Ah first post in a while. There's a reason. I've been in gaming isolation. This means that I've found a game so delightfully frustrating, puzzling and entertaining that I've stayed up hour after hour in my continued attempts to beat it. What game is this, dare you ask? First, allow me to tell you the backstory. I have always been up until a few months ago...a conservative gamer. That's right, I've tried to stay within my gaming boundaries I set for myself and play only games in that small sector. This, in turn, cut me off from awesome titles. Then, I was at a thrift store and found one disc that would change all this. Half Life: Game of the Year Edition. I was excited beyond belief because when you register this game you got a TON of classic Valve games. I was skeptical but bought it anyways. Over the next month I succesfully beat all three of the classic Half Life games (original, Blue Shift, and Opposing Force).
I was entranced. Never before had a FPS gotten my attention as this series had and I craved more. But then reality set in and I was unable to buy Half Life 2. I was torn. THEN...one of my good friends showed me a special website. Contained within its pages was another Half Life...Black Mesa Source. I downloaded immediately waited two hours for the files to copy to my PC and downloaded the game without hesitation. I've been playing near non-stop between school and chores and have got only so far. If you've ever played Half Life you know the game lasts a long time. And with this ones updated designs and puzzles I can't see myself finishing anytime soon. I can only imagine what the Nihilith will be like.
Just one minute of a prayer if you can manage.
Have strength.
