Dear Esther
Half-Life 2 mod | Released Jun 19, 2008
A deserted island... a lost man... memories of a fatal crash... a book written by a dying explorer. Dear Esther is a ghost story told using first-person gaming technologies. Rather than traditional gameplay, the focus here is on exploration, uncovering the mystery of the island, of who you are and why you are here. Fragments of story are randomly triggered by moving around the environments, making every telling unique. Features a stunning, specially commissioned soundtrack. Forget the normal rules of play; if nothing seems real here, it's because it may just be all a delusion. What is the significance of the aerial - What happened on the motorway - is the island real or imagined - who is Esther and why has she chosen to summon you here? The answers are out there, on the lost beach and the tunnels under the island. Or then again, they may just not be, after all...

A slight delay this week, but still with in the “sometime late Sunday or during Monday” guidelines we try to stick to. The reason for the delay is a new recording technique we are trying, utilising Skype and CallBurner for recording and then editing with Adobe Audition instead of our usual method of recording with Ventrilo and editing with Audacity.

Thanks for inviting us onto the show guys, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Twas a great and very funny evening :D
Nice job again :D. Always do really nice podcasts.
Thanks
thats the song from Diamond Half-Life
Remember that DHL pack was a compilation of others works, built to meet a certain theme. That song was composed by a highly edited MP3 file by a person by the alias of MusicallyInspired.
Is this related to Fireguns in any way?

I don't think so.
He's got Occupation completely wrong, its nothing to do with CSS really its only for legal reasons that its involved, its more of a tech demo, its only on its 3rd version OccupationG and myself are working on getting permission to use 3rd party models from popular people in the community, give it time, its confusing at first buts its eventually really enjoyable, patience is a virtue! Its a VERY different mod, so you need to view it with a VERY different perspective.
