Valve Week at 1UP.com -- Day Three

[Sui]

There’s no denying the huge importance Garry’s Mod plays in the Half - Life 2 modification community, and the third article in 1UP.com’s VALVe week acknowledges it openly.

What Newman's accomplished is, in effect, the world's first interactive physics simulator with a first-person shooter interface. And because the whole affair is so easily accessible, Newman's forums are giddy with the wide-eyed gumption of a high school physics class' show-and-tell space.

The four page feature contains much information about the successful physics playground, including some comments from Garry Newman, the creator - and 1UPs twelve favourite user creations, including an upcoming comic Apostasy, a giant flying fortress and a 350 foot tall robot.[br]

[br]Head over to 1UP.com to read the article. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also an extra special treat, in the form of an exclusive video containing brand new footage of Half-Life 2’s Xbox version. Check it out here.
[br]Tomorrow, 1UP are going retro by reminiscing about the origonal Half-Life, and how VALVe got started. Don't miss it!

That was a fun read. The video was pretty good. I hope they get some of those parts in the Xbox version cleaned up, because they lose some decent frames. Not that I'm a console kiddie..I just want the xboxers to feel the love I feel for hl2

Saweeet!!!

 

[dogboy73]

It's a real shame but half the time the links on these 1up HL2 pages don't seem to be active!!!

 

[Unfocused]

Aw, I want the savegame with that flying fortress!

 

[Gothax?]

Nice posting suicide

 

[Asuka]

Wow thats very cool. Im going to read the whole article tmr.

 

[dogboy73]

It's a nice article. I'm very intriqued by Garry's mod although I've never tried it myself. I think it's great the way it has inspired all these different ideas - From building crazy flying machines out & robots of bits & bobs to comic books & pornography (who didn't see the porn coming? :naughty It's a great idea & superb alternative use of the Source engine.

A few Good G-Men was made with G-Mod?

 

[Krusty]

Superb article... grrrr, http://www.phwcomics.com/ seems to be down though.

I've got the first issue of Apostasy but hadn't spotted the second.
Anyone know of a mirror?

Cheers,
Krusty

edit: back up now

A few Good G-Men was made with G-Mod?

No, they said they didn't know how it was made and took a guess. They guessed wrong

 

[Kalashnikov]

Yes, they did guess wrong. I don't think 1up.com writers have ever been to the garrysmod forums. Bans are handed out like they are bread-crums for the pigeons.

I think the principal of Garry's Mod is great.

 

[etzel90]

I love garrysmod! I play around in it at least 3 times a week. Too bad no one can post in thier forums due to the strict rules. I know i can't!

btw, this is a great article! can't wait till tomorrow.

 

[Yatta]

How old is Garry? Just out of curiousity.

 

[Deemo]

they said a few good g-men was made in garrys mod....

otherwise, a good article looking forward to tomorrow

 

[Vegeta897]

By the looks of his forums, I'd say 13.

But not to start up any flamewars or anything. Good article as always, can't wait to see the upcoming stuff

 

[DuB]

For some reason, 1up is not working at all for me... any ideas?

 

[TheSomeone]

Garry's mod is in his early twenties. It's true, he obviously can't run a forum, but he seems like a really smart, hardworking guy. The fact that he invested so much time in Garry's mod is impressive by itself.

Also, can anyone tell me how I should contact 1UP about "A Few Good G-Men"? I know exactly how it was made.

 

[NeoNight]

a few good G-men was nice

 

[Kimi]

Hi all, Kimi here from 1UP. The links should be working..I know that http://www.phwcomics.com was down for a while, but it is now back up.

TheSomeone, send me a PM here and we can talk about the information you have.

Looking at his forum's banlist, I reckon he'll have banned 30% of his users by next week.

 

[DuB]

Mind, for all the banning, there where a lot of asshats on that forum, so it's understandable.

I'd probably ban even more people than he does...
