Strider Mountain

Half-Life 2 mod | Released Sep 12, 2009

AT 30,000 FEET... you are almost 6 miles (9.7 km's) above sea level. The human body is not made for these conditions. Temperatures can plummet to -60F (-51C), the brain is starved for oxygen and each step is a new experience in pure agony. It's difficult to breathe. It's difficult to think. It's difficult to move. And you still have to endure another 444 feet (0.14 km's) to get to the peak. So much for the good news. STORYLINE: SURVIVE the SUMMIT ...The rebels are losing the battle against the strider onslaught that keeps growing. To help turn the tide of war you need to destroy the source of the Striders. That source is at the summit of what the rebels call, StriderMountain. There is only one way to get into the mountain geography and it's extremely dangerous terrain. The danger proves to be too much and you are forced way off target. Now, you must fight your way through the Combine Mountain Base Camp because it's the only entry to the mountain. As Gordon...

We’re joined by Steve (Tibberius Bane) from Age of Chivalry this week for a shortened episode in which we discuss less than usual because we didn’t get to play as much as usual. But on the bright side, William’s back from Vegas.

Note:

We kinda screwed up reporting MOTY Editors choice. I would edit it out, but that would screw up more things than it's worth; so here's my disclaimer:

"Ignore everything you hear in the MOTY Editors choice section of this podcast"

Here are the important bits that are true:
- Celestial Impact won for Most Innovated Multiplayer
- Delta Sector won for Best Original Art Direction
- And at the time the nominees for Best Upcoming Mods were announced.

I've stepped on a few toes, made a few assumptions and I apologize for that - I should know better and deserve a spanking... uhh... I mean I'll correct it in the next show; yea... that's what I meant.

Another Awesome Podcast. Only thing i would say is these podcasts are still long lol. All the podcasts you guys do go on for like 1 hour it's nice to have in background but maybe could shorten it slightly (or not :P). Great work anyway.

Thanks. Yea it's hard because we want to cover all the news + have interviews... we thought of breaking apart the podcast into a separate interview but after looking at our demographic we figured people wouldn't listen to both in a week.

I think the length is ideal.. there is so much ground to cover within the
HL universe and related games, that if it is any shorter, you wouldn't have a chance to cover it.
