Fans Bring Back Half Life Game Series: Black Mesa Mod Launches 9/14

MojoKid writes "In a little less than two weeks, Half Life fans will have an opportunity to relive Valve's original 1998 title Half Life, albeit reborn and modified using the company's Source engine. The ambitious third-party project is called Black Mesa (previously known as Black Mesa: Source) and it's been in development for eight years. Black Mesa will deliver Half Life as you've never seen it before. It will have all new graphics, maps, a new soundtrack, updated voice acting, support for multi-core processors, hardware accelerated facial animation, and other goodies."

No Xen.

Because that would require creative imagination and energy.

Geeez, I need to take a vacation or something. My first thought was, "What the fuck does virtualization have to do with a Half Life mod?"

Won't get excited or RTFA until I know, will it require a connection?

Yes, it requires that your computer is plugged into a power socket. If you have a laptop, it will drain the battery.

That's the way of things these days. When you have nothing better to say, you whine and bitch about a substantial project, entirely created by volunteers, given away for free, and to which you have contributed nothing... as if they owe you something. I believe it's one of the requirements for the new Boy Scouts "entitlement" badge.
