A Tale About A Tail!

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

Imagine you woke up one morning with an itch in your lower back. This itch just got worse no matter how much you scratched it. Then over the coming weeks you noticed a protrusion where your coccyx is. This protrusion got longer and longer.

Colour Blindness

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

I learnt today that a person I occasionally work with is colour blind. As strange as it may seem I have never met or known anyone colour blind before. He has trouble distinguishing between greens and yellows. Not bright yellow or dark green but the lighter shades.

After a suitable period of time to allow the Headcrabs to do their work, a sweeper team is sent in to secure the town and capture the base.

Valve, Steam and its Pricing Model

Introduction Valve has recently restructured its pricing for games available via Steam. This is of course one of the advantages (from Valve’s point of view) and two of the three new packages seem to offer good value for money. I’m not going to repeat all the discussions about “Screwing Customers” etc.

X-treme Violence

for Half-Life

This map is a “level design test” created by the author as a portfolio piece with the hopes of landing a job as a designer in the game industry. It must have worked, Cayle went on to work at a number of game studios including Valve Software itself for a number of years. Don’t believe me? Go check out the Portal 2 credits! I’ll wait.
