Hello and welcome to another community round up. My apologies for being 2 days late this week. Seems like it’s more videos than anything this week.
Please remember, I am not responsible for the content of other websites.
Don’t forget to send me your news by email and your URL if you want a credit link.
A funny little skit, using Dr. Breen and a citizen from HL2. It’s nearly 4 years old, but it’s new to me, so I’m sharing with you.
Fearlezz shows what he is planning with the character you met at the end of Factum Solus Ep1, in this video. Almost like an automated co-op mechanic. Looks interesting, don’t you think?
Another Portal dev video, but from reepblue this time. In this video you can see the gel and force field ideas from Portal 2.
A cool little video showing City 17 in Minecraft.
A silly little fun video of the Ep3 box and the consequences of taking it too early!
HLPortal.de has somephotos of the Valve booth from the GamesCon 2010.
Some silly little girl interviews doug.
Craig has released some new images of his mod The Gate 2. Get them while they’re hot.
Wilson Chronicles released a demo this week and most seem to have enjoyed it.
The Infected mod has released some new images and it looks interesting.
There’s been plenty of Portal 2 stuff from Cologne this week and LambdaGeneration has all of time, so instead of reposting, I recommend you go get it from them.
Xen Warrior is finally dead but they have released what they have. I haven’t played it myself but may get around to it next week. If you try it, please let me know what you think. It’s an unfinished beta, so expect the worst.
Another mod that died this week is Meaningless Story. Koto000 has released what he has made so far. As with any unfinished work, don’t expect the moon.
Deep Resonance was released and then removed this week and at 500Mb I was expecting something big. Unfortunately it never load and gave the “SetupArrayProps_R.” error. Maybe he can fix it. Screenshots look okay, nothing spectacular, but with the lack of mods recently almost anything will do!
This week’s Off Topic link is for the Abandoned Railway Station made in the UDK. Valve better their ass into gear and release something similar for Source soon or all lot of new modders will be lost to it. Especially after the recent feck up with Hammer. Definitely a topic worth exploring more, maybe even in a Poll Question.
Just playing around the other day I found the Top Commenters widget that I removed. I put it back for fun, well, not exactly fun, but just to see who posts the most. I’ll leave it for a week or so, but will eventually remove it, because it’s going to be incorporated into a bigger project.
Well, another week has gone and Episode 3 is just a little closer. Have a great week and expect a little visual surprise next week, here on PP.

Great to see the Gate 2 images and update. The team are doing well and seem to be close to an Alpha finish anyway.
This looks as if it’s going to be a big mod.
I like big mods.

I think it’s just Craig making it.

Craig is the mapper and leader.
It turns out that there are 8 more on the team!!

I stand corrected. Sorry.

I downloaded ‘Abandoned Railway Station’ even though it’s an .exe and 1/2 a gig.
These words by manhunter2, one of the team, caught my eye “btw its a standalone installation”.
It didn’t play unfortunately. A .dll short of a program.
Apparently it’s only one playable map at the moment but there is the promise of more to come.
I’ll keep my eye on it.
Anyone else try this? Did it work?

Some thing went right, one of my VERY old mods “TheGate” is working flawlessly. I didn’t have to tamper with the gameinfo or anything else. If that one is working I gotta dig for them disks that have mods I have forgotten the names of..lol
Maybe they FINALLY heard enough bitching and mad some kind of patch during the last update..lol
