Orange Box Modding
Not much new to report in my life but I wanted to write about MINERVA: Metastasis. I’ve been trying out some mods since I bought the Orange Box and so far Minerva is by far the best. Offering the same style of gameplay and feel that Half Life 2 does, it feels like a side story with HL2. You can download it here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/5803/minerva
Another mod of note is ZombiePanic: Source. Filling the void of a zombie shooter until Left 4 Dead comes out, it is very funny and the people I have meet playing it are great. Everyone is into the zombie feel, and the slow speech of zombies looking for braiiiiins… over voice chat from people is great. Gameplay I feel needs some tweaking to balance out the survivors and the zombies and some maps are pretty poor, but it is a nice break from TF2.
