It was a very different time. See also: Game developer that just ships Half-Life mods

They literally made an official HL mod to promote the movie Underworld, just an incredibly specific moment in time and space.

The HL1 mod scene between 99 and about 2003 was incredible.

What's on your mind, Axa?
I don't think I've ever seen the Underworld mod, but I have seen the PS2 game they only released in Europe and I'm pretty sure the mod is higher quality.

At the very least, the mod can't be worse.

Valve and Bad Robot (J. J. Abrams's production company) were doing stuff together at the time. Not a lot seems to have fallen out of that - I think they were vaguely involved with the PASS Time mode for TF2? - but they were apparently writing a script for a Portal movie as of 2021, so who knows...

On this topic, there was apparently plans at some point for an official Left 4 Dead 2 DLC set in the world of Cabin In The Woods. They were cancelled after MGM went bankrupt, but if you look carefully the Special Infected make a cameo in the movie...

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I tried the demo for Beyond Sunset, and it's really good, but the boss is rage-inducing.

Is there any way to check the difficulty of a save file? I think I got him within 10 deaths or so but that might have been on an easier difficulty. There was not much room for error

Was anything ever actually confirmed about Neil Manke and what was going on with him? I remember reading something about his health deteriorating back when They Hunger Source (or whatever it was called) started getting delayed, and then that was it.

I'll check, but I'm pretty sure I'm on Normal. I died a few times in the rest of the demo but mostly cause I was dumb and got swarmed. The boss feels like it's from a different game. It might be the setting, too, it's one boxy room versus the rest of the demo's multi level arenas.

As someone who has recently attempted this i would strongly advise against it

i was trying to play both KPC and Klingon Honor Guard concurrently earlier this year, and if that had been my intro to FPS games when i was younger, i probably would have sworn off gaming entirely

I had this theory as a kid that the Thief series--based on nothing besides the progression from Thief to Thief 2: The Metal Age--would advance technologically until, by Thief 4, it would be set in a modern alternate universe.

I remember being so hyped for that modern day Assassin's Creed where you'd finally run around as Desmond that was coming any year now. :smith:

Anyway there's no way to see what games are gonna be on the next big (spring) steam sale are there? I want viscerafest pretty badly, but if it's gonna drop down 3-4 bucks again like it did at winter, I can wait another month

Is the Build engine version worth a playthrough? Is there a modern port or is it DOSBox?

Build engine Powerslave is pretty cool, though there are a few tedious first person mazes it's mostly solid boom shoot combat with light environmental puzzle solving and key searching. Better than Redneck Rampage, not quite as good as Blood, Duke or even Shadow Warrior.

Which from my recollection is why Civvie only briefly touches on the Build Engine version when he did a video on Powerslave Exhumed, it's competent but doesn't really do much that would be exciting to cover in a video at least after all the other Build Engine games he's covered
