I believe that would be the U.S.S. Darkstar mod, also by the author of the They Hunger trilogy, Neil Manke.

I've played a few mods for Half-Life, but they were all of the single-player variety. Low Ping Bastards on a T3 line who still feel the infantile need to win via wallhacking soured me on the whole online gaming thing.

Also, even in a fair contest, I tend to get my sorry ass schooled by some 16-year-old who can practice 20 hours a day over the summer. Or by some 35-year-old who's never failed to log in four hours of practice on an FPS since Quake I was out of beta. Or by, well, anyone else out there who doesn't completely suck at deathmatches the way I do. The disparity between the l33t masters of the world and the kiddie-pool duffers like myself is disheartening.

Single-playerwise, though, I hear that Poke 646 was very nice indeed. I haven't tried it myself, you understand, just passing the link along. [url]http://www.poke646.com/[/url]

Also: The @They Hunger@ three-part series in Incredible, and stars the voices of the PC-GAMER UK people, so i'ts cool. There's another one set on a starship with an impressive intro, I cna't remember what it's called; also with the PC GAMER staff.

I hear ya. Truly, it is. I downloaded that, on a 56k, when I was really into the modding scene for half-life. There are some gems out there: Azure Sheep is quite good, the @What If?@ series, which question what would've happened, if, say, Gordon had jumped on [i]that[/i] helicopter as it crashed, etc. That's quite good.

But Chemical Existence is terrible. Have you seen the Sniper Scope yet? I hope not. I hope you turned it off before that.

Enough.... gems?!?!?!

Enough GODDAMN GEMS???!

You didn't get the right ending because your gem count was not high enough.

I guess this proves once and for all who was doing all the goddamn work on Doom II. Jesus Christ.



In other news, the Chemical Existence mod for Half-Life is the worst game I have ever played in my entire life. I would like to go on record and state that as officially the worst.

Well, instead of digging up the GTA thread where I started talking about this game, I'll just mention that I got back to this tonight and finally beat the damn thing. So, what it all comes down to is, it didn't even give me the optimal ending because I guess I didn't collect enough gems. After liking Anachronox so much, I can't help but think that these guys are well-intentioned but man, did that game end up sucking my ass. Oh well.
