I was thinking why Imprudent Trek Above the Streets, won my recent RooftopVille mapping competition. Not only did I select it as the winner, most readers did too. There were some very good other entries but this one seemed more focused and polished.

Poll Question 212 – How well do you know the details behind the HL universe?
I know it’s only February but I am going to make an effort this year to spend time researching and reading about the details behind the games themselves.
I will use four main source: Combine Overwiki, HalfLife2.net’s forums, The Half-Life Saga Story Guide and Valve’s Raising the bar.

Poll Question 211 – How do you feel about mods turning commercial?
A Steam friend of mine messaged me yesterday about the announcement of Dear Esther going commercial.
He was disappointed with the community’s response – specifically the negative comments.

Poll Question 210 – What did you honestly think of “Beyond Black Mesa”?
This post contains strong and forceful language.
In addition, I hold nothing back concerning my deeply held beliefs about Half-Life.
If you are easily offended, I suggest you give this post a miss.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Poll Question 205 – Was 2010 a good year for SP Source Mods?
By the time you read this it may be 2011. 2010 is just a memory, so when you look back on 2010 modwise, was it good?
For those that need a little help, please visit my Modwall 2010 to see all the mods published on this site. Of course, there were other SP mods released that weren’t covered here but it gives you are good idea of what is around.

5 Half-Life 2 Music Videos
I love MTV. Unlike many, if not most of you, I was around when it first launched and was working in the fitness industry at the time. The hours we spent working out and watching MTV! Ahhh, the good ol days. Anyway, I love to just put the TV on and watch the vids whenever I get the chance, which isn’t often and normally only when I get to stay in a hotel.
Half-Life has spawned a LOT of videos on YouTube and the like, but most aren’t very good. I’ve decided to post 5 videos that use Half-Life 2. If yours didn’t make the list, just comment and I’ll take a look. I may post a part two next year.
They are in no particular order. So, let’s get started.
