Impressive Half Life 2 Case Mod

      That one isn't a dupe. The guy mad 2 cases. The first was > 6 months ago and was on the front page. Valve then commisioned him to do another HL2 mod for their official demo machine. That post from a month ago is that second case, and so I this one I think.

      Regardless, this story is a dupe, and a bad one since themonth old one had all the step by step comentary.

    This case was commissioned by Gabe Newell and will be inside Valve. Originally reported by Bit Tech.

    Just stick a couple of snotlings on top (or better yet, one underneath holding the case on a pole in total contravention of the laws of physics) and it could win a Golden demonaward.

  7. Here's the newest mod!!! by da3dAlus · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hey, down here, mod this one up. If you want a REAL HL2 mod, this is the Blackmesa 2 mod by the same guy. I believe this was a requisitioned mod from Valve, so this guy went all out to model it after real in-game models. I should note that parts 1, 2, and 3 for this mod are posted, and it's already been about a week since it was last on Bluesnews, so once again /. is behind the curve anyway.

    Well this is a good 6 or 9 months late. This was posted on just about every gamer forum that had a HL2 section or Case Mods section out there all those months ago. Funny how its only now slashdot worthy.
