It made me rethink life…
So provocative…
Hilarious and Depressing at the same time…
The best zombie film ever created, the walking dead meets the dead island trailer…
From the music to the cinematography, it was absolutely perfect.

What about Dear Esther going into their first independent build?

Ivan’s Secrets is on the Alien Swarm engine now, smart move considering that engine prob inst gonna get any huge mod breaking updates. http://www.moddb.com/mods/ivans-secrets
Oh have times have changed http://finaldog.com/imagedump/halflife-full.jpg
This is speculation on my part but might be worth a mention:
This week there have been a series of updates to the Source SDK which indicate that Valve -might- be planning to release their New SDK soon (minus Valve time). All us developers know that Valve isn’t one for fixing bugs that don’t directly affect their commercial products but a series of unprompted bug fixes and feature additions in the SDK have been delivered almost every day this week so far. Latest one was a big one.
What I am trying to say is if Valve announce the new SDK any time soon – I called it! :P
