6×10 Mapping Competition Series Podcast

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

Here is the podcast for my 6×10 Mapping Competition Series.

It features William, from Podcast 17, who did Let’s Play videos of each mod, and three mappers who entered the competitions; Justin, David and Tony.

I explain why I choose the format, the guests discuss their thoughts on the format, we then move onto to our overall feelings about the whole series and the mods it produced.

We then take a look at each competition and discuss the entries from the guests, including our favourites.

Then we add our final thoughts and finish with a brief discussion about possible future formats.

I really enjoyed recording this and hope you enjoy listening – it’s a long one!

November 2012 – General Chat

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

So, here we are. It’s getting much colder where I live, so I don’t feel so guilty sitting in front of the computer at weekends.

Check out this HorrorGami, it’s pretty cool. I suggested he try some video game characters.

This post is used to chat about anything and everything, except maps and mods posted on the site, which should have their discussion on the respective post.

Half-Life: Twitter Style Review

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

How would you describe or review Half-Life via Twitter?

Well, here’s my attempt at a description.

I’ll try and write a review version too.

Tram ride to gem push. Shit hits fan. Get help. Alien & grunts block you. BM is huge. Lab guys help. Xen awaits. Kill big baby. Job offer.

Poll Question 283 – How soon after the release of Half-Life 3 will you play it?

So, let’s be clear, from this moment forward, and probably some time in the past, I will be calling the next game in the HL series: Half-Life 3.

I think we all agree it’s not going to be an episode any more.

Onto the poll question. My working life is a little different to what it was 20 years ago and I no longer have the opportunity to take days off when I want it – basically, I work when I am told to.

Complete Half-Life Walkthrough

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

I am very pleased to announce the release of, what I am sure is without doubt, the most comprehensive walkthrough of Half-Life available.

It was made possible by the writing and research of Stanley E. Dunigan and the formatting skills of William Barnard.

Together, we have created a PDF version that can be viewed both online and printed.

September 2012 – General Chat

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

I should have pre-posted this post before my holiday – sorry about that.

Anyway, please use this post to discuss anything on your mind.

This month you are not allowed to talk about Paris Syndrome.

Just in case you were wondering, I will be posting something about Black Mesa Source, even if I won’t have the download link available immediately.
