I would take a look at 2014.

I have to admit that with looking back at the list of posts, very little actually comes to mind about SP release last year.

Perhaps you are one of those people who remember the names of mods and approximate release dates without checking but I’m not.

I won’t be linking to each and every post made on the site, just highlight interesting ones and mentioning other topics.

Awards 2014

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

Here at PP, soon to be RunThinkShootLive, there have been intermittent end of year awards, but from now on, there will be an award ceremony every year.

Each category will be voted upon by readers but the initial list will come from the Recommendation System.

Only maps and mods actually RELEASED in 2014 will be eligible for consideration. Maps and mods are updated and lots of older maps and mods are added within any given year but those won’t be considered.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So, here we are and it’s 2015. What are your gaming hopes and dreams for this year?

I’m not going to bore you with mine except to say that I am going to play more games this year.

Obviously, I have objectives for the site but I think it’s better to just forget shouting about them and get my head down.

The move to the new domain has had to be delayed a little bit because the new theme is not working quite right and it’s better to do a “Valve” and move when it’s ready rather than on a specific date. That said, I don’t think it will be delayed long.

Anyway, over to you, let’s chat.

Well, the holidays are only a few weeks away and I am sure looking forward to them.

I am lucky, as I have about two weeks off work (no pay though), but that will give me plenty of time to work on the new theme and add lots of missing maps and mods.

Freeman’s Return 1

for Half-Life

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

You play as Gordon Freeman, who returns to an unknown base.

As usual, you must contend with everybody and everything trying to kill you.

Only the strongest can survive this onslaught – are you one of them?

We had an incredible October here in the Basque Country (Euskadi) and the weather has been better than August. I’m not joking.

Work on the new theme is progressing nicely and I am currently adding the special pages and putting the finishing touches to the “table” page and something new called the “timeline”. Integration with the Recommendation System is proving harder than expected. I’ll be calling for beta testers in a few weeks.

October is upon us.

Leaves changing colour, more rainy days meaning no more excuses to not be in front of our computers playing Half-Life mods!

Got any modding plans for this winter? Gonna build your first mod? You should. In fact, so should I!

Poll Question 301- How old is your main gaming computer?

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

In the first in a short series of hardware polls, this week’s poll is about the age of your main gaming computer.

The question was suggested by a reader who is building a mod and has decided to ensure his son’s computer can run it, since it’s quite old.

It’s a sensible philosophy but when he suggested it to me, we couldn’t find a good way of classifying PCs.

September 2014 General Chat

Welcome to September!

My Squash training should be over (I never did any due to injury) and the season should be about to start. I’m still injured and will probably miss the whole of September, which means I won’t be fully fit until January – being old SUCKS!

Anyway, the good news is that it leaves me more time for the site, so expect regular updates.

I’ll even try to restart the weekly Poll Questions, if I can think of enough interesting things to write about.

Hopefully, I’ll also finish The Trap and start a new long term Twitch series.

So, how was your Summer?
