    Black Mesa Source

    Ok guys, I made a post about this way back when in December of 2008. Wow that takes me back. Now it looks like we have a release date of September 14th for this little gem and a gameplay movie.

    For those that don't know, it's basically a total conversion of the original Half-Life but using the Half-Life 2 engine. I know it's dated by today's standards but I can't help but be excited. Sounds like they are leaving out Zen (Xen?) for now, I can deal with that, kinda hated that level.

    Almost thought I'd be in a retirement home before this project ever saw the light of day. They were very closed lipped about saying anything regarding a release.

    Half Life (original) was the greatest thing to ever happen to gaming. It still gets fired up at every lan party and custom bodies like kermit the frog still haunt my dreams.
