Black Mesa : Leaked
14 May 2006 by Josh Hubi | Half-Life 2 Modification |

Well, now we know how Valve felt.

Yesterday we received reports of a possible security breach when images from Black Mesa, not previously taken by developers, were distributed on a Half-Life forum. When other forumgoers asked about the media, he released images of Black Mesa's file structure and two in-game images of areas not previously shown to the public, due to their unfinished nature. At this point, we believe that he has acquired a recent build of our work, in the moments leading to a substantial code update known as "alpha-6".

The details of how the content was leaked are being kept in-house as they pose a serious security threat, but we have already improvements to hopefully prevent another breach like this. We are looking to pursue possible legal action which may affect those who aid in the distribution of the stolen content.

We have been working hard to consolidate our content and create a more complete Black Mesa and here we find our tireless efforts rewarded with a content leak. At this stage it is obvious that any content distributed is premature and does not reflect the intended final version of Black Mesa.

We cannot convince anyone to not download the content, but we are asking that you make the right choice and assist your fellow developers in their time of need. We do not expect this attack to affect Black Mesa's present speed of development for very long, but we will be taking security precautions to ensure that this does not happen again before development resumes. We are asking the community at large to assist us by linking any leaked media and/or leaked content to us immediately. Please email us at pr@blackmesasource.com if you have any information that might assist us.

More information as it arrives.

Valve Has Crabs
02 May 2006 by Josh Hubi | Valve |

Valve Software, esteemed creators of Half-Life 1 and 2 and the Source engine have turned around and surprised us again. A plush Head-Crab?

Apparently, Valve software has caught merchandising fever and recently released a plush doll version of their infamous head crab. Which, if you've ever played Half-Life, should be a very familiar creature.

Head crabs are the awful little monsters that attach to your face (like the face huggers from Aliens) and turn you into a mindless puppet zombie, doomed to wander the earth screaming and searching for victims.

Released under the name "Half Life Critters" These plush dolls may soon have some comrades for you to play with (Plush Ant Lions?). The official HLGamer headcrab is currently on order, and we'll let you know if it latches on and makes us brainless puppets, too.

Get your own head crab at www.valvesoftware.com
