When it comes to video games, one of the things I'm proudest of is to always adopt a contemporary perspective in order to analyze them objectively. Even as a teen, I transported myself back in time to the same year the software was released in, adopting the context, in order to fully appreciate its merits. I could play a 1990 classic in 2010 and think "Wow, these graphics are incredible." I pity those who reject playing games released more than five years earlier, stating that "they're too old", not seeing past the technical aspect. How can you neglect your self discipline in such a way?

Fear not: despite the title, this isn't a bad taste school-shooting mod or anything like that.

After clicking on "New Game" and playing for about five minutes, my first reaction was to double check that I hadn't inadvertently launched Blue Shift instead. So strong is the similarity. In fact, this mod begins basically as a remake of that expansion. Why somebody would spend such effort to homage the least gifted of HL's offspring, I cannot venture why. Perhaps the author grew up playing it, who knows.

It was about time I reviewed this game. Maybe I should have put it first. Not just because of its relevance to the ludic community overall, but also because of the impression it left on me and how it shaped who I am now (not to mention, that now I'll have to edit a lot of articles to add links to it!).

Perhaps the most mundane of my stories. No robots or spaceships this time, or bizarre plots! I promise.
