Nice, I see you keep it up!

Most of the "Modifiers" are real cool, but I can suggest another one: Manhunt.
The mechanisms are, (1)in Hell's Kitchen 3, after finding Dowd, MJ12 troops will follow you wherever you go in that map, always to your position: this happens only then. (2)In Area 51 sec.4, infinite karkians will spawn regardless how many you kill.
In Revision, you could put 2 Secret Service agents to follow and kill you in every map with the same mechanism (1), and with random weapons of "Survival" enemies. Hard to kill and challenging, once you kill them 2, mechanism (2) makes other 2 men come a bit later, surprising you!

Also I can suggest putting back Paul's voice message in Osgood entrance, because it was the only instance I said myself "Interesting!! Gonna play some more".

And last, the 3 unused JC barks could be spoken as JC kills enemies, like the Postal Dude speaks in Postal2, and all the characters in GTA for example.

Paul's infolink either says: "Good work -- the soldiers will take over now. My men are in position, JC. We're counting on you to disable this EMP field. Talk to the locals. The power source must be nearby." or "Subdued, JC. I didn't say "dead." Forget the street-fighting. My men are in position, and we're counting on you to disable this EMP field. Talk to the locals. The power source must be nearby."
I removed it because Paul doesn't say to subdue the NSF, feels a bit awkward having him shout at you for that.

OK, but were both removed or only the second one?
Because I've heard only the first one: it seemed to fit in 100% (plus I love unused content), but I agree on deleting the second one as it makes no sense.

Both are removed. There's actually a third line in that infolink:

"Manderley wants to know what you think you're doing, JC. He says to get back to the warehouse. A chopper will meet you on the roof." - Alex

That one is used.

Also your Manhunt Modifier has been made and will be included in the next update.

I wish GOG would hurry up and update their installers with the newest patch. This has been out since October 13 and GOG has yet to make it available for their users. Ridiculous.

That's our fault. No need to shout at them (although that makes them send us emails wondering what's up).

Problem was that shortly after the 1.3 patch we noticed some issues that were introduced by the patch and should be corrected. So we held off giving it to GOG until that was fixed, but what should have taken a few days sort of just ran out in the sand. However now we are releasing 1.3.0.1 that fixes those issues and a few more. And I'm uploading to GOG as we speak.

The thing really is that with Steam it's just the press of a button and the things are published. For the installers that I keep uploading here and on our site it's a bit more tedious, and the upload usually takes like 1 ½hours. With GOG you have to do all this + some manual sending of emails, so you really only want to update GOG when you are sure of it so you don't keep emailing back and forth.
