Black Mesa Source - Red Letter Day

[the dark side]

PC gamer..., dont laugh, but i still get the Magazine version! shame it doesnt have a demo disk every month like it used to though! (still got that awesome one that had Half Life: Uplink, (wonder if "Black Mesa" will "re-instate" the uplink level, or if it will stay as the stand alone demo from yesteyear, be nice if they did put "uplink" in.) SIN, Unreal (1), and Quake 2 all on the same disk, that one was mega!),

yeah, Totalbiscuit knows what he's on about, i always go to his reviews first, insightfull, detailed, intelligent, and often laugh out loud funny too boot! i also like how hes not afraid to show himself getting it wrong, unlike other reviewers.

i'm not all that old myself really, 26 this bithday, ok, in gamers terms, thats practically out of the ark, but it does worry me the number of people around my age who use the casual reviewers and play the casual AAA games, i mean, surely they of all people are old enough to see how much better the classic games often are? many are harder, longer, more reliable, Better plotted (post Half Life era, they didnt have one at all pre Half Life most of the time!), more unique art direction.. what happened to gaming?, and some of my fellow "experienced" gamers come to think of it, it seems to have gone...backwards to the 2600 era.

when you get people my age who think the new, COD cloned, "goldeneye reloaded" is better than the original "goldeneye 64", wich along with Half Life, helped revolutionise the FPS genre, you know something has gone seriously wrong!

and ive gone off topic... SORRY!

so, is Black Mesa going to get any of the "special" levels Valve cooked up, Like Uplink? or just the Original game set?
