HL2: Short Stories – Human Error Released
12:08 PM February 8, 2010 By: Hectic Glenn | In: Mods | 6 Comments

We have already mentioned this release in our round-up but with HLSS being one of our favourite mods, with our local residents Au Heppa & Samon being on the team we can't help but want to spread word a little further. Human Error is one of the episodes part of the HLSS series. You play as part of a Civil Protection fighting the remaining Xenians on earth, with the ability to drive APCs and control manhacks.

Look out for the notable other CP characters: Eloise, Noah and Larson. Only this week were we introduced to Larson (voiced by Phillip of Planetphillip) in the song "This is Larson" written by Jonathan Lewis.



You can download Human Error from the Half-life 2: Short stories website - ensure you get the full 1.0.2 installer or 1.0 and the patch.

After a long time waiting, ModDB have announced the MOTY players choice. Many Source mods had made the top 100 but unfortunately it wasn't a Source mod topping the charts this year.

  • Second place: Research & Development - A terrific single player mod (a real must play)

  • Third place: NeoTokyo - A polished multi player mod based around tactical combat

  • Tenth place: Resistance & Liberation - WW2 themed multi-player mod with a dedicated team updating & ensuring historical accuracy

Team Fortress 2 Update Released.
6:03 PM February 3, 2010 By: dekstar | In: Team Fortress 2 | 9 Comments

A new update has revealed an intriguing-sounding game-mode for Team Fortress 2. The game-mode is called "Highlander mode", and restricts the game to 9v9, with one class per player. It seems to be for competitive play, though chances are we will see it cropping up in experimental public servers very soon. If you have a 'Highlander' game, why not post your impressions of it in the comments?

Along with the new game-mode, Valve have updated a few of the maps, stopping various exploits and performance issues. Here are a few of the note-worthy updates:

  • Enabled Steam Cloud support for key bindings and custom spraypaint images
    • Added Options->Multiplayer->Advanced option to toggle off/on: default is on
  • Added "bots" to the server's sv_tags convar if the server is running bots (yay, now we can avoid bot servers!)
  • Optimized the map Arena_WatchTower for better performance

To see the full list of changes, click here.
As usual, to receive the update, restart your steam clients now!

An announcement from Steampowered outlines there will be a disruption to Steam this Thursday at 6pm PST for software maintenance on Steam servers.
Some Steam services will be offline during this time. Affected services will include the Steam Community, in-game matchmaking or lobbies, downloading games from Steam content servers, and making purchases from the Steam store. Games that do not rely on Steam matchmaking services should remain playable.
L4D1 and L4D2 are obviously reliant upon matchmaking. The TF2 item system is also linked through Steam community (and achievements).

Time clarifications for maintenance: 6pm PST / 11pm EST / 4am GMT - Will last 3 hours maximum till 9pm PST / 2am EST / 7am GMT.
Team Fortress 2 Propaganda Contest Runners-Up
7:50 AM February 3, 2010 By: Hectic Glenn | In: Team Fortress 2 | 9 Comments

The TF2 blog has a mighty long list of honourable mentions for other entries to the propaganda contest held recently. They were swamped with 11,000 submissions which left plenty of other entries without the kudos they perhaps deserved.

Check out the blog to see some Valve style humour with the awards they've designated the remaining entries. It is rumoured all the mentioned runners-up of the competition won a T-shirt.

The second runner up there aptly won the award for: Most Likely to Get Us a Cease and Desist Order From Bethesda
