Natural Selection On Television!

Longtooth · November 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">No Joke!</div> I was watching G4 a few minutes ago and they did a 5 minute segment on Halflife mods during their news show "Pulse". They had one of the main Valve dude talking about the mods he plays and he said the major mod he plays is NS! And for about a minute or two they talked about NS and showed footage and whatnot. If you don't have it G4 is a gaming television channel.

That doesn't seem too outlandish, especially since NS is in the top ten games played online (if you count mods as seperate games)

It's only a matter of time before Flayra goes into hiding because the Papparazzi are hounding him and eventually ends up like Michael Jackson.

Testament · November 2002

o_o Flayra like Micheal Jackson?

Inexorable · November 2002

Think about it, Flayra's a programmer so they're both a pale, pasty white. All Flayra needs now is a mansion, a monkey, and a baby to hang out his window. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Damn I wish I had seen this. If anyone has a copy of this that they can send me in any form, you'll get a special treat from the NS team (not sure what, but something good).

Anyone else have any info on this?

It seems the only NS hero is Flayra, but I'd like to see the people who made the models! Damned good job you unnamed heroes.

Boy_Wonder · November 2002

Flayra is the main ideaman, and he started it that's why he's praised like no others... but it's true that most people just talk about Flayra... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I don't. Did you read the comic? Everything Penny Arcade says is gospel. Check out <a href='http://www.penny-arcade.com/news.php3?date=2002-11-04' target='_blank'>this link.</a>

If you're blind or stupid and can't find the NS on that page, here's what it says about our favorite game..

"I felt an unspecified joy much of this weekend, by and large I was content not to investigate the source of it. That seemed somehow impolite. On Sunday, I realized it was Natural Selection.

Instead of reeling off a list of features you can get from any FAQ, I will relate a brief tale of adventure which may have more potent effect. It was my eighth time playing as a Marine, so I knew my basic way around the game but was by no means ready to command troops or rush up on an Onos or something. In a map I had never played before, I began to hear sounds that were moist beyond reckoning. Rounding the corner, I turned my heavy machinegun on a pair of strange, organic turrets. This must have **obscenity** off the hive or whatever, because a wave of vile, alien flesh barreled down the corridor after me. Retreating, I held the trigger down - playing it back and forth over the mass of claws and flesh like a fire hose. Having purchased safety at the expense of my every bullet, I hunched down behind a crate and sent a message to my commander. I told him I needed some ammo through the in-game radial menu. Almost immediately, crates of ammunition popped into existence, accompanies by blue flashes like the dreams of stars. This situation wasn't a fluke. The game is designed with this in mind."

Unsung heros? Hardly.
