Ooooh noooo! I missed my once in 3 years blog post! I'm 2 years late...

Neat.

I don't know where you live but where I live you can get that snowy from a snowfall by just walking from your car to your house when the snow falls.

Besides, this is a ninja. He could have stood still waiting for an ambush opportunity.

Source 2 is coming out but a lot of time has passed, will the team be able to get back to Galactopticon? I do hope so.

Looks fantastic! It's been so long since the last release that I think "w00t" still used be a word.

W00t!?

Aah, the info about Neotokyo was wrong. It's now entirely standalone. Does not need neither Source game or Source SDK. You can just download it on Steam and it works even if you have no other Source games.

By the gods, I have waited for so long for Neotokyo to be released on Steam! Damn happy right now.

Bells and whistles which change everything. Tactics, combat dynamics and team work are completely different. Which makes it also feel completely different. It is different.

How about adding... Left Lean? =D

What you have is an old Half-Life mod version. That means you need Half-Life (not Half-life 2) to install and run it. Installing it should be fairly straightforward process.

Is it like top ninja of all time, top ninja of the month, top ninja of the week or all of them?

Because when I join the game say 3 months after release it'd be practically impossible to get near top rankers if it's all time top and they have thousand matches under their belt.

Well it's very very pretty but I seem to have the opinion that it's severely lacking smoke.

How many characters you plan to add this time? There's obviously a ridiculous amount of them but do you plan to stick with just Konoha or want to add some of the other characters from the other villages?

And Akatsuki? :D

Anyhow, you don't know how happy I'm to see NNK back and I can't wait to see what you can do with the unity engine!

You can reproduce the gameplay video with just a few simple steps!

Step 1: Close your eyes.

There you go!

Hush, it looks awesome. ;P

Hey, I guess I should then just go and replay it!

I love it so I'll be watching this!

Beautiful drawn and the dark humor is there and fitting.

Apparently, it's a web comic. A bonus. Look at the website of it, you'll see it updates once per week.

Some games have comics to accompany the game story, for example: Mass Effect series.

But you know what is the best part? This comic is providing us the backstory to Tales from the Galactopticon while we wait for the real deal. I presume the backstory won't be told inside the game then. And we can also presume the comic won't be touching the game plot either.

Ah, I see! His weak spot is his haircut! Throw a few insults at it and he becomes insecure and goes to hairdresser to get a new one!

Kill the framerate? *looks at his PC*

I dunno, modern PCs should have more than enough resources to handle the double amount of ships on screen.

Strapped a saddle on a jet engine. xD

WHAT!?

I wasn't expecting this! Sneaky sneaky, I'm installing it right now!

I have to say, leading up to NNKs release, the updates on this mod's progress were weekly but after the release of R1 there has been barely any word. Gathering info from here and there it's clear that the mod isn't dead, just pretty much on hiatus because of EsF co-project.

But it'd be a nice to get some info on the status for good old days sake when weekly Friday updates were something to look forward to. ;)

Chivalry has been on my shopping list for a while now and now after IOTY2012 and watching em Criken videos, it surely and steadily has become a Must Buy for me.

Black Mesa's Mod of The Year award has been coming from looooooong time ago. Considering they won the Best Upcoming Mod Award and many Honorable Mentions after that due to a mod that has won the award previous year can't be awarded again.

Also, in the past we used to complain that there are too many Source mods on the list. Well, now I'm going to complain that there are too many Company of Heroes mods on the list. xD

NOT QUITE!!! =0

Actually, I find Black Mesa's marines to be brilliant. They are the marines, special forces and all that, they are supposed to be tough motherfuckas! If you ask me, you can't outflank professional soldiers if you are a SINGLE MAN! Flanking works if there is more than one of you, heh. So in my opinion Black Mesa team has recreated the marines as something more than gun wielding mooks and that is all for the better.

And six years after saying "I want this, oh yes!" I got it. And was not disappointed, oh no.

And not even once in those six years I forgot to check for any kinds of updates for the project because, well, I really really wanted to play the game that defined the first great storyline for me, a game that brought brain into my brawn in a brand new coat of current gen. And now I can.

Thank you, BM Dev Team and Co.

PS: Can't wait for the final part!

4 years later and this trailer is still amazing. :D

And amazingly Black Mesa hasn't seen release yet. =D

Well, affecting metal with magnet generates heat and doing so with a series of massive super powerful magnets would generate a lot of it causing the slug to glow in some color of hot, like yellow or perhaps even white hot. And since the slug is fired off at VERY* high speeds, it would perhaps indeed appear as beam of light though what you see is just the trail of light left behind by the slug. Like the falling stars(burning debris) in the night sky.

*Halo claims it's fired off at 120 000 kilometres per second which is about four tenths of light speed. That is for Super MAC, normal MAC is "just" 30 000 kph.
