<div class="IPBDescription">And its just so crazy it just might work</div>I was lying in my bed last night trying to go to sleep amongst the gentle sounds of thunder and rainfall, when all of a sudden I had an idea. A wonderfull idea. A gloriously deviant idea! An idea so crazy it just might work!!!
I figured out how to kill the half-life engine.
You see the way I look at it, I'm not a lucky person. Never have been, never will be. So its time to use that bad luck for the general good of mankind.
I figure that if I make a serious attempt to make a mod for half-life, and actually get some work done and whatnot, then when the mod is almost finished one of two things will happen:
1) HL engine doesn't die, I finish the mod, and release it.
or
2) The HL engine will die, and I'll begin porting the mod over to ut2k3 or whatever other engine I choose, allthewhile with the biggest grin on my face.
I know it sounds insane, but those who know me can testify to my extreme bad luck. The only way I can see this plain as failing is if the mod does not get made. That is the only wait to fail.
As most of you know, I hate the half-life engine. I hate it so much, that I will gladly sacrifice my only begotten mod if it means the HL engine's death.
Its genius I tell you! GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Therefore, I've sent a team of highly trained coders, mappers, animators and composers on their way to you. They'll soon arrive in a happily colorful van with extra - comfy backpart.
They'll first equip you with one their powerful mod-leader suits (white, extra long sleeves), and then bring you in a special secret manison where other people who share your level of genious live.
Good luck with your project!

THE HL ENGINE SHALL FALL!
Mmm... 4-bit colour... /me drools
Seriously, I've never had any problems with the HL-Engine, but for everyone/everything sometimes the time is over...
<a href="http://valve.speakeasy.net/survey/" target="_blank">Valve's hardware survey</a>
Specifically those with these video controllers that account for <b>half</b> of all users...
The HL engine can do wonderful things, and we can expect it to continue doing that for a long time.
Eventually a messiah shall come and give us a new, greater engine, but for now cherish what is given to you, or I'll send my boys round your house soon
However, HL will still continue for quite a while - hell, Quake mods are still getting played.
The HL engine will probably never die. WE LOVE YOU HL ENGINE!
personaly I like HL best simply b/c of the # of decent-good-amazing(*vough*NS*cough*) mods there are out there, and that they are still in development <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
but that's happened two or three times already and everytime they've just crucified him on a voodoo3!
I don't care what the rest of you say! I shall make a mod that causes my bad luck to strike the HL engine dead! then we'l see who's laughing (it'll be me)!
oh i'm gonna wait till NS has been out for a long time before I release though, don't worry flayra i won't waste your work ;)

you get your entire mod done, and it works perfectly becoming the next CS (when CS was a good thing), however you die in a freak accident involving your head, and 3 bannana slugs
see this fits into your bad luck, primarily b/c it would be GL for you if the engine died <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> and bad if it got a new surge of energy
Just a thought, that would be bad luck too right.
I wonder if people had this discussion about Doom (the original, now)?
[off-topic]I'm going away until Sunday. See you.[/off-topic]
I wonder why...

because part of my curse entails that any software bugs stick out at me like a sore thumb. I just tend to notice crap nobody else notices. Or i'm the first to report it even if not discovered. Its quite annoying at work though when I'm just trying to do my job and I run into a stupid problem with their software...
I'm not trying to brag, its just one of the gifts/curses I have hehe.
