For those not following Jim Partridge’s RTSL livestream event, called Critical Jim, he plays and dissects a different mod every month.
He normally has a guest to throw and crush ideas around.
Here are his starting mapping rules. Don’t be surprised if they get added to and/or updated as he finds new elements to discuss.

Look at that! Valve just dropped a big Half-Life update on the eve of its 25-year anniversary. So, let’s check out how it plays!
I’ll stream Half-Life at the usual time (12 noon Saturday eastern US time / 5pm in the UK / 6pm Central Europe).

You are Flynn Weißhaupt, a computer engineer of Black Mesa who worked on the Gibson, a powerful supercomputer. Now with the Resonance Cascade, it is your mission to retrieve the data of the Gibson and destroy it. Because The Gibson is too powerful to fall into the hands of alien forces or the military.

After the rousing success of Half-Life: Abridged, the Map Labs crew ran a broader challenge to abridge popular Half-Life mods instead of the official games. The list of mods available to entrants was huge (too long to list here!) but it covered a wide variety of HL1 mods, HL2 mods, and even several small and single-map mods.
So here’s Abridged All-Stars, with 11 entrants!

A simple challenge for this Test Tube (short competition): make a map inspired by the Doom series. Any Doom media was on the table – games, films (ugh), even novelizations?! As long as it oozed DOOM, the authors could make whatever they wanted.
Rip & Crowbar! Enjoy the 7 maps! And the absolutely superb introduction & background map by beefbacon, featuring the vocal talents of Gianni Matragrano, and music by Dee Leggett!

As usual, time flies by. It seems like I was just streaming Cry of Fear a week ago! But here we are in late November, time for a different Classic of the Month!
I’ll be playing Half-Life: The Infected from a couple years back by Neclipse.
The stream will be this weekend on Saturday November 26th, about 12pm (noon) Eastern US Time (5pm in the UK, 6pm Central Europe).

Half-Life: Visitors from 2004 was chosen (by you!) for the November Classic of the Month – another one I’ve not played since about when it first came out. So let’s see what it has in store and if it holds up!
The stream will be this weekend on Saturday November 20th, about 12pm (noon) Eastern US Time (5pm in the UK, 6pm Central Europe).
