The Forgotten
Half-Life mod | TBD
I got a letter this morning, I feared the worst and I got the worst, cancer of the lung, my punishment for all those years of non stop chain smoking. That was the problem with the NAM, they handed those things out like candy on a regular basis, probably would never have coped so well if it wasn't for smokes. I guess my best years are behind me. Regrets? Sure, there are many... but you can't change the past so what's the point in dwelling on it? Anyway, there's no rest for the wicked, I've got work to do, some kid ran away to a place called Pinewood Creek and hasn't been heard from since, now her father needs me to go there and find out what's happened to her. It seems the authorities aren't giving him any answers, claiming they've never even seen the girl, I guess I'm his last hope. Maybe if I find this girl, God will give me a chance for Redemption.. you know.. if there actually is a God. Well.. I guess I better get going, I want to be out on the highway before dark. Pinewood Creek here I come...'

Computers are just great... until they stop working and then they're just fucking awful.
Yesterday I was watching a video file of footage for the upcoming Silent Hill Homecoming game and all of a sudden the computer just rebooted, I thought it had got a bit hot or something since it was a HD video and so I just waited till it started up again.
Except it didn't, it gave me the option to load safe mode with or without networking/command prompt, last known good configuration and start windows normally, it didn't matter what I clicked, nothing happened, a black screen came up and it just hanged. After several restarts I gave up, switched off all the power and left it alone for hours. Later I came back to it and all of a sudden it loaded up, with that damned 'your system has recovered from a serious error' box appearing. So I just went through my files to see if everything was ok for about 10 minutes and then boom.. a blue screen. No error message apart from the STOP (insert random characters here) at the bottom. Then, you guessed it.. it wouldn't boot up again.
My first thought was the recovery console on the XP disc, so I inserted that and waited for it to boot from the disc but it just went to a blue screen saying press F2 to enter the ASR and when I pressed that it didn't do anything. I'll probably get it to load if I leave it again but it'll probably blue screen again if there is a real problem. Anyhow, The Forgotten material is all backed up on several different drives along with other stuff, a good 90% of the data is safe so if I have to flatten it then it's not a big deal. I think the next step here is to slave the drive and see what I can grab from it, a similiar thing happened to a friend's hard-drive whereby it wouldn't boot but the data was fine.
Obviously this means that work on TF is going to be halted for awhile, as I have a full-time job in the week and wont get a chance to do anything until next weekend, which means that the August media release will be pushed back even further.. I'm so sorry! I'm really pissed off right now, I get little time to work on it as it is without this shit happening. Grrr.

its kinda hard to know =p
what? Someone would be more likely to say "I played a mod for Half Life, it was called THE FORGOTTEN. It isn't anything to do with a similarly titled mod for Source".
ppl can come: did u play the mod The Forgotten
errrrrrrr...
sorry d3ads but i guess u have to change the mod name =(
i was taking a look around my mod watch, and i saw it...
Moddb.com
im sorry buddy
Turn's out that one of the RAM sticks had blown, I took two of the four out and booted it and it ran fine with dual channel. Then I swapped them around and it ran at single channel because one is obviously fucked (though the system still recognises 1024mb of RAM.. wtf?). Just need to get some new memory now I guess.
A happy ending FTW - THE FORGOTTEN IS NOW LIVE AGAIN!
PS: Stay tuned for a small portion of media, you guys deserve it =)
very interesting...if you need a creepy creature (concept...I can't model worth a crap anymore) give me a shout. Hate to see this dead
Sorry I didn't see you post straight away! Yeah, that'd be cool.. I've pretty much sorted all creatures out at this point but I'm always open to new ideas :D

Cheers buddy =)
